Fog Blog Ridiculog: Regional Racism or Prejudice:

WE HAVE ALL HEARD OF THE RACISM ISSUES WITH THE POLICE SOUTH OF THE BORDER AND EVEN HERE IN CANADA......BUT WHAT ABOUT REGIONAL RACISM OR PREJUDICE........WHEN SOMEONE IS FROM ANOTHER AREA OR COUNTRY EVEN......WE MAY HAVE THE SAME SKIN COLOUR OR BELIEFS BUT FROM ANOTHER PROVINCE OR STATE OR SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE AND THERE ARE SOME THAT CAN BE RACIST ABOUT IT. MOM....AND MY AUNT AND GRANDMOTHER GOT ALONG FOR THE MOST PART BUT IF AN ARGUMENT WOULD ERUPT......THEY WOULD REMIND MY MOM IN A VERY SHARP TONE THAT SHE WAS FROM ONTARIO AND TO GO BACK THERE! ONE TIME MY MOM HAD TO ATTEND A FUNERAL IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO FOR HER GRANDMOTHER AND WHEN SHE WAS GONE....MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD ME AND DAD ....SHE LEFT FOR GOOD AND WOULDN'T BE BACK....THAT HURT MOM ALOT. THEY WOULD WITHHOLD MAIL , MAKE NOISES....SCARE ME WTIH BOOGEY MAN COSTUMES.....THAT WAS MY AUNT'S DOING....SHE EVEN DID THAT WHILE MY GRANDMOTHER FROM TORONTO WAS VISITING!......I can't believe that people can be racist with just about anything......crazy stuff......on CNN today we were all reminded that under the skin....we are all the same and equal.....let's learn that lesson!
