I just got back from the movie "crash", and it made me think about how it seems to me that racism gets worse the closer you get to a big city I've lived from coast to coast and i dont know how it is that there is this stereo-type about small towns having alot of racism came from. I have found that the real big citys seem to be the worst.

I agree. I think in big cities its easier for segregation/racism to manifest because some areas are known as being mainly occupied by people of a certain race (which through stereotypical fear/intimidation keeps 'others' out or simply no need to go to that location). Whereas in a smaller town you have to interact with different people just to accomplish your day to day business...unless you're in the boondocks then segregation can work the same way it works in big cities through isolation.

It'll be a while before the movie comes over here (I'm stationed with my husband in germany) but I definitely want to see it.

Hi there, haven't seen that one. Maybe when it hits blockbuster. Liverpool is near Syracuse. Where the hell is Valhalla, NY? Talk to you soon smile
