Tolerance

Tolerance - the ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

I remember that had a family member who was so in tolerant, that most of the time he talks about black people. My cousin lives in a highly populated white community, that he only sees black people in the streets or people like to call it the "hood". Once  I got so mad at the things he was saying. For example "If I ever see a n*****, ever again? I'm gonna treat them as my slave." I got so offended that I punched him right in the nose and was bleeding from his nose and went to the hospital. Ironically the doctor that helped my cousin was African American. So all the time he was being races against African American people, he'd paid the price.

  1. Wow, that's a crazy story! While I don't agree with you punching your cousin, I certainly understand your frustration.
