    The problem is the self-developed separation of races is why there are pictures of children (yes I still think of us as kids) in my yearbook who won't ever be able to do anything again because someone wanted to look at them based on the color of their skin.

    I know my ranting will never accomplish enough to solve this problem but maybe someday I'll be enough of an influence to show my children why we ought not view people in this manner and hopefully someday they to will pass it on to someone else.

    I dont think this thread was tryin to be biased or anything, theres just not that many that play. Nobody has said anything bad in this thread, so I think it is perfectly fine. Not saying anything about ur opinions either, Im the same way.

      Actually looking at anyone and catogorizing them by their ethnicity is biased. And no, no one has said anything bad which I commend, due to the level of "maturity" of the people on this forum.

        I was just wondering why you don't see many black people playing paintball, its like less than one percent of the people playing are black, kinda like the opposite of the NBA

        ENDO!
