Labels...

Being labeled something before you even meet someone isn't the best feeling because they already have their mind set to what they think of you and how they may even want you to answer their own questions about you in their way. Its not that they really want to make you be someone else its just simply they heard and/or see how your particular race or ethnicity acts on TV or even down the street from where they may live.
Lets admit we've all said "watch out for them hunny they may be like those boys you see on TV roaming the streets and robbing people" because their the same race.  I can say I have been guilty of clutching my phone a bit tighter in a bad area or checking my back pockets when a guy has passed behind me, but I myself don't feel like I'm a racist I just have a stereotypical mindset.
