Freedom Writers

I started reading the freedom writers diary. So far it's a great book, I can't relate too much on how they live life and their personality. I mean their life, it's basiclly a race on race war. I don't understand how so many people can just stand there and shoot at someone without even having an actual reason beside "I can't let him stand there in front of me when he wanted to shoot me too." or "He's blahblahblah race they think they can act all bad in front of me.". It's wrong. I mean I couldn't stand there and watch my best frined die in front of me. It's sad how people could be so angry at someone just by their color of skin. I would never want to stoop to that level of violence.
