    I have that problem too, except it's not racial. I can't remember faces at all.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      Knock it off - the two gentlemen DO resemble one another and it was an honest mistake.

        I'm not face blind but I have the hardest time remembering faces if they aren't where I associate them. I had patients walk up to me in stores and they had to tell me who they were - I even had that happen with a coworker! But if I see them at the clinic or wherever I interviewed them, no problem identifying them at all.

        And yeah, white or black makes no difference.

            They do resemble each other strongly, having nothing to do with race per se. Quit being a jerk - you're just looking for an excuse to call people racists - and honestly, it is plain nasty when you do that.

                Yeah, way back when I was a cop, I was also a youth minister. Sometimes, I'd see a kid and think, "hmmmm... do I know him from church or jail.... or BOTH!
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          Middle-aged black guys with strikingly similar features, yes. If I didn't any better, I would have assumed the pictures were the same guy.

                          But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
