BlkTallFullFig: It seems that you judge me for nothing more than being white. Hmmm... sounds lika a racist. Do you honestly think that only black people suffered through the ages? What about Jews? Oh, yeah, they couldn't have. They're white. What about the Armenians? Oh, yeah, they're white too. What about russians during Stalin's reign? Damn, white again! I guess white peoples suffering are a matter of complete indifference to you. Of course you have the slave thing. Strange that. The vast majority of Africans put into slavery were sold into it by other Africans. Let us not forget all of the problems beset upon the African continent of late. Black on black violence. We mustn't forget Asia, what with the rape on Nanking and other incidences. Strangely, it seems that most of the atrocities of history have been perpetrated upon every "race" on this planet, usually by those of the same race. Violence and suppression is not owned by any one group. All are guilty, and all have fallen victom. If I were to beat up a black person while calling them n****r or boy, it would be a hate crime. What if a black person beats me up calling me whitey or white-boy? Is that not the exact same thing? Is previous history a justification for such behavior? Now, I may not be a phillanthropist (way to cynical for that), nor am I a saint. Is that a reason to discount my experience? If that's the case, then why sould anyone care what happened to black people? Unless you are proposing that all black people are phillanthropic saints only trodden upon by non-blacks. Interesting. All black people are perfect. Others, not. I'm sorry, but that does sound a bit racist. I have examined my self on the count of racism and the reasons for racist thoughts. Perhaps you should do the same. Try to use logic and reason, and not knee-jerk emotionalism. As for my racism, I AM over it. I am now just a general curmudgeon: humanity generally stinks. I now assume all to be corrupt and evil until I get to know them on an individual basis. Whether you believe me or not is of little consequence to me. I do not care. As long as I know who I am, it matters not what others think. NeedToUseYou: Thanks, it is nice to see logic and reason. I tire so much of those that are braindead.
