I'm just appalled that you are speaking on forgiveness, but yet have you done that towards the NPHC that you so passionately continues to speak out against? Don't understand what I mean? Let me break it down to you....
When you speak out against the policies/traditions/mindsets of the NPHC and its members on this board, should we then assume that you are bearing unforgiveness in your heart? If the answer is no, then why are you making this assumption about those on this board who chose to speak out concerning racial matters - that we are somehow harboring "unforgiveness" and "full of big egos" ? Obviously, speaking out against an issue and forgiveness are not related, right? Or is this only the case when you do it?
Have you forgotten that forgiveness applies to EVERYTHING in our life, not just those people or subject matters that we deem fit to deserve it.
Just something to think about while you are explaining why you are so "enlightened" and "different" from everyone else.
ETA: Teena, no one hates Rainman (well at least I don't) and shoot, and I don't necessarily agree with everything posted. But there is a way in which to get your opinion (even if its an oposing viewpoint) across in order to be heard.

Good question, Honeykiss and I will give (hopefully) a good answer:
I am (at least IMO) not harboring unforgiveness when I speak about the NPHC because at the end of the day I am always willing and open to make peace and be friends with NPHC members. What it comes down do in my diatribes is my expression of dissention or disagreement, but I do not take opposing views personally. I do not harbor anger or resentment or let the diagreement fester in my heart. I learn from the experience and KIM.
OTOH, this discussion (and many others like it), people take it personally to the point where it degenerates into personal attacks and namecalling. There is genuine animosity between the races. I harbor no animosity whatsoever with the NPHC or its policies. I may not agree with all their mindsets and mentalities, but I don't take it personally either.
That is probably the reason why Teena named me Most Tolerant on GC.
