Dionysus.... I agree with you. My reason for mentioning all that is because people keep saying that what happened to African Americans back then is so much worse than what happened to all these other people. And someone said you can't compare them. That's right, you can't. No ones problems are exactly the same, and no one's problems are more trivial than the next person's. That is what is angering me the most is that people keep bringing that up. That is why I asked if any of those minorities were complaining. Not to compare them, I'm sorry if that is what yall got out of it.
And I did not mean to offend the African Americans of America. I'm sorry if I did. If Hispanics always made it a Hispanic thing, or Asians always made it an Asian thing, I would feel the same. Even if whites did that. Do you think I like the KKK? No I don't. I don't agree with hating people just for what they look like, talk like, etc. If I were to meet one of you on the street one day, I may become friends with you. But the moment that you brought up well this this and this is cuz I'm black, then forget it.
Comedians even joke about it. There was an episode on Fresh Prince where he was like "....cuz I'm black", jokingly. Is it wrong for him to say that too? Prolly not cuz he is black.
And to Steel Trap... your mailbox was full so I'll respond here.
If you felt the need to report me, then fine. But how dare you tell me not to post. Who are you? My BGLO thread a while back was not to offend, altho I did involuntarily. I also posted on there that I now understand the history. My thread was for information, not starting a race war. I do not have a small mind. I have an open mind. I give everyone a chance, but when they do something to irk me, I reconsider. Obviously I add something constructive as well as other GCers on this board.... a heated debate.

. No. My morals are quite alright, thank you.
How many people in this thread did you report? That is what I"m wondering, but don't worry I'm not losing any sleep over it.
Oh yeah, and I am in the middle of being educated, so I don't have to sit around and deal drugs and collect food stamps for the rest of my life (lol Rick). [bold]That was an inside joke, so DON"T take it personally anyone[/bold].
