strongchick, i think it's good you got your degree and have had the opportunity to better yourself. i get tired of hearing this white man opprssion crap and this you people stuff. news flash, you are one of these people. americans are americans. let's do away with the surname before american. we are all americans except the illegals that are here, deport them and give those jobs to our unemployed whether they are black, white, hispanic, italian or whatever. minority groups(not all minorities feel this way) don't want equality they want superiority. women's groups as well want the same thing. i'm tired of the white man being blamed for the stuff that goes wrong in this country. i did'nt make joe blow snort crack and die cause he's an addict, he did it not me. if it was'nt for the "evil white man" as he is often refered to, there would be no america, there would be no freedom, no constitution, blacks would still be slaves in europe and now maybe in the mid east and asia. i don't agree with the things that happend to the natives, i am part cherokee and creek, but that happend a long time ago. will i apologize for what happend 200 or more years ago, no. why? it aint my fault. i am trying to make this country better and preserve what my forefathers faught and died for to make this country what it should be. i agree with the desegragating and equal rights but today libs are going way beyond equal rights, they are trying to reverse things to where the white man is opressed and for that are making themselves into hypocrites as they are going against what they were fighting for, equality, not superiority.
