I did not wish to get into it so much....I'm just annoyed, and have been for years, of blanket statements by people who latch on to a concept and swear by it without rationalizing.

I take a pass when people of African descent bring it up..these people are judging me without seeing me, based on what they have been told to think about me and besides, they have a history they know of (it's not my history, but explaining that is of no value)..I get really hot when affluent people who appear to have no other axe to grind other than to start an argument mention it.

The same people who can afford to trade and own computers to discuss trading on the internet one would expect to have a more educated viewpoint than to presume all white Americans are responsible for the ills of the world past and present.

For my own part, as I said I grew up in a poor working class town of mixed heritage. So I have an idea of what race problems are. What they are not as a rule, are problems that would be as prominent were each of the people involved had more respect for each other. This respect becomes easier when people have enough food, clothing and shelter .... certainly something each of here have.

Anyway, I prefer to try to drop it from my end and shall skip further remarks on the topic...it really does get "my Irish up", so to speak.
