Slider, this is the first time I have responded to one of your posts since you warned me off Friede Goldman Halter back in 2000. Thanks again for that.

The best comparison I can come up with in regard to our minority problems is crabs. If you have ever been crabbing and placed the crabs you catch in a bucket you notice that if a crab attempts to get out of the bucket another crab will pull him back in just as he almost gains his freedom.

It takes a strong willed, determined, minority to escape his culture and capture the American Dream.

I highly admire those who are successful and feel sorry for those who get pulled back in but I do not have any guilt feelings as my Scottish ancestors came to this country as indentured servants.
