Economic success in this country has very little to do with race, there are no groups of white folk holding down
people of color, no matter what Jesse Jackson says.


I think you might consider a retraction of the above statement, kb. Whether or not the general public or media acknowledges the realities of today's world, racism exists in America. It's nasty face shows itself all to often. While the bulk of this occurs in the south, the north has it's moments as well. I've seen it first hand many times. In black, white and asian communities. It's usually targeted against anyone who is perceived as an outsider. Those people who rise above these downward pressures and excel deserve all the credit in the world but racism is rampant in America.

It's a sad but true situation in today's real world.

Oh, and one other thing, how dare you put down my favorite jukebox tune<vbg>!! Theirs is not the inheritance of Saturday nights at a speakeasy with "Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer" on the
