Colin Powell is a black person who acts like a white person. I think Colin Powell is a person who acts like an American. A true American. Your comment makes it sound like African Americans shouldn't pursue a career that Democrats/Jesse Jackson types don't approve of. Your setting behavior patterns for people now? Maybe you should call Colin and tell him how he should act? In the 1960's and 1970's blacks called people like him an "Oreo" And in 2001 you(Scumbria) want this "Oreo" tag to envelope any black person who doesn't fit your preconceived idea of what "black people" are supposed to be. Do "black people" know that they are supposed to check their lifestyles and political leanings with you before they proceed? Your comments make you out to be a stereotyping bigot Scum. Conservative "black people"? Don't they know their place? How dare they pursue the American dream. Have a good one Scumbria. alan w

Dear dear dear scum >>>>>In the 1960's and 1970's blacks called people like him an "Oreo". Who, show a reference. What position does he hold that makes him think like a black or as a white. scum you have some need to always say the dumbest things that make no point. They seem only to identify some with some pretty dumb beliefs about reality. Any person with common sense and especially any engineer of competence understands how random noise of individual elements of a class never define a property that apply's to the entire class. Common sense and engineering is about being able to see the difference you all have a nice day now hear. tom watson tosiwmee

ROFLOL! I spewed my beverage again! I need that book! I really do. Where can I get that book that tells all about how "black persons act" and how "white persons act"? Maybe it has a list. I want that list, so I can learn to act right around the right people. If it's an African-American that is acting like a "black person", then I should "act" like a "black person", right? Also OK if it's a "white person" that is "acting" like a "black person", then I should "act" like a "black person"? I need to know under what conditions I should alter my behavior based on my skin color or the skin color of the person I am talking to. What if I am talking to someone who is half white and half Korean? Or half Native American and half Philipino? What if he's gay? What if he's gay and dresses like a "black person"? This is so confusing! I'll bet I can guess the title of the book! "Bonehead Racist Nonsense" Has it occurred to you that there might be some people on your stupid lame planet that don't judge another human being based on the color of their skin? Has it ever occurred to you that typing that nonsense exhibits a remarkable lack of understanding regarding the nature of people?
