Ted Re...How do you know? Look at me. I overcame any racist tendencies I maight have had through simple greed. I am sure if you put your mind to it, you could also overcome yours. The army has gotten rid of racism through strict discipline and hard work. Quit babying them, and they will start living up to your expectations. It doesn't take exceptional people, just people who accept responsibility and have a desire to be something, and are willing to work for it. If I am hearing you correctly, you think overcoming racism that is perpetrated against you is as easy as overcoming your own racist tendencies. I am unclear how you can compare the two. The former requires overcoming significant formal and informal barriers put up by the predominate race; the latter is coming to grips with your own personal biases. In my mind, there is a big difference between the two. They can? Maybe in WI but not in other places. Just for the record, MN and WI are definitely very different than other places. Racism in those states is not what it is in other states. So that is your problem, Wa is full of hard core racists. Frankly, I thought you were regular people, like us. Sorry, I didn't know. No, I wasn't referring to WA state. You do know there are more states in the union besides WA, WI and MN. At last count, there was a total of 50. <g> ted
