The Rwandan genocide was set off by talk radio broadcasting calls for violence. The closest thing we have to that is Randi Rhoades who keeps "joking" about Pres. Bush being killed.

Re black colleges. This is about an imbalance of power. White men still rule this country, head more than 95% of all Fortune 500 companies, occupy more seats in Congress and are the only people who have ever occupied the WH and many other powerful offices. I see.. I've heard this argument before... So that means when Whites are a minority in this country, they can have "White Colleges"?? Btw, are hispanics considered "Caucasians/whites" or do they get their own category as well? Whatever happened to promoting a balance of HONEST AND COMPETENT PEOPLE, no matter what their color? Maybe the problem really isn't their color (there was considerable support for Colin Powell and most people respect Condie Rice). Maybe it's the ideological beliefs they hold? Claiming they are "special" and "downtrodden" doesn't sell very well to the rest of us (and our immigrant forebears) who weren't cut any special deals. It certainly doesn't cut any slack with me, since my father grew up dirt poor on a small strawberry farm, with 13 brothers and sisters (Grandpa was into cheap farm labor and obviously not given to birth control). He certainly didn't have many people thinking he was "powerful" and he had to scratch and scrape for every penny he earned.. And he earned every penny. We were NEVER on welfare, and being self-employed in construction, he didn't have unemployment. If he didn't work, we starved.. And we never starved. Hawk
