SDB,

Thnak you for your response. Allow me….

Race has nothing to do with this.

It never has.

It is a matter of personal responsibility.

Understanding that removes the barriers.

Agitators have no place when there is no race.

You will be able to see that when you let go of your own racism.

First you have to be able to admit you have that in your own personality. Then you have to be willing to change it and always remember that it’s there. And…. do that regardless of what anyone else does.

After which time, you will find it easier and easier to see things in a non racial view that are historically treated as such. It focuses the bigger picture dramatically

You will come to realize that the very things that are demanded to be seen and accepted as being different are what divides all of us rather than unites.

Here is a easy way to start on that path. Pay attention to every time that someone uses a hyponated American description of themselves. It is the cornerstone of ‘PC’ speak.

For example, ‘African American’. Compare that to ‘American who happens to be black.’ Now which of those 2 is diviseive and which one is inclusive and unifying? In terms of descriptive reasoning, black is complete. So is white or asian. The rest are varied mixtures, at least from a dna stand.

By confronting the notion that one is something else before being an American, you remove the division that is the very power base of those who seek to exploit that misconception and use that for personal gain. Being racsist is wrong, discrininating against, or for, a behavior is not. You, as an American, have a right to have an opinion about the choices that others make.

To follow your example, what would the reaction be if your example of jesse jackson showed up shouting “We are all Americans and we all have a responsibility to pull our own weight!” ?…..

Rights come from being Americans, that’s it. Rights come with responsibilities as well. Race has nothing to do with that. It did, it’s done and the only way to get past that is to rid the world of one less racist.

The only one you can do something about is the one in the mirror.

The rest you have to encourage and understand that people will only deal with something when they are ready to.

But never let it go by without being pointed out. That goes for race, religion what ever.

Now for those out there who demand to be recognized for the heritage, then stick to the facts. A continent does not a race make, neither does your choice in religion. When was the last time you heard of someone in the media being referred to as a Catholic American?

Now the center of the story is about others making choices for others ‘for thier own good’.

Everyone who is in a position to make choices should be able to do so.

You have the right to eat where ever you want. No one under law is denied entry as long as a base line of behavior is followed, you have enough $, you don’t engage in activities that the owners find disruptive to the establishment and your personal appearance is in sync with the esatblishment. Race is not a factor in that.

You have a responsibility to eat as healthy as you can. If no one ate crap, there would’nt be any crap stands.

If you want to take back our America, then stop letting them divide it. But it means that you have to be able to recognize that racism does not discriminate. Elitism does and that’s were the power to do so comes from
