I will accept your correction, lol. My point was for the person I quoted. The reason certain programs are in place is because people realize that there are individuals that could give to shits of a fuck about minorities. It is sad that in some cases you have to force people to look past your skin for employment, especially when you are well qualified. When I do open my successful business, I don't care who you are. If you can get the job done, thats all that matters.

Even still, I have been around long enough to see that things are still un easy. Whose to say that things can't repeat themselves? There are still people who HATE blacks. Look at stormfront.org. That site has WAYYYY to much activity for anyone to just "let things go".

I love everybody until you give me a reason not to. An asshole is an asshole, pick a color.
thats very true. And i understand that there is a history there that we just cant walk away from. But if people don't try and put it behind us it will never go away and we will never evolve as "one nation under god."

I understand about the parents and grandparents thing, But in the same respect my dad was past over when he was younger b/c companies had to have a certain amount of minorities working there. So again it does go both ways.

I feel you completely. And i understand there is still assholes out there. But we as the new generation have to change our way of thinking and look towards positives and the future. Not bring up the past as it does nothing but hold this nation back.

This is just my . I have plenty of friends of all sorts of races and nationalities. I even have a few buddies that live off memorial drive, they call me there token white friend.
