- I am a white male that has spent a good portion of his life
- trying to fight ignorance and hate and to live with my fellow man
- but sometimes it is very diffacult to do when they wont listen.
- I am not rich; I am not affluent; I am not an oppressor to anyone
- and I do not like being called the scourge of society because some-
- things that have been done in the past by people of my skin color & gender.
- If your problem is that you do not like us because ofsomething that
- was done a long time ago or by some idiot then all I can say to you
- is:
- Grow up. Get a life. and stop being one of the problems
- and start helping those of us that want to treat everyone
- for what there are and not what they look like and what they
- believe in.
-
- I know that there are differences between people but I do not dwell
- on them I give people a chance and let them make thier own mistakes
- not give them an unfair advantage because of their skin color.
-
- Stop teaching divisiveness and vicitmization and hate but that
- everyone is different but must be treated equally.

-
- The best way to stop the injustices is not by legislation but through
- economics and by doing well on your own that way you can say that you
- can do it regaurdless of what they say and that you are your own person
- not just some nothing that believes what you are told.
-
- Apperantly you do not understand what your obligation to this society
- is and need to really take a look around and do something on your own
- not just tell someone how morally superior you are because you are a
- down trodden people. Get up and do something.
-
- I am sorry but I never owned anyone and will never own anyone
- so I do not own you anything except the respect that you are
- due as a fellow human, but that has to be earned not legislated.
-
- Elliot, start trying to work at tearing down the walls not rebuild them.
