Me too! LOL

Devon, I unfortunately see this attitude every day. Hubby works for an inner city school and the kids have told him TO HIS FACE that they can't get into trouble because if they did, their parents would scream "racism" and sue the school. My neighrbor tried that last year but didn't even dare try sue my husband because he knows we are far from being rascist!

It makes me mad and sad at the same time. A friend of mine works part time at Target and she's white as white can be, and is completely fluent in Spanish (though doesn't advertise the fact.) She will be working at Target alongside Latino women and listen to their conversations throughout the day. They talk about how much they hate whites, how they can work the system to get everything for free. Its appaling.

To me, its not the color of your skin. I'm starting to become intolerant though... not of skin color, but of attitudes of ethnic people hating ME for being white... blaming ME for their troubles. I've said it once, I'll say it again, blame YOURSELF... study & work hard and you'll have the world by its strings. Sit down and hold your hand out and you'll go nowhere.
