How stupid can someone get? Have they forgotten about all of the other Nationalities that were forced into slave labor? The Chinese slaves laid the train tracks across our country! They were treated just as poorly as the black slaves! But the Chinese aren't STILL whining about how their ancestors were driven into slavery. wah wah wah. Get over it.

If you take that line of thinking and put it another way... you can conceivably say that I'm fat because my ancestors fled Ireland during the Potato Famine and I feel the deep seated need to eat since food is available to me. C'mon! I'm fat because I eat too much food and not enough exercise! I made me this way... not my subconcious mind remembering how hard my great-great somebody had on the farm! OOoooo.. is that why I get sea-sick too? Remembering the terrible voyage over here?

As for the mumbo-jumbo that blacks are still oppressed and haven't gotten over the trauma after all those generations... thats not MY fault they are too darn lazy to take advantage of all the programs in place to help them move forward in life. Look at colleges - they're practically giving away positions to minorities while my children have to basically beg their way into a college. Yet, I see my husband's students time and time again not do their work and then blame blame blame everybody else for why its not done. He has told me that nearly half the kids in his 6th grade classes will not graduate highschool. Why? Because they won't work. When grade time rolls around, parents come storming in to ask why their son is being oppressed by racist teachers, he and the other teacher have to find a politically correct way to say their kid is a lazy bum. He'd love to tell the kid, "Get off your butt, turn off the TV and read the book!"
