Wolf,
Why is this an issue. I'm as white as the driven snow, born in 1966. My anscestors came from Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. I don't own any black man decended from Africa shit except a fair shake.
Unfortunately the opposite is not true. Every day I face institutionalized racism call "diversity". If a black man of African decent can't make the grade same as any other man I don't give a fk.
My job is to apply myself and do the best I can for me and my family. There are no 'white' people looking out for me I'm aware of. In fact my skin color is my bain in corporate America.
Instead of this rediculous conversation we should be talking about dismantling "diversity".
I don't know you or your politics and but I do know there is no "boogey man", no "white blue-eyed devil" because I'm white and blue-eyed and I'm certainly not the black man of African decents problem, their mine.
I don't think about reparations because I'm too busy working for a living. I am not giving anyone anything nor expecting anyone to give me anything. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :-)
