Well, no at least for me, because by "we" I meant humanity. That's why homo habilis is extinct: we killed them because they were not like us. Our genes and therefore our biology drive us to discriminate and, given the opportunity, kill. At the same time we'll run across the street to save someone of any color from a burning building. We're full of conflicts. Anyway, America was founded by whitemale and his housemaid wife - religious puritans, right? - who eventually brought over slaves and so began the systemic discrimination and therefore dehumanization of other races. You might be conflating "sins of the father" with "left over system of the father". By definition when as you dismantle the system of the father you're going to make their lives MUCH more difficult. That fuels blame and finger pointing from all sides: "The Man is keeping me down!", "Affirmative Action is keeping me down!" The bottom line is that as wealth and power diversifies, whitemale is going to have to work MUCH harder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
