> * minorities in power are going to discriminate against us (white > males) for the sins of our fathers. 1. There was once a time where Jews were big in the civil rights movement, even to the point of being a major force. There are many who feel that the Jews were turned on for no reason once the movement gained strength. I'm sure other examples can be found, but is there any basis for the fear? Some think so for one reason or another. 2. How about the generalization that all whites are guilty, no matter their history. Get whitey is something I remember from 70's. Not get some specific descendant of a slave owner. Get some immigrant with light skin because he's white and whites are guilty.

How much of the countries assets are actually owned by non-whites, especially non-white governments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
