Quite honestly, if you were running for office against a white person I would weigh your qualifications equally and vote for the better candidate. I would not vote for you just because you are not "white" or whatever.
I'm just saying that we need MORE people to choose from. And with more representation comes more voters "out of the woodwork" and things get better. But yea, I do think that if there was more equality we'd have a better world. PEace.

As probably the only non-white person on this forum, I have to chuckle at the naivete of the typical white liberal. Does this mean you'd vote for me if I ran for political office just because I'm Sioux? Afterall, it would go a long way towards your goal to "repair the imbalance of the white power structure?" I can't wait to tell my fellow Indian and black republican friends that we've got an "in." LOL.
