TAMMYTALES,
You are correct! And it is very evident that I must be vigiliant and not allow you the opportunity to continue on your "white" privileged past at the my expense!

Twodog,
You make two very glaring and irresponsible assumptions: 1) That I hate George Bush. 2) that George Bush has any solutions to the problems that he created! Have you really sat down and thought: Hmmmmmmmm. We didn't have these problems before George Bush!

Calm Down, You'll Enjoy A More Harmonious Outcome
I understand you hate George Bush; you guys take every available opportunity to make your point. Okay, you hate him. You want him out, gone, impeached, in jail, in front of a firing squad, stop, please. Where is your alternative? How would you do a better job? What will you do, specifically, when the next terrorist attack occurs? How will you secure our boarders? How are you going to pay the health and welfare cost of a rapidly growing illegal immigrant population? What would you do to improve public education? Come one, stow the rhetoric, convince me, what would you do?

TIMMYTALES,
Whitey is the cause! And must at some point be held accountable for the carnage!

Why is it "WHITEY" that is used as an excuse for failure?

No matter how much time passes - people are only comfortable clinging to the past. For clinging to what has been - takes the focus and the responsibility of what can be.

Twodog,
This is not about who can take credit for the greater injustice. I am tired of that old crutch! That we are responisible for the our inactions while ole "Whitey" is not responsible for his actions. That is too convenient, it allows him to pass injustice from generation to generation. While we continue to chase our tails! You see a man on welfare or homeless and I see a man that they won't hire! Does not meet the "profile". Ever heard that word? People can only take control of things within their reach.
The basics required for food and shelter should be within the reach of all! Without prejudice!

Yep, It's All The White Man's Fault.
This Red Man, and my ancestors, have as much, or more to say about the "White Man's" brutality than most. And, sadly, the American Aborginie still uses that crutch to excuse rampant substance abuse, one parent households, un-employment, domestic violence, school dropouts, the list just goes on and on.
If the Brown race, black, red, yellow, continues to blame the "White Man" for all our faults and falures, we, the folks of color in the Nation, will only continue our downward spiral.
Bill Cosby is villivied by his own people for telling a simple truth. It's our fault, not the White Mans. We live under a document that guarntees certain God given rights, and we, the minorities are too lasy to stand on our own two feet, except responsibility for our own short comings, get an education, work hard, and succeed on our own merits. Please, find someone, or something else to blame once in a while, like ourselves.
