Are you serious? You hold Personal Accounts as proof of something?
What if I get 10 people to register on this list that have accounts of being discriminated against in the work place, of not being admitted to University where AA was removed at a state level because they were a minority? Where would that leave the debate? It's pointless and a total non sequitur to introduce 'personal accounts' in this case as some sort of ultimate proof of anything. I hope you realise too that my two situations, the walmart and the other one were contrived specifically to prove the above point. I also hope you understand the sarcasm and irony in my reposting the statement back at Phil about being held down. That too was to prove a point. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz Thank you. You've just proven the point that people have been making on the side. You're not in America. You're yelling about racism in America based on statistics and reports while people are refuting these (to a large extent) based on personal accounts. And I especially love your last comment on "you're only holding yourself down". Why does this statement only apply to white people? Because you feel that white people (me) are holding minorities (not you, your not American) down? Can't it be that some minorities are holding themselves down? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145005 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
