"But considering that you chastised me for saying that "class" isn't a useful enough distinction, I find it hard to accept 'I just know' as a distinction either."
How about this: In my humble opinion, I think the time has passed. "Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are all about attention seeking. It is like saying that Pat Buchanan represents all white people. I understand that you feel that we are well past the point, but I honestly don't see any evidence of that." I have no problem throwing Pat Buchanan in the group. If he needs to by race neutral policies be marginalized, so be it. "The black middle class *was* growing rapidly. Of course, that was. . ." I'll take your word for it. "Race is a tricky thing to even define in America considering the amount of intermarrying." Exactly. That is why it race shouldn't be a determining factor in the fields we a discussing. Hell, Barrack is called black, but he's half white. Why is he called black? "I blame rap music." Vanilla Ice? J - The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. - Thomas Jefferson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323398 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
