Well, I really don't know you Albert so I can't agree to any such thing ( ), however you are correct in assuming there are random variables in life that can dramatically change things in an instant. However, that's why you leave the 'hood and move to the 'burbs - to lessen the chance of certain random variables (like crime).

they dont want them that way.

Man are you clueless Speer!

che:

Actually, you are. You are dismissing the importance of history, ethnicity, and race in people's lives, and defining American as the only true American, instead of realizing that what makes our country special is our inclusion of others, rather than the exclusion which you would like to create.

Funny...i said something about a 'melting pot' earlier. Labels segrigate, no way around it. I think maybe you are the racist by needing the label.

melting pot is antithetical to diversity

chegitz, stop playing... you know very well that most black people in the us don't give a damn about africa. the classic response to repatriation is "Why the hell would I want to go to Africa? I got nothing over there"

Believing that one has ties to African and repatriation are two totally different things. Do you think Italian-Americans want to go back to Italy, just because we feel a tie to it?

Actually plenty of Italian Americans want to go and see the mother country.

Yeah, to take some pictures, get some souveniers, drink some wine, and come back home to the US of A.

You want everything in your melting pot to be the same. Labels only segregate if you have a problem with people being different. If you can't handle diversity, there's a compound in Northern Idaho for others like you.

Well I think that is what Speer is talking about when he says the blacks in his community don't want to go see Africa.

That is not the same thing as repatration and you know it. I want to see Italy, but I don't want to live there. There are lots of African-Americans who want to travel in Africa and see it too. Doesn't mean they want to live there.

Sorry, driveby post. I never intended to get sucked into this ****ing mess thread.

Carry on.

I doubt there are many Appalchian whites who want to go see Scotland. I think it has more to do with being low class than being Black or white.

Do they call themselves Scotch-Americans?

Plenty of lower class ethnic Italians want to go to the homeland to visit.

Say, if I'm a cross-burning, ******-bashing KKK'er, isn't it better that I call "people with large amounts off melanine in their skin" ******s? Atleast "p-w-l-a-o-m-i-t-s" may take caution after talking to me for awhile... If I'm PC, I can hang around them without them ever figuring me for what I am... And then strike!

("I" and "me" being figures of speech, I don't know enough different "races" to be bigotet towards any single group. General dislike of all people aside. And prejudiced I am too. Trust no-one, as Mulder put it. )

Blah blah, I think there are more important things in world than the way people call eachother?

You mean you wouldn't like the government to change every seven months?
