[isp-marketing] RE: OT: photographing white supremacists

["Michael J. Koonce" <ispowner@...]

Hmm, I think that it is wrong to say you are an xyz-American. You are either
an American, or you are a Foreigner. Period. African American? I would
almost guarantee, that almost every "African American" that uses that term
DID NOT come directly from Africa. That is crazy. I am a hmm let me think.
1/8th Cherokee on my Mothers' side of the Family, 1/8th Cherokee on my
Fathers' side also. Austrian. German. So I guess, I should let everyone
know. I am a "American Indian, Austrian, German American" Doesn't that sound
terrible? I think it's a dividing line. Especially in the day we live in
now. I am not prejudice, but I do see differences, not necessarily in
society, but in television. Look at BET "Black Entertainment Television" Can
you imagine WET "White Entertainment Television", or "Arab Entertainment
Television"? All these things do, is simply DIVIDE us. It's the same thing
minorities are crying against. Being divided. Minorities do deserve a fair
chance, but not a hand-out. Well, this is just my opinion, even though it's
right, and I am sure everyone agrees with me!

Have A Happy New Year!
