July 03, 2003: This is a great book. Some Whites need to understand that they are no better than anyone else. You can't steal, transplant, miseducate and deny equality to other nationalities and expect them to just get in where they fit in. Europeans established this country because they didn't want to be peasants and ostracized from their culture. They wanted freedom, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What impudence it takes to oppress others into the same circumstance that so many of our mothers and fathers shed blood for! I can understand if an individual doesn't mind slaving or doesn't seek to have abundance, but many people want to live a happy life and don't need the political war games that separate and oppress at every level. Skin color is so freakin' petty as means to judge a person. Nobody has a right to judge anything, but if we're gonna judge something, let's judge the moral rights and wrongs of individuals, not their appearances. People don't have to tolerate the superficiality of racism. It seems that the Ice Age may be partially responsible for some of the reactions of many Caucasions. The need to conquer the land so that it never conquers him again is a genetic pattern and quite understandable. We know the whys and the hows, so what needs to be done now is exactly what God tells us to do: understand, keep the peace and let a racist think he's running things. My ladies know what I'm talking about:)That's how we keep you men in check! In any case, please read this book if you want to gain a third eye into ignorant, insecure racists. The author is brilliant!
