Bell I understand where your coming from I agree but there is one thing you have wrong. A lot of Indians were slaughtered for there land.

Well bell , I would be hell pressed to disagree on anything that you've said . Great post . Tall , you sharpening those arrows ? :-)

Indeed. My family came to this country in the early 1900's. My bloodline has never had anything to do with racism or oppression in any way but I'll get piled in with the rest of the white people. I have a speech impairment and have been discriminated against because of it, fired from a job I had. I know this because I had a friend who was working there and the manager who fired me told him that was the reason. I had another job at a liquor store working in the back. The owner had actually offered me a position working up front instead of in the back as a cashier. I said yes, and he said after Christmas. Then it was the summer. Then it again was after Christmas. Bottom line is that it never happened and he had hired cashiers in those time periods. Never had confirmation of discrimination, but I always suspected.

I don't sue, I don't BLEEP (that often), I just better myself. Bell is right. We can either whine about how it used to happen and how it sometimes happens still today, or we can lead by example and get over it, we can learn from it and move forward.

I think it is so wrong for any to think just because, a person is brown he is automatically a mexican. Or just because, someone has white skin, he is a white American..etc.

I always take the time to ask everyone I have some type of interest in..What background are you.

I noticed surprised expressions when I ask that question.

I think that everyone should ask "what background are you".
