IMO racism is such a joke anymore. In fact, things have flip-flopped a lot. At any university there is an International Students Organization, Japanese Students Association, African-American student program, etc. Now, what if there was a program for white students? That wouldn't go so well, would it? In fact, there was a scholarship started at a Texas school for caucasian students a while back, leading to racism cries from the media. Even though there are scholarships for African-Americans, international students, etc.

In addition, society has reached the point where things have to be "even." If you're hiring six people, two should be white, two should be black, and two should be Asian. It's not about hiring the best people anymore. I'm sure any business owner would agree that it doesn't matter if they hire all white, black, color doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that they get the job done and get it done well. Any owner who would think different, probably won't be in business too long.

In addition, our media divides us more than a lot of people think. Sometimes, I wonder if that is their goal.

Can you say secular humanism? Things like this^ happen when man begins to worship himself. One of the planks from the Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro platform--- "We hereby recognize the dignity of man and his right to pursue happiness including sexual orientation---"

Man has no particular dignity when he seperates himself from the precepts of God. A principle that has clearly manifiested itself during the decades since WWII. Especially now, with a president and cabinet who clearly thinks nothing of lying for sake of party agenda, and a nation generally spiralling out of control, we, as a people, are losing our understanding of which path to take. America was honored to embrace her traditional conservative roots during the dark days of WWII, when the prospect of conquest by a ruthless beast of a man, in the person of Adolf Hitler hung like a cloud over every American. Believe me when I say there is a great gulf fixed between the America of that day and today. We've strayed far from the truth and we are presently paying a steep price for our err. Four more years of distancing ourselves from our own history of glorious success and blessing, or continue our move to get in line with Germany, France, Italy, and the rest of the European nations. No offense to our neighbors overseas but, why would we 'voluntarily' stoop so far? And who really is this community organizer we're all following seemingly without the courage to just turn around and return to familar and friendly origins?
