I am young, female and white, so it is possible few here or anywhere will have much interest in my opinion.
In reply to Carnage2011, the short answer is I agree. But I could also complain that you are beating up on a girl who was taken advantage of by 4 different men. But I dont believe that. I believe she has to take responsibility for her actions. And I would also have a hard time taking life advise from her.
I also agree with what April said in her post. With all th programs out there today, if someone really wants an education and a job, they can make it happen.
Handlebar : Maybe. Example: Teddy monument went up in 1939 or over 80 years ago and it must be removed because it is offensive. Kimmel makes sexually suggestive remarks about a 15 yr old girl and used the N work in his songs while wearing "black face". But his show has not been cancelled and he will host the Emmy's because ---" His actions and remarks were over 25 years ago" Some of those who are giving Kimmel a pass are the same ones who are outraged and support the removal of Teddy.
I was also told by my grandfather that the phraseology you used made him remember an old movie, Alamo with John Wayne. I have not seen it, but apparently Wayne said something about people getting their ox gored in that movie
April, I read an article about the concentration camps in Poland. I would imagine those places would be hard to visit, especially for anyone who might have been there when they were a child. I saw Ben Lamb's post about FDR and a picture of what I think was an Internment camp for the Japanese during WW II. Sad, but not quite the same as the Concentration camps that the Jewish people were forced to live in.
In West Texas we lived, worked, partied, hunted, rodeoed, school, everything, among many with Hispanic heritage, without issues-- either way---- so I know different heritages can live together without issues. We, like everyone else, had problems with some individuals, but it had nothing to do with race.
