you can call it divisive. I call it a realistic look at where we've been and where we are. I'm not perpetuating the problem...I'm trying to put it into perspective. If you want to talk about divisive cultural wars, take a look at pieces like the one that started this thread. "Angry White Man." Yeah, that's all about putting it behind us...

My point is that you can't move forward unless you understand where you've been and how you got here. Seems that some people have woken up and said, "hey, this is unfair!" I'm just trying to give some perspective. You can disagree with my take on it, but you'd be hard pressed to find any cultural anthropologist who would tell you that white males have not been a privileged class in this country and have in general reaped benefits relative to immigrants/minorities/women soley based on their sex and skin color.

And because it happens in other countries doesn't make it right. Take a look at how ethnic Chinese are treated by the Hans.

How we move forward is indeed the $64 question. But whiners that spray the "angry white man" drivel are in fact perpetuating the problem imho. *That* is an opinion, and you're free to disagree with it
