I must admit it is, but...
1) I appologise at any undo offense taken.
2)These statements weren't neccesarily intended to slap all persons of a group in the face. My main point was that this individual had made some pretty rediculous statements lumping all white people together. I truely don't intend to lable a group with specific stereotypes. I find the irony that the comments in the post i was responding to display the same characteristics, that when made by a white person are considered racist and outlandish.
I am prone to type o's, sorry about that.
I mean no offense by my statements. They were made, half in gest to show the ignorance of that poster.
2. I am tired of the assumption by many, that all white people have a golden spoon in their mouth at birth. I have stated here before that I grew up in the poorest county in Iowa as a farmer. No one in my family has ever been given anything. I have worked from an early age for anything and everything that I have including the loans for my college education that I will be paying for the next 10 years.
I really meant no offense, I just get tired of on one hand being told(and do) to respect others and not stereotype people only to be thrown into a category by those same people.
My intentions aren't to come off as a hill billy racist, because I'm not....though a rural back ground and a bit of a drawl may lead to that conclusion by those that don't understand MY back ground.
I have been raised to earn my keep, and I only wish more people would do the same...black, white, red or green.
