i just finished reading the other thread about the nascar subject-why does race(no pun iintended)always have to come into play w/any subject? Why doesn't Jesse Jackson get employment -the man has too much time on his hands-
some people seem to just look for anything no matter how minute(sp?) it is-when is something/somebody going to be judged by abilty & knowledge instead of the color of their skin
I'm tired of tests and standards being lowered just because a few different races can't meet the grade-i took phyisology & antaomy in college and don't remember anything being discussed that the color of the skin had anything to do with the brain UNLESS the parent of that little person did not take care of themselves and what i mean by that b4 anyone starts on society -i mean took drugs,pills, etc..
I'm tired of our children not being pushed to their best of ability becasue the school board, government, whatever feel that it's not right -let's find the child's weakness & work on it instead of trying to make it easy for them
I see my dd struggle with some things and i know i can make it easier for her but i won't -i'm not always going to be there to save her or her brother
ANd finally no i'm not going to say some of my best friends are of a different race-cause they are not-i have friends that are of a different race-i am basicallya loner always have been-but i can say that i do respect and admire some people of a different race -i admire that they didn't take no as an answer, did the best of their ability and got to where they are today. we belong to an hmo insurance-there has been times when our pcp was of a different race and you know what i would take them any day over some of the other doctors,nurses of my race
i don't know if i am making any sense at this moment-i'm just tired of all this fighting of people saying they are not getting treated fairly (yes they are some legit complaints)but because you didn't get something think outside race-think about about yor attitude, mannerisms, and would you want to be treateed in the way that you treat others---i will be flamed but what the heck-won't be the first & certainly not the last :confused:
