I am sorry you are dissappointed in my feelings. They are mine not yours. It is a good thing that we live in a free country so that we all can have our own thoughts on the matter.
I personally do not think I owe ANYONE an apology unless it is something that *I* did to them.
My ancestors had NOTHING to do with slavery or the displacing the Indians or most anything in this country. On both sides of my family it was my great grandparents who came to this country. None of them believed in segregation based on color or religion or any other reason for that matter. As a matter of fact my father was the only one who dared to be racist. He lost his family over it and *I* was taught by my mother and my grandparents what the real world was like and why we should not be that way.
I have many close friends that are of many different races and religions. I do not look at them differently and they do not act differently. Why should I treat any of them differently or apologize to them for something *I* did not do?
It is time people took responsibility for their own actions and not blaming it on thier race or their religion. The race card does not work for me because *I* am not racist. Anyone that uses the race card best make sure that it was racism that caused the problem and not their attitude or something they did first.
I agree that there is a lot of racism in the world. Especially still in this country. However, my point is, EVERYONE is offered a FREE PUBLIC education. It is up to them what they do with it. If you quit school, you do not have the opportunity for a better paying job. My son knows this because he is raising a family on a minimum wage job. He has to have help from the government. The other son has his diploma and he has a much better paying job and can afford to support his family. It is up to YOU what you do with your education that was freely given. If you make good enough grades you can go on to college with almost no money. Otherise get a school loan and get your degree so you can have a better job.
