Being non-white and non-black myself.....I have to say, that article pretty much sums up my observation over the past several years.

If people want equality, they gotta look it at from each other\'s point of view. I know Jesse Jackson would be calling for a massive protest if there was a White Entertainment Channel.

This article didn\'t tell me anything I didn\'t already know, I\'ve said it a thousand times, blacks are more racist than whites.

like the three white firemen who raised the U.S. flag at ground zero -- we understand you have to change two of the guys\' race to nonwhite when you want to build the statue. Who wants three White Guys hanging around forever?

What what what???  I never heard of there being a race change to that statue.  I won\'t visit the damned thing if doesn\'t correctly portray history, even for this little characteristic.

:o

When I went to apply for scholarships for college, there were dozens of scholarships that required you to be African-American, Native American, Hispanic, etc.  Anyone want to wager a guess on how many scholarships they were giving out to White people?

Haha, that\'s awesome.  Sorry I missed that.

But yea, the fact that they even entertained that thought is just stupid.  If they wanted to make something new then they could do that, but to try to symbolize the impact of those fireman while still cha... Aw hell it\'s just dumb.
