if you doubt white people have culture, read some Coleridge, the English poet - he transcended all, much like Saul does. I understand the anger and the reason behind it, just please don't tar me with the brush of my ignorant heritage. out of the darkest and most violent past grow cultures - and they are defined by their rejection of what came before.

Yes I am ashamed to be white, but we are fighting back, against our history - please don't belittle us for trying.

Actually you've already distinguished yourself form the common white man by simply texting an articulate argument.

But racism is something you cant understand.

[arabiangamefreak]

Well, On that note, the government is designed for the people. The corruption plaguing it is what makes it like a s pecial organization. That's what makes it unfair, the abuse of power.

[RiotersBlock]

Actually, Keilyngodson is half right in the sense that government serves to benefit the few over the many; the idea of 'Government of the people' is a fiction. Government is an organisation run for the benefit of a special club, and, generally, you're not in it. He is wrong in that the thirst for privilege, power and benefit at the expense of others is not bound to distinctions of race, but is something that occurs everywhere you find the institution of coercive government.

[RiotersBlock]

White people aren't 'my people'. I was made that way, to be sure. You speak truth when you say that being white was merely the way I turned out. And this is my position. I am the son of an immigrant, born into a family of peasants and labourers; it has all been the work of chance. Many people who are white are ignorant. But do not lump me in with them. I did not choose them and I do not share many values, thoughts or ideas with many 'white people'. 'My people' are not 'white people'.

Yes all whites are racists :) (sarcasm)
