"The way women are treated, as breeders of children...and not as full human beings".....wow, THANK YOU for that! As a woman, I cannot express to you my appreciation to include the challenges that we face, as women. I enjoyed the entire speech, he is 100% correct about everything he says, but am extremely grateful for the words he said in support of women....for hm including women. Thank you.

I recently heard Dix speak at my college and I agree with some of his views while I feel others are very extreme. As i look at some of the comments left by many people i can see that racism goes both ways and it is very hurtful how us as human beings can turn against one another over the color of our skin. There is much ignorance in this world that is passed on from one generation to another, both equally white and black.

Today, most people value money over virtue, hate over acceptance, and taking the easy street over hard work. It is true that it is harder to make it in this world with little resources and it is your environment that shapes you as an individual but here in America everyone is given an opportunity to succeed

It is easy to blame someone else for your difficulties but it takes a bigger man to look into oneself and see your own faults. Poverty does lead to crime all over the world, thats a fact. The key to changing our society is education and a strong moral system from the parents to the children.

Todays culture has taken for granted the freedoms that we are all offered and instead want to live in the past and point fingers. I am currently enrolled in college and thankfully have full financial aid. I know that educating myself is the best thing I can do for myself and to always keep an open mind. Please stop the hate and lets move towards a society where no one is judged by their race but by their character.

When you give the Native Americans their land back and move to Europe I will leave America. Mexicans have more right to be here than "white supremacist scum", at least their from the same continent.
