why do you need to put words in my mouth? inever said that any other culture has suffered more than blacks, my point was that suffering is a worldwide phenomenon caused by hate, igrnorance, racism, greed, etc. i don't disagree with anything that's been said about black people suffering. i can try to understand it, but i know i never will like a black person. my point was, if you even read my post, was that racism gets us nowhere, no matter which direction it is coming from.<P>ASALAAM ALAYKUM<BR>heaven<P>"self preservation is a full-time occupation..." ani
