And why shouldn't it be the first thing to cross his mind or any white mans'? When you have unequal government advantages that can be taken advantge of by one group and not another it is only natural to think that way. In fact- you would be stupid not to assume it. Sorry if that offends your sensibilities but perhaps you should blame the unequal and immoral policies that allow people to assume such things.

I don't think so!

What you have just stated, in essence, is the antithesis of the conservative stance. You hold INDIVIDUALS responsible for THEIR OWN actions. Conservatives neither rely on the group, or blame the group. That's the theory, anyway.

And you can keep your "apology." You can't play a playa, paht-nah. Besides, there is no need to apologize. In fact, I thank you for saying what you have said.

THANK YOU!
