Right, nor should it - I'm just saying the guy is unlikely to be fired, sadly.

Wow. Dude, seriously. Take a fuckin' pill.

I hope so, but I kinda doubt it. I lived in the area for a little over a year (about a year and a half, really) and saw much much worst from the Post-Dispair. My ex went to school there (Parks College) and lived there for many years and used to tell me stories. I really do hope you are right and that they have to can his sorry ass.

I replied to his follow on. I told him that from on I would use the word "Kurt" in place of the word C***, since clearly, he was far more offensive and stupid than that word could ever be.

I used to live in Cahokia, Il. I also used to have to use stltoday.com's now failed internet service. Talking about shudder inducing fail.

That's cool - I wasn't aware of your past history. I have a few friends who fall into that same boat. Makes it make a lot more sense to me now.

And I'm freaked out a bit that Tom does care...

Thanks to me, they don't have to. Thanks to them, their children will have cousins and uncles who can.

No, they'll get into a much better school (in my very not humble opinion) because of my service to my country. Legacy that, bitch.

Yes, I am a jerk. I'm a jerk to people who are wrong. This complete bullshit about "how great it is to drive to work while white" is complete crap. Poor white people get shit on just as much as anyone else, period. You don't know shit about shit. I do. I have worked DAMN FUCKING HARD to get where I am. I'm not "rich" per se, but my children will have the same advantages you do, as will my grandchildren.

Your title is lame. You can choose not to be.

Bullshit.

Bull-fucking-shit.

I come from poor. I come from 'the hood'. I was raised by Mexicans and Black folk.

This whole paper is PURE drivel.

This is RE-fucking-DONK-ulous.

Do you know why history makes it look like white people built this country and made it what it is?

Because white people built this country and made it what it is.

I have really begun to hate this crappy, pseudo apologetics bullshit.

True. I do believe I can be objective though, which is what I was aiming for.

When Theresa kicked me out, I thought my world was over. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but this too shall pass. I know that is cold, cold comfort right now. You are correct in thinking that ONLY you can really understand what you are going through right now. I'm here if you want to talk to a neutral third party with experience in what you're going through.
