[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 3447171, member: 65823"] " I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.'' -- MLK Who has not seen discrimination whether it be filling blue or white collar jobs based on skin color or your sex? I drove casual for 3 years. There was a white woman and a black man doing the same thing. They made seniority before I did. It was not because they were doing a better job. A minority quota had to be filled. The white woman made it to 25 and out, but was fired several times and was saved thanks to the Teamsters. The black man was fired in less than 5 years, not to return. They could not save him. More breaks were given to both of them. More than any white guy ever got in my 30 years. None of this bothered me. There is not a racial bone in my body. I accepted these things as just the way it is, but it is the exact opposite of Dr. King's desire based on just my sheltered life experience. Racism, hate, bigotry, and discrimination at every angle is everywhere. The world owes nothing to anyone based on skin. Character is what its all about. Our society does not appeal to that fact. The blinders are always on, whether forced or not. When I leave the planet, it will still be a dream. [/QUOTE]
