Subject: RE: BS: Dehumanisation as a political tool
I betcha blacks would disagree with you, Bobert. That was simutaneoulsy condescending and assuming.

What price have you paid to the Bush administration that qualifies you for such a statement? Have you been enslaved and not allowed to leave your home? Have you had your family ripped from you? Have you been denied a vote? Have you had a cross burned in your front yard? Have you been denied a job because of the color of your skin? Ridden in the back of a bus? Drank from a different water fountain? Sat in the back of a theatre? Had to eat in a different restaurant?

You don't qualify for martyrdom just because you think you do.
