I don't see where further exchange would be productive, stasu1213. We are obviously too polarized in our life experiences and points of view. I'm not finding your posts enlightening, but shrill and not very coherent. I'd like to understand your point of view, but you're not making that easy, and you're right, I am busy. This conversation has run its course.
To everyone else...
So I've learned a lot over the past few days about what some people in this region think about race. I'm glad that I posted, and although I may disagree with some of the posts here, I think that the conversation has been productive. I'm just happy that it didn't degenerate into flame throwing and name calling. In the 7 years that I've been on DYes, I've definitely seen that happen. Good for the forum. This region is growing up, and I remain very hopeful.
For the sake of time, I think I'll exit this thread and let it run its course -- anyone can feel free to PM me with their thoughts, concerns, and bones to pick.
