A. What a huge waste of time for our Congress, uh? With all of the serious and pressing issues we face today, and they are drumming up more racial strife for no reason and wasting tax payer money on senseless bills like this.

Confessions of an honest black american?
Q. My distant cousins in African live in abject poverty, are surrounded by political corruption and exist in a perennial state of health crisis due to AIDS and other endemic diseases. Yet here am I as black as they enjoying the comfort of my modest American home, the owner of two automobiles, and access to the most advanced health care system ever known. Why the difference? It can be summed in simple observation: My African kin are the living legacy of our African heritage. I, on the other hand, am the beneficiary of Western European culture. Granted, that observation smacks of racial betrayal. But it is also a matter of reality. White people, once free from the medieval madness of feudalism, applied themselves to industry and, having… [cont.]

A. :) I like your rant... and I wanted to say so even though I am white. I've never mistreated anyone for their race and I most certainly don't make 50,000 a year but I think that everyone came from another country somewhere in their ancestry and that we should all just be proud to be here in America. No matter what the economy is like or who is running our country or weather or not you did or didn't get what you wanted for Christmas, we have it a lot better then most people in other countries.

why is nobody protesting against racism in South Africa?
Q. when the white tribe was in power(most come from families that settled there in the 16 000 like America) the world went mad about the social injustices, now its black on black all the anti apartheid protesters are silent, search any south african newspaper to read about xenophobia and racism in Johannesburg. the english are not complaining or reaping anything that they have sown, just witnessing in the news vicious attacks and rapes being committed by racists who are "rainbow nation" new south africans

A. For years all the injustice in SA was placed squarely on the whites shoulders... Apartheid is dead and has been for years... yet it is still being blamed for the problems in SA. Nobody wants to face the fact that the current ANC government has been lying to their people for years... this is the price they are paying for it. It is about time the world saw what SA is REALLY like. South Africa is a dangerous and violent place. If you don't live or have not lived in SA during the past 15 years you DON'T understand the social problems the country has. Even now the government is doing NOTHING but talking. Talking about the problem is NOT going to resolve it. They need to start sorting things out and delivering what they promised to their people… [cont.]

Do you ask the same question about all the other countries who have merchant sailors held hostage by criminals? I think not. Sounds a bit like Yank bashing to me. Well my take on it anyway.

A. Put a period after "age" in your first sentence--begin another senticence with "rich" and a comma after "corrupt." Spell out "first;" Insert a semicolon after "building". Put a period after "themes" and begin a new sentence. 2nd paragraph: I assume the commas before the next words are just typos in asking the question. Next-to-last paragraph: Period after Rhod Island. Begin new sentence with Volunteers (And, why did you change from past to present tense--shouldn't you be consistent?) Which would probably have changed the world as we know it--I'm not sure what your "which" refers to.

And as a note, you might mention such methods can only work in an open society where such tactics can recieve public notice, and where the population has the moral background to recognise the virtues of such tactics.
