Re: Comments on the Akaka Bill?
Miulang, your logic reminds me of a moebius strip. In the same sentence you say that I am in the majority, AND not in the majority. You are so fun. So if I'm not the majority in Hawaii, do I qualify for some special program based on my freckled skin color?
Racism exists in YOUR life a lot more than mine. Racism exists a lot more in Hawaii than in SF Bay Area. Racism is slowly dying as the races interbreed in our modern age of jet travel. Racism is a tool that the ignorant use to deflect criticism. Racism is imaginary, and intentionally taught to children, so as to pass it on from generation to generation. Teaching children to be racists is child abuse, and should be dealt with by CPS. Racism is rooted in ego-mania. Strom Thurmond used the same arguments 50 years ago against black folks that some people use today to justify entitlement.
Times change. Some people don't. At least Thurmond softened in his old age.
As far as school goes, my daughter is doing better than many of her classmates. It's a testament to the long hours spent reading, and playing math games with her over the last 4 years. I do teach my daughter to have high self esteem, rooted in accomplishment and merit. She has no sense of entitlement, and certainly none of the negative energy associated with racism.
