I will be honest....I do not know what started this....so I can only
comment based on the information that I have (which is above) and the
impressions that I get from this information.

I am insulted.

I am white.  All my life I have fought against treating people differently
just because of race.  Even so far as to fight against my own family.
To me it just seemed so stupid.  The neighborhood I grew up in was
located where all the various racial neighborhoods met...so there was
plenty of strife to be found.  I attended Texas Southern University
as the only white person in the TSU Ocean of Soul band.  For this I took
great harrassment from both whites and blacks.  Currently I work for
the University of Houston.  One of the great joys of my work is comming
into contact with student workers from all over the world.  I truly enjoy
discovering about their lives and culture.  It is the joy that has brought
me to this newsgroup....as the "Native American" culture has always
fascinated me since childhood.  And one of my closest friends is a native
american who is teaching me their ways and I teach him my (pagan) ways.

Now that you know a little about me.....

Today, I come across the Sister Souljah mentality, where all they want to
do is kill white people because they are white.  I have listened to
radio talk shows where black people slam white people making sweeping 
statements.  Here on alt.native I have heard the voices of "angry young
men" make similar sweeping statements.  

As Barbara Jordan said (paraphrasing) discrimination and bigotry are
wrong no matter what color it comes in.

People should study more the ENTIRE life of Malcolm X and not just the
part they want because it agrees with what they want.

Blessed Be,
Tammy


Kauta,

I can only hope that one day you will understand what I have said, and that
the beauty of life can fill your heart.  For I do not expect you to 
understand.

Tammy
