I could not agree more. Not only have these groups asked for separate treatment, but they also have noted that we are not allowed to bask in the glory. If whites were to have their own channel, the effects would be devastating. We would be painted in white robes, posting burning crosses on people's lawns. Yet, when I watch the reruns of a recent Saturday Night Live episode, I am hurt to see Chris Rock insulting not only whites, but other minorities.
Reverse racism is just as much a problem now as it was with our ancestors many years ago.
On that, I conclude by saying let the past go and quit the name-calling. My heritage German, but I am not called a German American. Let us not worry about the past and instead focus our attention on uniting as one power heading into the future. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board. All rights reserved.
