Reply #65: did i mention anything about changing attitudes? [View All]

[noiretextatique]

i did not. i said...i will work to make the playing field level. one way i can do that is by owning my own business and employing people in my community. personally, i don't think any gains have been won by changing attitudes...they have been won with persistence. and along he way...attitudes do get changed. as to the rest...i don't think i need to tell you that the history of african-americans, for example, is not the same as that of japanese-americans, for example...that's just a fact. as horrid as internment was (during WWII and before with immigrants on angel island)...it's not THE SAME as what african-americans, for example, experienced and experience. no matter how much you say it...it will never make it so.
likewise, immigrants coming into this country now don't face the same discrimination that immigrants did, say 150 years ago.

a company that discriminates...will probably not lose a damn thing unless people are made aware of its policies. that's another way to set an example, wouldn't you agree?
