Jonathan Schell well it sounds like you think that way because you’re prejudiced or am I wrong? Let’s say a Mexican man moves here with his family. Doesn’t speak English or maybe not well. He needs to work so he gets a job doing labor. He works with other Mexicans framing houses let’s say. Then one day he wants to start his own crew because he’s very underpaid by his American boss. Who do you call? Do you call people from your own country that speak your first language? The people that watch the same sports as you and listen to the same music as you? The people with the same values and culture? The people who just like you are here in America trying to make it to support their families? Or do you hire white guys with huge cultural boundaries? - There are plenty of jobs to go around and plenty of interracial businesses out there. Not so sure about “traders”

The ones who push are the ones still trying to hold onto their jobs. You see if they actually show the truth they would be irrelevant and there fore their jobs would be also. ACLU, LBGT, Black Lives Matter are all ngo's but also have an organization structure. They receive funds through donations and fundraising. Those funds help push there functions into society but in large they also pay the people who run them and are employed by them. They have a vested interest in KEEPING THEIR JOBS! From salaries to health care bennies to retirement. People need to wake up and see what some of these organizations are truly about. Its big business. Profiting on false narratives under the guise of social justices. that's the truth. Or at least how I see it.

I became self employed after being put to the back of the employment line by affirmative action. My white privilege doesn’t pay the bills or feed me. All it ever did was stand in the way of getting a decent job working for the company. While highly skilled, I’m just not part of their quotas. I had to go out and sell my skills to my community instead. In my book, affirmative action is institutional racism.

I also believe Privilege is influenced by class and Money.(I've seen Blacks with suits on get approached and questioned by Guards in Shopping Malls before, I've also seen homeless whites get approached in Public places, But never a white in a suit). White privilege does exist, Not to every white, But a Majority.

Affirmative action laws punished all white males while rewarding all minority males and females. Having your job applications always placed on the bottom of the pile (as I was told by those who put them there) was punishing me because my father's generation had it better than most. I worked as an apprentice auto mechanic, mechanic, tow truck driver, semi truck driver, English teacher in South Korea (the only employers that were not using affirmative action) and then I joined the State Police academy and went through some form of boot camp torture to gain that career. I am now retired. If being white was a privilege, it was done in a time that was long before my generation.

Everything I have, and have accomplished is from my own merits and hard work. I had the ultimate privilege and unfair advantage growing up. I was raised in a normal loving family and had a father figure. He is a hard worker. He taught me how to be a man by his example. His hard work gave us a roof over our heads and food on the table. Just seeing how he took responsibility taught me how to live on my own two feet. I had something that a lot of poor youth didn’t have. They don’t have anyone to teach them or give them that confidence that they have the ability to be responsible and be able to provide for themselves.

One time a bull went crazy and tore thru the base housing charging anything and running thru yards, finally got tangled up in someones clothes drying on the line, sedated his huge butt and hauled him off. The time a FlyBoy decided to chase a Moose in his fighter plane and kinda sorta hit a tree... Didn’t kill him, but did kill the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Fighter Jet.

Similarly to you, my "white privilege" was first loving parents who worked lower class jobs to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, and second, a parochial school primary and secondary education (my father worked 3 jobs to afford this privilege). My God-given abilities allowed me to earn a useful BA (Physics & Mathematics) from a state college (cheap in those days so I could earn enough from summer jobs to pay for most of my college expenses) followed by employment with a large engineering firm. I've made many mistakes, two failed marriages for example my, retirement will be meager like many people who live in America today. My personal opinion is that much of the "black disadvantage" comes out of fatherless families as government programs encourage this outcome. Can't replace a loving mom & dad for a good start ...

We are saying that the gov. is using its people as tax slaves when that force upon you an income tax they (the gov ) say you must pay and they say how much you must pay like the mafia running a protection scam the government like the mafia is taking the fruits of your labor by force and under the threat of violence, in the form of if you do not pay them what they want you will end up behind bars !! (But if you are already paying income tax why should you pay anything more just for using the road or say the library) All we are asking is, if you are forced to pay income tax on your on labor and if you are truly the owner of your own personal body and therefore your own personal labor (and if it is a human right to own, controlling and have self-determination over your body intellectual thoughts and labor ) then why (if it truly only belongs to you ) are you being forced to pay income tax for your own personal labor ? And why does someone else have the right to come and take from you the fruits of your labor (through income tax ) is that not a form of slavery? (You work for the fruits and I eat the fruits of your work ) is that not a form of slavery? Abraham Lincoln once said slavery is this .. You work and I eat .. In other words, You work and I take what i want from the fruits of that labor !! teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/speech-at-chicago-illinois/ And should it really be allowed to demanded tax on someone else's personal labor, as taking the fruits (by force ) of someone else's own labor/ work is a form of slavery/serfdom, and is that really a humane and moral thing for society to do in 2018? -- Why should we accept that the state somehow can come to you and say.. You have committed a consensual interaction with a third person / legal entity , in an endeavor to obtain monetary compensation, in return for providing your personal labor, for the purpose of obtaining a wage / employment on a temporary or otherwise bases, which is a profiteering transaction for the purposes of services (work/ labor ) that you have rendered. Therefore we ( the state ) will be at this time liberating parts of those funds from your person, in the form of any amount that we at this time see fit; As we believe the fruits of your personal labor by law belongs (laws we write ) and is the property of the state; therefore we (the state) are entitled to any portion of those funds we feel we need and we demand .. Also for your information we the state will be free to do with those liberated funds as we feel/deem to be necessary to benefit the state and/ or to benefit others we deem to be needy of those funds, regardless of the fact that we or they have not rendered any form of exchange of labor to produce that income that you now have in your possession and on your person. Therefore we are now informing you that we the government believe we are entitled to those funds, you have morally and justifiably obtained in a consenting interaction with 3rd entity for the labor/ service you have provided to that 3rd entity party; We the government believe we have the legal right and moral right to claim ownership of your labor and reap the fruits of your labor, without gaining your explicit consent on the matter at hand because we are the government, therefore, we have the right to live off your personal labor . (In other words, you did some personal work for another person, he paid you for your hard work and labor and we want you to pay us for doing none of that work = YOU work we EAT ) You use your labor, and someone else eats ! or You use your labor, I and my family eats ! or You use your labor, those who control society and their friends eat! or You use your labor, and the slave owner eats the fruits of the labor! The question really is; Do you own your own body and therefore your own labor or are you just the slave, and someone else (the state ) is really the owner of your person, body and therefore your labor and if so is a human-being truly free, if others can use force to give them the fruits or part of those fruits of yours and others labor; just so they themselves (the state ) can eat and benefit from the results of your labor how are you not in a form/ type of slavery or even a modern-day form of serfdom ?? The state today claims the right to have a twisted form of special rights (when it comes to income tax). One can argue that it is, in fact, nothing more than a twisted form of servitude over the citizen's person, it must, therefore, be seen as a form of serfdom or in the worst case a form of slavery. Today the government can come to you like the mafia or like slave-owner (the state ) on a slave plantation (the gov. land) and say we are taking this amount of money from you and this is what YOU WILL PAY to us because have you got money from a 3rd person by utilizing your own intelligence and labor and we want a cut without doing any of that work, And if not we will take action towards your person IS this NOT a form of slavery or even serfdom ? This is the way gov. today forces someone to give the gov, the fruits of his or her labor by using force and threats of violence by threatening warnings of prison and BIG men with guns, that will come and put you behind bars if you don't pay what the gov. tells you to pay them....(threatening is a form of an violent act a psychological violence) Then the question most mow will come with that disagree will be; What about healthcare is that not a right for everyone to be healthy government needs tax to pay for that .. Yes it is a right but a lot of things are a right, you have a right to have food to feed yourself and your household, but not everyone has that now do they, instead the countries governments tax food with VAT from 16 -25 % and they tax medicine as well with VAT from 16 -25 % so government is making money on starving people and sick people and their human rights !!! Yes one can argue that it is a right that is true, but even if it is a human right for everyone to be healthy and everyone to have food, and you like everyone else have that right .. .. YOU STILL DO NOT have the right to forcefully make someone else pay for it, by indirectly stealing there labor at gunpoint demanding part of their paycheck for that work/labor provided to someone else !!!! ... When it comes to healthcare you can and should take up medical insurance to cover that not a problem .. And when it comes to your children using schools well what will happen if you don't send your children to school you get big government sending big men with guns at your door called the police !! saying they will take your children from you and put you in a small room without any windows and lock the door !! Also, let's be truthful the government wants your children in school for 2 basic reasons. 1. You and your spouse then free up time to be productive and work and therefore can pay more in tax and that is why the government wants you to work. 2. Your children is getting educated to become a productive worker and pay income tax and that is why the government forces your children to go to school .. facebook.com/DollarVigilante/videos/1845870118758743/UzpfSTEwMDAyNjUyMzI0NjkxMjoxNDUyNjM3MzMwMzQ0MDE/

PART 1 OF 2 If someone from the 17th century came back to life, he or she would be surprised, most of all, by the means of transport and communication tools we use now. Probably, the most familiar things would be hospitals and schools. Personally, I think that there is something that would very surprise a person from those times even more: the fact that Governments take away individuals’ earnings compulsively. In fact, contrary to what many people think, income tax is a rather recent “invention,” created-in most cases-as an emergency tax to deal with extraordinary expenses, which later survived as a way to finance the growing fiscal deficits of Governments increasingly mismanaged, corrupt, and in debt. We will review two significant examples. United Kingdom After centuries imposing specific, eccentric taxes (e.g. chimney tax, window tax, malt tax, among others), Income Tax was first introduced by William Pitt in the United Kingdom in 1798, and it started to be charged in 1799. The aim was not to finance original expenses of the State but the Napoleonic Wars. At the time, no other country levied a tax over the earnings produced by its citizens. The United States, for example, would only start charging it, intermittently, some 60 years later, and definitively in 1913. The non-taxable minimum in the United Kingdom of the late 1700s would be equivalent to £6,000, and the maximum rate was ten percent. Only local income was susceptible to taxing, which was quite logical. At the time, the malt tax covered approximately ten percent of the Government’s budget. This first version of the Income Tax was in force only for three years, as it was annulled (logically) upon the signing of the Treaty of Amiens. Henry Addington, who had succeeded Pitt in 1801 and had eliminated the tax when the peace with France was signed, reestablished it in 1803 when new difficulties appeared with that country. It was kept in force until the Battle of Waterloo. When the tax was annulled again, every document that referred to it was burnt, due to the sense of shame associated with having established and charged this tax. From 1817 to 1842 there was no Income Tax in the United Kingdom or any other country. Although he criticized the tax during the 1841 campaign, Prime Minister Robert Peel reestablished it in 1841, not to finance a war but to cover the Government’s deficit. This time, the non-taxable minimum was over twice the previous one and the rate was around three percent. The First World War was the perfect excuse to increase the rates. So, they were increased to 17.5 percent in 1915, 25 percent in 1916 and 30 percent in 1918. For context, the only other country with an income tax at the time was the United States, which, as said above, had reestablished it in 1913, with a rate of 1 percent for incomes above $20,000. The system was modernized as years went by, but the rising trend did not slow down, with a notorious record of 99.25 percent (yes, that is correct) during the Second World War. Contrary to what one might believe, in the following two decades there was a minor reduction, but the tax remained over 95 percent. During the 1970s and 1980s there were further decreases, but not very significant. Only upon the election of Margaret Thatcher and the growth and increased sophistication of the offshore jurisdictions did the rates start to decrease substantially. In 1988, for example, after three consecutive reductions, the basic rate was 25 percent. Nowadays, that rate (the basic rate) is even lower: 20 percent and the maximum rate is 40 percent. Let’s have a look at what happened on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. United States Although the United States became independent from the United Kingdom in 1776, after a conflict arising precisely from a taxing issue, it was not until 1861 that the country imposed the first income tax. And, just like in the United Kingdom, this was not done to finance the ordinary expenses of the State but the Civil War. In other words, for over a century and 15 presidential terms, the State was financed without needing to take away from taxpayers a part of their income. Moreover, when it was finally done, those funds were not used to finance original expenses, but a civil war. And even in that emergency situation (1862), the rate was between three percent and five percent, depending on the income level. That is to say, there were just two tax brackets, as is the case today, for example, in Paraguay. In 1872, the income tax was annulled, basically due to the pressure of taxpayers, who deemed it expropriatory, like the majority of Congress. In 1894, the income tax was incorporated again, but the next year, when ruling in the case 158 U.S. 601 (Pollock v. Farmers Loan & Trust Company), the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. The exact date of the ruling was May 20, 1895, and the main argument put forward by the majority of the justices was that a direct tax was not constitutional if there was not a proportional way to distribute it among the states forming the Union, based on a census carried out to this end. The decision was made with five votes in favor and four against. In 1909, the creation of this tax was proposed again, and in the presidential election of 1912, the three principal candidates-the president at the time, William H. Taft; the former president, Theodore Roosevelt; and the candidate who eventually won, Woodrow Wilson-supported the legalization of the income tax. The 16th Amendment The 16th Amendment was introduced precisely to achieve this goal. Paradoxically, Wyoming-now one of the states where non-residents frequently establish their foreign trusts-was the 36th state to pass the Amendment, which led to the tax being in force. In particular, this Amendment established that Congress shall have the right to create and collect taxes over income, whichever source they may be from, without apportionment between the different states and without the need for a census. As said above, the tax bracket for most of the population was 1 percent. So, when did everything become more complicated for taxpayers? With the establishment of the Revenue Act of 1918 (WWI), which raised this tax to 77 percent, a rate over twice as much as that of the United Kingdom. From looking at the way in which the public sector has been financed in the United States, the following can be seen: * between 1890 and 1920, all internal revenue came from foreign trade, in the form of custom duties; * between 1920 and 1940, the greatest part of the revenue came from corporate income tax, followed by personal income tax and custom duties; and * between 1940 and the year 2000, custom duties tended to disappear, and the personal income tax overtook the corporate income tax.

PART 2 OF 2 SEE HERE Tax Havens, Fiscal Wilderness As mentioned above, in time, more and more countries started adopting this new type of tax, especially countries with growing deficits. As an example, Switzerland imposed it in 1840, France in 1872, Spain in 1900, Norway in 1911, Russia in 1916, Canada in 1918, Brazil in 1924 and Argentina in 1932. As a result, inhabitants of these countries began to look for ways to legally elude these unfair taxes, often using structures in jurisdictions that continued to consider these taxes as expropriatory. In that context, countries that expected (and expect) to charge this tax (which they deemed unethical not so long ago) turned against the rest and accused them of being “unfair fiscal competition.” In other words, they unilaterally changed the rules and then attacked those who simply maintained the status quo. Later, they gathered in small cartels (e.g. OECD, G20, and others) to lend more legitimacy to these claims. That is how the first “black lists” of “tax havens” appeared, and how the pressure against them increased. When they realized that these organizations were not achieving their goals, they started to use other arguments, more amenable to the general public (money laundering, terrorism financing). Offshore jurisdictions were not created to capture the investments of fiscal residents of other countries, but it was these other countries which drove away their own fiscal residents by creating taxes on their income (first) and their assets (later), taking the tax burden to untenable limits. Reality indicates that the very concept of “tax haven” was created by high-tax countries which, not being able to compete, tried (unfairly) to get the most efficient countries out of the competition. As usual, he who does not want to compete is the least competitive one. No wonder. Lessons Learned What learnings can we derive from the British and American experience? Several: * Firstly, there is a possibility that States finance themselves without receiving funds from the income or revenue of their inhabitants (or taxing these). * Secondly, until not long ago, all governments agreed that imposing taxes over income or revenue was expropriatory, and therefore could only be done under extraordinary circumstances. To impose this kind of tax was frowned upon, and those who were forced to do so were embarrassed. * Finally, were it not for the “fiscal wilderness” there would be no “tax havens”. If high-tax countries really wanted to “vanquish” tax havens, they should strive to provide legal security and reduce taxes, instead of lobbying through discredited, decadent multilateral organizations, which they have been doing for decades without any results.

White males are ticketed most for speeding what are you talking about? If you’re in the car scene at all the police harass you, you modify your car and speed and it’s a guaranteed ticket. Being white or male doesn’t get you off the hook with police. You take the wrong turn in the wrong neighborhood and you might as well be a drug user/dealer and get the same harassment of having your shit tossed while the cops go on a fishing expedition to fabricate any reason to make an arrest. If anything females get off more with police than any group. Flash your tits around and that gets you off for speeding far easier than simply being a white dude. Talk about privilege there

Love what you are saying. My maternal grandfather made his own way as a house painter, too. He was 1/2 Cherokee, but he identified as white. He was a poor sharecropper in Tennessee, but he got an opportunity to get into a trade and did it. By the time my siblings and I were in school, we could have gotten free school lunches (12 kids would have meant a lot of free lunches) but my father, a 1st generation American, did not take advantage of any of those programs. My paternal grandfather was 2 years old when his family came from France. My great-grandfather came a few years earlier and worked in a coal mine until he could send for his family. They learned English as quickly as they could and the children were not allowed to speak French at home because they now identified as American. Part of the problem is people are coming here (and are born here) who don't want to identify as American, and they listen to others that encourage them not to identify as such.

But when you don't do that, you shouldn't be surprised to be seen as non american, or in my case, non Belgian... I've read in the newspapers here, from people with African roots, that don't want to change their name to something more western, or give their kids a more western name. And it's their full right not to. But when western people read an African name, one shouldn't be surprised that one is seen as African. Because that's clearly how you're outing yourself to the outside world. And with an imigration crisis, and tons of Arab/African people talking in their own language on the streets, they also shouldn't be surprised that people talk English to them when they hear that...

My mother's family worked the fields with their white privilege. My father's family worked the forests with theirs. My dad died alone at the age of 59 while pouring a concrete foundation. He literally worked himself to death. He died without a dime to his name. My mother died 7 years later and only retired when her cancer no longer allowed her to work. She was better with money and left a $100,000 insurance policy to split between three siblings. It was nice to have that money to pay down some debt but it wasn't life changing money. I entered the work force after dropping out of college and my first jobs were things like pumping gas and washing cars. I worked hard and after two decades I have a successful career in Information Technology. It's been a tough road and my white male privilege hasn't gotten me anything.

Very well put. I came to the US with two soft sided bags 27 years ago. Worked my butt off as general labor, learned a skilled trade while I was doing that. I ended up in a position where I could go to university when I was in my 30’s and I finally graduated in my 40’s. I’m a white guy, I don’t feel like privilege has ever been extended to me. My aching back and crapped out joints are testimony to that. Hard work and diligence has been what has helped me. I’m still not rich by any means but I’m now able to not live paycheck to paycheck. My cars are pretty old but they run. I don’t have a new house, but we have one that we love and take care of. Privilege is nonsense. Hard work is what will get you ahead.

Had the privilege of joining the Army after HS. Had the great privilege of being mentored by great white, black, Hispanic leaders. Was given the opportunity to attend an elite private university with kids who had lived a truly privileged life. Had the privilege of working and succeeding in a major Fortune 500 company. I am now retired and living a privileged life. Raised my kids knowing God, to work hard. Treat others with respect and to love their country. They have learned from me that the cream rises no matter the color of the individual. I’ve been privileged to live in America. Did I mention I’m an immigrant(born in El Salvador).

For decades leading up to it, WWII was engineered by a certain small ethno-religious group of leftist financiers to cause the deaths of tens of millions of white people, and lead to European holdings in Africa & Asia being given back to their original peoples, and most importantly the creation of a country for the aforementioned ethno-religious group. So your grandfather (and mine) who thought they helped "win" WWII unknowingly helped defeat their own race of people, who are now rapidly shrinking in numbers and are the most hated people in the world, as pointed out in this video. Clinging to heroic nostalgia of "storming the beaches" has been imprinted into our brains because the people who run Hollywood have convinced us that fighting against whiteness is the most heroic thing we can do. I'm not minimizing or insulting the hardships your grandfather and mine endured in the war / wars. (WWI was orchestrated by the same ethno-religious group. In fact, it was designed to CAUSE a second world war, as evidenced by the overly-harsh penalties in the Treaty Of Versailles and the hidden-in-plain-sight Balfour Declaration.)

In 1987 I went for a job at the NYC Triborough bridge and tunnel Authority. I had just completed a 4-year apprenticeship program to become an Electrician. I had to take 2 written tests and a practical exam in front of 12 members of a board. The bosses loved me. I apparently scored way above the norm and was offered the job. I busted my ass to become an electrician. I worked crazy hours till my fingers literally bled. I thought I was finally set, this was it, till it wasn't. They rescinded the offer without explanation. I was devastated. About 2 weeks later, I got a phone call from one of the members of the board and he explained to me that they were told to hire 2 minority workers and that I was basically fucked because I was white. I never got over that and to this day, I wonder what my life would have been like if I had gotten the job. White privilege, my ass.

Had great parents, Dad was an NCO in the Air Force and a Vietnam Vet and my mom waited tables. I adored my fathers ribboned encrusted chest and pressed uniform. I always felt safe. My mom waited tables like no one in history, she was respected and busted her butt hustling hash and over easy eggs. Christmas's as a kid were always great...they made sure of that, somehow. No I didn't get the whole list but they always managed to get the WHOOPER!!, a stereo system including 8 track with 2 Kiss albums one year or the red Schwinn Tomahawk bike with a 3 speed stick shifter when I was younger. They divorced when I was 12. Raised to adore America and hate the Commies. Found my calling very young like you with drugs..mostly weed..and I was the man. Spent time in the youth corrections system. Married a girl at 19 and by 21 had a boy and a girl. Moved around from job to job..everything from dishwasher to hi rise window washer. Got a corporate job with benefits and was laid off after 10 years. And my world spiraled. I did temporary labor jobs for almost a year to feed the family. At 35 I got divorced. I pulled my big boy boots up and scored my dream job of fire fighting and rescue work. I've been at it ever since. I own my home in the burbs with the fertilized lawn and all the other collective bullshit..motorcycle..boat, etc. My son is a physician in Wilmington DE and my daughter is a content, happy mother of two girls. I don't feel like a success story, just a Joe Blow who did what he had to do. I'm very thankful of where I have been. Just a regular Jamoke I guess like you, I feel that the whole white privileged thing is sickening, a complete and utter insult to everything that I, my parents and my children and neighbors have accomplished. I broke my back at times for everything that I am and so did my parents. Thanks for letting me share.. and I really miss America. This isn't an empty invite, if you every find yourself in the Metro of Denver CO let me know.. I would love to meet you. Dave

I hear you man. I’ve been accused of white privilege and I’ll give them all my life example. The part where my dad left my mom when I was 2 and kept my mom away from me? The part where he couldn’t hold a job and my grandparents had to take care of me? Or maybe it’s the part where they were so poor they couldn’t help me go to college (never mind a scholarship because I’m white) Maybe it’s when my grandparents both died before I was 21 and my dad was still a deadbeat and I had to be financially smart and only depend on myself. I’m 40 now and have had to learn and earn everything the hard way. Life doesn’t go the way you want it to. You push forward and don’t look back.

Sir, I'm 25 in almost the same situation, learning the lessons the hard way is something I'm just now coming to terms with. But continuing to push forward is all I can do about it. Looking back has been my downfall, enough of that. It's because of all this white-privilege and male-privilege propaganda people make it hard not to look back a wonder why I couldn't have gotten a piece of that pie.. But it is what it is as I always say.

My privilege was to be raised by a mom and a dad who enforced rules in my childhood and cared about hard work. I scraped through high school, paid my own way through college for degree I'll never use and took my sweet loving time doing it, somewhat poorly, and then decided to become an electrician. My hard work, cheerfulness, proper use of the English language, and clean cut appearance has taken me to the upper end of the middle class.

I think there is a misunderstanding of what privilege means. That is why there is such disagreement about it. It doesn't have anything to do with how hard anyone has worked, what you lacked. It is something you are blessed with just for being white in this country, and really around the world. How did this happen? Learn and educate others.

Thank you for posting this. I grew up poor, bullied by Latino girls at my junior high school, running from gang violence at my high school,, and dealing with an alcoholic mother and drug-addicted father. After my mother divorced my father, my sisters and I pulled ourselves up from a single-parent, low-income lifestyle to not only finish high school, but also all finished college. All 3 of us have good lives and good careers. I teach at a community college where my first years were fantastic, but with time, the student population (and prevailing attitudes) have shifted. No matter how many "don't be a racist" workshops I take, I can't change the color of my skin to make my students more comfortable. I've finally put in for a transfer to a campus with a more diverse population. Watching your video has helped lifted a bit of the "white guilt" that I've carried for decades. Thank you so much for posting this.

I love Morgan Freeman. And having traveled the world and working in a multinational corporation I've always found our identities an odd thing. If you ask a minority from one of these countries they'll proudly proclaim their country of origin, not their country of ancestry. But I've heard the reverse question be asked of American minorities and I find it strange that they proclaim their minority status ahead of american? At what point do you just become... American? How many generations? I don't see anyone as an African American or Mexican American or Indian American... I see Americans... And I've asked... but I still don't have an answer to how we make people feel, while they may be ethnic minorities, like they're Americans first and those things second. It's a hell of a conundrum to me and it's not that I want people to loose their cultural identities... I think it's those identities that make America great...

Nice commentary Dave. I enjoyed your story and expressive way of telling it. I grew up in a family on the poverty level but had two parents who had good values. We may not have had much but dignity and respect were instilled into my sister and me. I broke with parental expectations, went to college, bettered myself, later obtained a master's degree and now am a teacher at a tech and career school. I drove myself to succeed because I didn't see why I shouldn't. I am saddled with school debt but am paying it of as expected, have a career I love and people who respect me. If I had any privilege, it was having parents who, although poor, had the dignity to instill manners and positive character in me.
