[QUOTE="Oshkoshpackfan, post: 496119, member: 6906"] People form certain social groups like "black doctors" Ect... for reasons of common bond, IMO. People want to be around people that are similar and have similar interest and common bonds. yes, there are doctors af all races, and that is a commonality, but people like to go back to their roots and tend to gravitate to those that they feel will give them automatic acceptance. I never really knew any black guys before going into the Marines, so I had no reason to dislike, distrust or not like them or any other race for any reason whatsoever. I learned quickly that there were two colors in the Marines, Light green and dark green ( green camo uniform reference ) and that we were all just Marines and the seperation was by rank, not skin color. Some of my best pals from the service were of different back grounds and religions. I loved getting all the details of their lives and what troubes they came from. I was told by them that I was "white" and looked "white", but I myself am 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Oneida Indian....So I never thought of myself as white, I always selected "other" on forms or paperwork relating to race. Race is a touchy subject indeed. I tend to base my opinion on the individual and not their race as a whole. I could care less if certain races have groups or funds for "them only", who is that bothering,really? Are you really wanting to be a part of that and feeling left out? Also, if B.E.T. bothers you on the TV, then use that really cool invention called a remote control and change the channel. Just my .02 cents. [/QUOTE]
