Actually, I don't claim to have any "people". I have a family: my mom, my husband, sisters, etc. I guess they're my "people".
I'm just sick and tired of everyone wanting to be a victim. "They made me do it" attitudes are cop outs. No one wants to own up to their actions or lack thereof. Come on! Whatever happened to good old fashioned honest work?

Nobody is debating honest work. But do you REALLY believe that the playing field is 100% equal? If it TRULY were, we would never have these conversations about race/cultures, etc. It's not about being a victim...truth is spoken when "minorities" talk about hitting the "glass ceiling" on the job because of race or gender, it's not a "myth" when "minorities" get turned down for bank loans and their credit is just as good as their white counterparts, and so on.
There are hundreds of stories out there that people can tell about their personal experiences with racism and IMO, more people need to listen and realize that just because the Civil Right Movement happened, doesn't mean that things are "ok" now. Sure, they are better...certainly, but there is much more work to be done.
