Originally posted by gbellI don't know where the hostility is coming from Wayne. All I asked, if you reread my post, was that demographics and people's experiences influence their beliefs. So I then asked about the demo's of your area. If you are offended by that, I am sorry. But I don't think it was out of line either. Get my point?
Some of the biggest racists in this country are not white. How often are they criticized for it?

Originally posted by gbellHow is that idiotic? The way you "have done it in every state" isn't influenced by the area you've grown up in? I'm not saying you would be any different when "visiting" other states, I asked if you thought where you grew up influenced the way you do things. You don' think it has anything to do with how your parents raised you either? How did they get their beliefs? It's a huge cycle, both good and bad. So the bigger question would be how to break the bad cycle. And my thought is maybe by NOT mentioning black coaches onces a minute on TV, it just might help. If you feel that where you live and where you are raised doesn't influence how you feel about race, then we will agree to disagree. But throwing stones at my viewpoint isn't nice either.
JesusH .. Let it go will ya ...
Thanks

My point hasn't changed. Knowing the above i just stated, who cares where i'm from? We were both stating beliefs that we have and agreed on many. I wouldn't tell you anything differently because of where you were speaking from, nor would i care to bring it up. Your thoughts and personality won't be judged by me based on your so called "Demographics" and it shouldn't be either.Last edited by wayne1218; 01-22-2007, 01:39 PM.

This will be my last comment on it to you Wayne. I didn't mean that demo's influence my views on "you" about the subject, or your views of me, just that your view, as well as everyone's, is influenced by demo's, experiences, etc.

It shouldn't matter at all and its not important. They are 2 good coaches with 2 good teams. I get so tired of hearing about this bullshit, who cares if a black coach wins the superbowl or a white coach wins the superbowl. In this country African Americans have as much opportunity or more to succeed in life as everyone else. In fact, they often times get special priveliges to do so, such as affirmitive action. Let me know when there are 2 Native American coaches or 2 Latino coaches in the Super Bowl and then it may be a story worth discussing.
