I don't know Chuck, this guy sounds like a goof. I don't think there's anything particularly white about a group of people pushing someone until they snap and I don't think there's anything particularly white about the horrible actions someone who has snapped can commit. Maybe the only place I can see skin color mattering is that middle-class, white westerners may be more likely to expect the world to be a basically benevolent place and take it harder if they find out it isn't. cheers, scott cheers, scott -------------------------------------------------------------- Take no heroes, Only inspiration.
