You cant really expect so much from the public.. That cliche line "Common sense is not so common" really does apply. I mean.. You have such an obvious title for this thread, but some people come and post dumb things anyways.

As for something intelligent..

I can't really think of something so late at night, either that or I am just not so smart :(

So to every Native American band that feels the Government owes them a few million more dollars, I say go back to living off the land. To every black person who feels that injustices of the past make him or her deserving of a leg up, I say you're welcome to try your luck in Africa. Same goes for any other group you can think of.

Because guess what? In this life and in this part of the world we've all started on a more or less level playing field. We all have the same opportunities to make something of ourselves and that's what makes what we built here so wonderful. And don't tell me that people living in ghettos can't do it, because they can if they strive for it. When you boil it down, that's all it takes for any of us.

Sure there are some detriments to being a minority, but I personally would rather aceept them with a smile rather than try and exist as a majority in an environment where my very ability to survive is in question.

Begin your attacks on my reasoning... now!

I don't agree so much with the native americans.. The people who invaded their land did quite some harsh wrongs.. They aren't really entitled to anything hundreds of years later though.. Neither are the other minorities.. You are entitled to be even in every way.. I'm a minority, I'm not American-born.. I'm not crying about not being the majority though
