THANKS TO THOSE WHO RESPONDED TO MY PIECE ON RACE PROBLEM IN U.S. I DIDNT MEAN TO IMPLY THAT THERE WERE NO WHITES IN POVERTY, BUT THE MERE FACT THAT I AM EXTREMELY WHITE BUT NOTICIBLY NOT "PURE" WHITE LOOKING I AM STILL EXPERIENCING LOTS OF RACSM IN NORTHWEST PART OF U.S. IN OTER WORDS , I AM OF AMIXED BACKGROUND, AND BELIEVE ME , A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE NOTICE IF THEY DETECT SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES FROM EUROPEAN FEATURES. EVEN SOME PEOPLE WITH MEDITERRANEAN BACKGROUND ARE ASHAMED OF TELLING ANYBODY ABOUT IT> AND SOME OF THESE GREEK AND ITALIAN DESCENDED HAVE BLONDISH TYPE HAIR!! THEY ARE THAT RACE CONSCIOUS HERE> IMAGINE HOW AVISIBLY BLACK PERSON OR NOT SO VISIBLY "BLACK" MUST STRUGGLE TO COPE WITH THIS PURITANICAL INSANITY>
