OK, if you really believe in total free enterprise, you would want me to
get rid of my food co-op.  Is this true?

Frankly, I think there are often too many government regulations, and
that, often, those regulations address the wrong issues.

I don't know the whole story behind this, so I can't respond to it.  I
know that sometimes people are turned down for a job because they are
the wrong color (and that happens to people in *every* race), and I
believe that is wrong.  That may very well have happened to you.  I also
know that employers often lie to potential white employees and tell them
they had to hire a minority person instead of them, when, in reality,
they hired another white person, and didn't want the rejected person to
"feel bad."  I don't know about Tennessee, but that's *very* common in
the Mid Atlantic States.

I believe you and I probably have different strengths and weaknesses.
There are probably things I do better than you.  There are probably
things you do better than me.  So we are not equal in every area.  In
some things you are superior, and in some things I am superior.  But I
*still* believe that you and I are of equal worth.

An African-American leader, and his name is escaping me right now, said,
"Blacks in America survived slavery; they survived apartheid; they
survived the hate groups.  I'm not sure they can survive welfare."

Charles, what I really want is for the two of us to start understanding
each other.  We may, and probably do, disagree about some things.
That's OK.  But I suspect we disagree about fewer things than you think
we do.  For example, you were sure I would think you and your son were
rotten people over the schooling issue.  And I actually agreed with you.
You use words that I have learned to associate with white racists.  You
are apparently not a white racist.  I apparently use words you associate
with some group *you* don't like, some group *you* think of as evil
people.  Maybe, just as you are not really a white racist, I am not
really a part of whatever group you are asssigning me to.   Maybe you
and I really are just not using words in the same ways, and so we aren't
understanding each other.

Although I think your message about being a Christian is sincere, I
think, overall, that you are being sarcastic here. If you are not being
sarcastic; if you are saying something in all seriousness, let me know,
and I will respond to it accordingly.
