Subject: I appologize
Date: Mon Aug  8 01:18:50 1994

Having read all the messages today.  I have to say that I'm sorry.  I'm
not sorry for doing what I did, mind you. That gave me a lot of personal
satisfaction.  I am sorry for making it seem as if I have a problem with
the people on this base.  You people, in your own way were trying to let
me see a different point of view. The problem was that few of you have the
background to know what my point of view is.

I still like the people here and I hope I have made it abundantly clear
that my only real anomisty is towards that cop (and the people who may
support his ideas).  I do also have a problem with the people out there
who think that just becuase I'm black and I have a problem with our
society that I'm allowing stuff to happen to me.  The simple facts are I
work twice as hard as many of my white peers for the same result.  I don't
complain I just do it.  This is America and whether you want to accept it
or no, it is land of the free (anglo-saxon male businessmen) home of the
brave (anyone stupid enough to not vote!)  

I've said all I can.  If you all think that I'm a bad person for what I
have done.  Then there is nothing, now that I can do to change that and I
don't really care at this point.  I want to appologize to: Setyr (sp?) for
callingyou an Yankee  :), and to Natalie for cursing at you :)  I just
felt that I was being attacked and I fought back.  It's not your fault and
I appologize.

Thanx to you all
