Thanks. :blush

At the time it wasn't a conscious thing. It's only now that I have looked back on my life that I can see where those crossroads were and how I chose to proceed. For me it was just a natural thing. Though I do remember and recognize a choice having been made. But the choice seemed as simple as "Do I eat or do I starve?"

I view even the big issues that way. I know a lot of blacks and Native Americans who are angry about what happened in the past. And on some level I am angry too. But, you Proto for the sake of an example, did not do those things. And even more importantly, those things did not happen to ME. Holding a grudge serves no purpose other than making you feel 1)like a victim and 2) selfrightous. It's the past. Learn from it. Work to make sure it doesn't happen again. But get over it. No one is holding you back now but yourself. I can assure you that thanks to the appologists, there are more opportunities out there for blacks and Native Americans than there are for whites. If you don't take them you have no one to blame but yourself.
