[QUOTE="db-2, post: 311569, member: 4743"] I am old and white and living up here i have no idea how bad some minorities have had it outside of the local natives. And i was not around when they were going through all their crab in the 1800s or whenever. Most of it is stories that have been told. I believe we all have a story to tell but most tell it not when the anthem is being played. Most honor the anthem and flag for what it stands for and show the proper respect. And once the anthem is song, then take action to correct the problem not during my time when i am honoring the flag and everything associate with the flag. I can not fix it for you and i will not listen to your bitching during the anthem. I have heard of all those poor me stories to last a life time and maybe i need to tell some of my hard luck stories mainly stories from my grandparents and why they came over here from the old country. They did something to improve their life, then my parents took it from there to improve and now i need to do the same for my kids. So in the end i really do not give a crab about their problems as i am working on my remaining years on this earth and how i can better life for me and my love ones. I will not depend on someone else to fix it by telling how bad i have had it and i need their understanding. Pull yourself up by your own shoe straps. Ok, i can understand some compassion but understand i am also trying to move forward in my life. But being white it was all handled to me long before i was born. db [/QUOTE]
