I have personally seen the transformation of Wendy Stevens over 4 years.  She&#039;s become a 7-figure earner because she leads by example.  Like every good coach, she knows &quot;the game&quot; inside (mindset) and out (action).  She&#039;s created a blueprint that anyone can follow toward their goal.</description>

I am not a racist, but I have met many of them. Usually they are non-whites! You said mnwomen misunderstood you, but it clearly states all baby boomers and old people. By this comment, that makes YOU a racist, maybe!</description>

Wendy - Thank you for sharing your personal testimony. I&#039;m in the military and everday I see how leaders fail to connect with their subordinates due to the military code of conduct. True leaders like yourself &quot;Make A Way&quot; to connect with their team, which ultimately will provide a road map for everyone to succeed. I looked forward to meeting you in person in Hawaii. Thank You again for all you do. :)

I agree with you mostly!  Howver, just because I am at the late end of Baby Boomers doesn&#039;t mean everyone is Enlightened!

When I was in 3rd grade a single black boy came into our class, the only one in the Whole School System!  Actually we liked him because he was a curiosity!  He lasted one year!

I was in high school when the race riots broke out in 1968!  There was a Black town 10 miles away, we were locked in our High School!

In 1973 I worked a a grocery store and checked out black customers who would never even look at me!  We did have some black employees!  We didn&#039;t socialize however!  While I worked there a very attractive Black Customer did ask me out for a date!  Unfortunately I was only 18 and said I couldn&#039;t go out!  That was due to Race, my family would Never at that time approved!  BUT it did Wake Me UP!

You need to realize that Eric Holder has a point!  We need to talk about Race!  We need to acknowledge that it has been a Problem!  Maybe you personally don&#039;t need too!  However alot of citizens DO!</description>

You genxers need to realize that not all boomers and older people care about race. There are people of all ages who do care and genxers are included in that.  BTW just whose children are you? Who taught you to not care about race? Your parents who are probably boomers or at the very least older people.</description>

Actually, that is part of the problem.  I go to the New York Post cartoon (the chimp one) for proof of this.

Polls done found that nearly every black person, including Republican ones, felt that the New York Post and the author of the cartoon should apologize for &quot;extremely offensive and ****** material.&quot;

On the other hand, white people nearly en masse said it was not racist, and there was no real problem here.

Why the disconnect?

Well, it is because white people really aren&#039;t ******.  They haven&#039;t used racism overall in some time, and so didn&#039;t actually remember that the &quot;black people are chimps/apes/monkeys&quot; epithets were once the norm and probably the most used racial epithets after the N-word.  They didn&#039;t see it as ****** because they literally did not remember that it was once a ****** term.

It is much easier to remember racism when one is the victim then when one was the perpetrator.  Black people saw it as ****** because they remember the time when it was.  White people did not.  That is why there was such a disconnect there.





Then there is also the problem of what we have accepted as race equality.  White people insist they have accepted black people, and to a point they are correct.

But notice who white people put up as proof that they have accepted black people.  They put up people like Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Wayne Brady, Bill Cosby, Oprah, etc.  Well, all of these are black people who succeeded in white culture.  That is not to attack them, the success of anyone should be celebrated; and these are no different.  But the point is, white people see race equality as being that they allowed black people to join their culture and that black people can succeed in their culture.

That is part of ending racism, but it is not all of it.  Those that succeeded in black culture are held up as examples of the downfall of society, morally bankrupt, etc.

Malcolm X, Dr. Dre, etc.   These guys are shown as evil, morally wrong, unacceptable.  Why?  They succeeded just as much as Wayne Brady or Michael Steele.  The difference between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. is what culture they fought for.  MLK Jr. is held up as the greatest example because he tried to get it where black people would be accepted in white culture.  Malcolm X is held up as a bad example because he succeeded in black culture and tried to make it the equal of white culture.

That is also part of the problem.  It is not enough to simply accept black people, as long as they are just like you.  What is required is that black culture must also be accepted as having worth.

That does not mean that you have to accept black culture as your own, by no means.  But we can no longer continue to insist that white culture is better, that you cannot be a good person unless you are a part of white culture.  

The truth is that white people are still the gatekeepers.  They are still the judges for what is considered acceptable and unacceptable, what is allowed and what is deemed wrong.  And that means for race relations to get truly equal, white people are going to have to accept and acknowledge that black culture has value and is worth having around.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;Odis&lt;/a&gt;


That is a very interesting question.  I find largely that sexism is mostly dead in the pre-30 crowd.  It&#039;s a good thing too because women are starting to be more in demand due to their higher test scores and generally better qualifications entering medical school now than the men are.  

In reference to Eric Holder&#039;s comments, I think that he just had a knee-jerk reaction to that stupid NY Post cartoon that was obviously a ****** hack hard at work sliming his way to sub-notoriety.  Quick, without looking, anyone know the name of the cartoonist?

I don&#039;t.</description>
