and another thing, when the hell did i become a WHITE person.....im irish, and austrian....im not a fuckin color im an enithicity....and honestly i deserve the same rights as other enithicities do......and reading eairler about the whole we were slave two bit.....you know before they ventured to africa and used black people, "white" people were slaves too, you know they wern't made slaves just cuz they were black, it was cuz they werent as economically advanced as the british culture who then concured them and used them as slaves.....the black skin color was just propaganda used to help ease the unethical idea of owning another human being......so yea thats my 2 cents on that comment. n i agree with enygma....its the past im sorry i had an asshole great great grandfather......but deal with it. you have the opportunity to live your life just as normally as i live mine, so take it and stop complaining.....as for ghettos and you cant get out.....there are "white" people who cant get out too.....its not a color thing its a poor thing and i wish you the best of luck
