There are tons of great teams for beginners out west.brohammashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916793129032434035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-73362785729614889692009-04-30T13:05:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:05:00.000-04:00I think that Lyric hit it on the head when she sai...I think that Lyric hit it on the head when she said that it helps when we are at least trying to be better people.<br /><br />We all begin from a different starting line but as long as we are all moving forward and growing and are willing to self-reflect, things are headed in the right direction.Corbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398238202579667140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-25092970983360351752009-04-30T09:59:00.000-04:002009-04-30T09:59:00.000-04:00sweet.

Y..."...I would have to write about something else."<br />Yep, that would be ideal.<br />The problem is that most people get too defensive (or offensive) when speaking about racial issues.<br /><br />(Don't tell me you play Rugby too. Man... I tried it. That ish hurts. But it is a nice scrum painting.)uglyblackjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404995571276457138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-17643910035303377252009-04-29T18:33:00.000-04:002009-04-29T18:33:00.000-04:00I wish more people realized that they've made mist...I wish more people realized that they've made mistakes in execution or boneheaded moves when it comes to issues involving race. More often than not however, I find that I have to confront the offender with my feelings on his/her offensive behavior and instead of a realization and/or apology, they mentally crouch into a defensive posture. <br /><br />A world filled with people that are more like the guy in your post wouldn't be perfect, but it would certainly be more managable.Mr. Nofacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164229381294354588noreply@blogger.com
