There is a vast amount of wisdom in this statement.
I had a friend in college who looked at me one day and wondered why the hell cops were always troubling him and why people were rude to him at checkout lines. He asked if that happened to me, and if not whether it was because I was white and he was black. I looked at his pot-leaf laden T-shirt and said, "No, Chris, I don't think it has so much to do with race as with advertising a particular image." [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]
Oh well, I hope he figured it out. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
