    I find it funny that people are so frightened of being branded a "racist". Where i grew up race fights were something that happened. I have no problem with anybody of any race, however I do not share the same values as some of the other races. Everybody may be the same, but our cultures are not. To be honest I wouldn't want my kid (that I don't have) in a program that was designed for other races anyways.

    No "race" has any specific set of values. I don't have the same values as many other hispanics (or whites, or blacks.)

    Its disgusting when I see people trying to sneak in bullshit like that in the year 2013.

    Your crazy, tell me again how black culture is the exact same and has the same values that Asian culture or Hispanic culture or white culture has. They are all different and to deny that shows your ignorance. Just like everything else there is exceptions. Let me explain it to you another way since everybody get afraid when racial issues come up. People that grow up in cities, have different values then people who grow up on a farm.

    If counting with your mouth open while pointing at your fingers and toes worked for you, it should work for your future children just fine. One jackass doesn't define an entire group of people genius. How is it that when white people do some crazy racist shit, it's not all over this forum? You guys cry more than my four year old daughter.

    My question is... how do they determine of "color"" When I was in the Corps, they used to have us fill out forms that asked ethnicity. I always left it blank or told them I was african American. They of course would get all pissed off about that. I would tell them my parents were from Johannesburg, SA. They said that didnt make me african. I have actually been to africa. How many colored Americans have actually been to africa? their parents ? grand parents? great grandparents? to call people african American after this many generations is a joke. (a bad joke) just because you have skin that is pigmented darker than others, doesnt make you african. Either we are all Americans or we will all fail. How can they say who is colored? some people like RMAC are multi ethnic. (who isnt). so does that count? or do you have to be a certain shade of color? is hale berry to light or is danny glover too dark? its all bullshit. people need to grow past all this color and race bullshit.

    +1 When I was in the Corps it was common to use phrases like "dark green Marine" or "light green Marine". . . you know, because we're all green

    I only know one African-American. He's a white guy who was born in Cape Town, SA, and has dual citizenship.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
