It's sickening frankly. You ever seen a "white college fund" or a "Society of White Engineers"?

Funny: the only people that I hear saying things like this are the ones that are not truly affected by racism...intesting.

Don't tell people to get over the past when it's still haunting their
present. "Jeff"
