A philosophical comment added to the responses (see Essays 1341, 1337 and 1332) to the AdAge story presented in Essay 1326…
i understand what people are speaking about. yes, if you have your cake why not eat it, because i thought that’s what it was for. watch the clichés because that is the way people think, but it doesn't make it so. i am a minority in the construction business. it is so sad that people are still greedy, but remember the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous; whites are and have been on top for a long time not because their families are rich. are they so deserving? but greed comes in many ways. oh, but woe to them, they do wicked things. what is a man who gains riches but loses his soul? it is so sad that minorities are smarter and intelligent and have the skills of any other race, but still are not treated fairly. 10% of contracts out here are supposed to go to minorities. you [whites] are not doing us a favor. every time i go to the store, i pay my taxes. those are my tax dollars — and the tax dollars of my children, mother, father and ancestors too. but they have done it for so long, taking, taking and taking. it’s been 400 years too long. — st. louis, MO
