[Vision2020] NOT interesting...just sad but true

[Carl Westberg]

Ed writes:  "... the sad reality of how whites are treated in society if 
they celebrate their heritage."  I'm Swedish by heritage, and when my 
extended family gets together, Ed, we do indeed celebrate our Swedish 
heritage with the food we eat, stories of our ancestors from "the old 
country", etcetera.  But we're not celebrating being "White".  To celebrate 
being "White" seems a little creepy.    Carl Westberg Jr.
