I am more than capable, Donovan and stringmasters, of making myself clear. <br><br>Opinionated, bossy, passionate -- yeah. But I'm hardly unclear, and while you are free to represent me anyway you want, you are not free to do so by twisting my words.<br><br>Keely<br><br><br><br><br><blockquote><hr>Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 15:38:49 -0700<br>From: donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] just sarcasm? no!<br>To: chasuk@gmail.com<br>CC: kjajmix1@msn.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br><br><div>Chas,</div> <div> </div> <div>There is a great deal of difference between someone being discriminated against because they are here taking a job, versus that of their race. The two may, or may not be coinciding. </div> <div> </div> <div>Those that discriminate solely on the bases of a personal characteristic of a person are in the wrong. But they are correct, in my opinion to show animosity toward those that come into the country and steal jobs and resources.</div> <div> </div> <div>I think Keely made herself very clear that I know no discrimination because I am a White male and have no place to speak as a consequence of it. </div> <div> </div> <div>I do agree that White Men were given privilege because they were not a minority. But I think that this is becoming less and less true today. Many businesses are profit oriented, and would most likely hire someone regardless or race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc, if
they could make a larger profit. This is what I think is happening with illegal labor and big corporations that push the government to ship in talent from foreign nations to work for a lesser wage. </div> <div> </div> <div>Best Regards,</div> <div> </div> <div>Donovan<br><br><b><i>Chasuk <chasuk@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:</div> <blockquote class="EC_replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;">On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 1:48 PM, Donovan Arnold<br>wrote:<br><br>> My understanding of the riots of 2005 in France were not based on race, but<br>> based on foreigners taking their jobs.<br><br>First, I mentioned race and xenophobia.
