I wonder if soon Pearl Jam and U2 will get called before Jackson for having no black members.

Could it be possible that individuals from the Dominican Republic, South Korea, South America, and Japan are more highly motivated and willing to work harder and sacrifice more to achieve a goal than individuals from the USA? We in the US have organized sports in practically every high school in the country. There are "Little Leagues" in every city - a child just has to want to play. I believe it's to all our "enlightened self interest" to want people from all walks of life to participate, share, and contribute in all this great country has to offer. Affirmative Action, quota systems, double standards, United Negro Colleges, and preferential treatment of any kind is ineffective and destructive. Tom |
