Since I'm on a limited budget in a new apartment, I'm using my air mattress as a permanent bed until I get settled in and in a financial position to buy a real bed (Starving college student). Its a Coleman air mattress, and I've been sleeping on it for approximately a week now. It widened out, to the point where the sheet I bought for it won't even fit it anymore. I've aired it back up, and it still holds it widened out shape. Now, I was thinking of building a platform frame, with a frame around the entire bed to give the bed a more square shape. Allowing the sheet to fit better, and for my pillows to not roll of the head, etc, would this cause any damage to the bed? Assuming there wouldn't be any sharp points to puncture the mattress.


My name is Bianca Coleman and I NEED HELP!!! I am TIRED of people CONTROLLING MY LIFE!!! Every time I try to tell someone that I am not mentally well, they either don't believe me or they quickly change the subject. All in all, nobody takes me seriously!

As of today, 8/12/09, I have tried to tell my dad that I might return to a hospital that specializes in mental health care, and he says no(like I need his permission at my age, 19). I am feeling severely stressed out with the bad memories, the speeding thoughts, my vulnerability, and college, in general. I will be attending college within 2 weeks and I have the same fear that I will be treated as a shut in because of my "strange behavior", which I cannot control. I need help, or else I'm going to have a very unpleasant college stay. I HATE when people don't listen to ME! Why can't people understand that I NEED HELP!!!

I need to learn how to keep my mentality in control while in college and I feel that returning to that psych hospital will at least assist me on that BECAUSE I HAVE NOBODY ELSE!!! They gave me medication that worked for me, but when I was released, and I went to my former psychiatrist, he tore up the medication prescription slip and prescribed me to something else that didn't work.

And now I'm asking my fellow Yahoo Answerers, what in the hell should I do? I'm having a inner-core mental meltdown here, and I'm not joking. Either I'm getting help or I'm going to do something I'll regret.

Suggestions and pieces of advice are appreciated. Thank you.


Why are illegals being allowed in a pre-trial program that has their charges dismissed?
Isn't this a waste of taxpayers money since they do not belong here in the first place?
Please read the article and tell me your opinion?
**********************************************************************************

Illegal immigrants don't deserve any rights
July 5, 2009I'm writing about an article in the Courier News on July 1 about an illegal immigrant who was given the right to a pretrial program. If he is admitted into this pretrial program, all charges against him will be dropped. This is wrong. He is here illegally. End of case.


Every member of the appellate court who ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to a pretrial intervention program should be fired and never be allowed to have any public office or judgeship ever again.
The illegal immigrant was stopped in Bound Brook by a police officer, found to have a fake driver's license and false ID. He admitted to being here in our country illegally. The reason he was stopped isn't what this writing is about. He is in our country illegally. That is what it is about.
Shame on Judge Edward Coleman who granted the right to appeal the original rejection of his admission into the pretrial program. Shame on the lawmakers of our towns, states and federal government for allowing illegals any rights at all. These laws giving rights to illegals hinder the prosecution and deportation of these illegals. Laws should be for the protection of the legal citizens of our country.
If you are an American citizen born in this country of legal American parents and/or an immigrant who is here legally, then you have rights. Otherwise, the only right an illegal should have is the right to a plane ride back to the country they came from. And, that country should be paying all the expenses to have him sent back.
When is the federal government going to see that much of the trouble in our country is because of illegals? Our Border Patrol forces should be increased and should be armed. Anyone crossing our borders illegally should be warned that they will be shot if they do not turn back. Mexico has armed border guards on their borders. I guess these guards are asleep when the traffic is going north into the USA.
Our schools should be able to demand that foreigners coming in to our schools are here legally and foreign students coming in to our colleges must be thoroughly checked and monitored to make sure that they truly are students and are not here for terrorist purposes.
We are the United States of America, for legal Americans. We should not have to give in to every group that comes to our country and starts demanding that things be their way.
The Revolution was fought and the Declaration of Independence was signed so that we would have our own English-speaking country. We shouldn't have to demand that our country belong to us, and we should not have to press 1 to hear English.
LOIS ROMANO
I am American Indian and those excuses don't work, learn your history.
greasy - your statement does not hold water, the aarticle you have posted says "immigrants" not illegal aliens, stop trying to confuse the issue as always. yes I will educate people daily. thank you for noticing.


This says it way better than I can!

Lesnar backlash brims with double standards
By Dave Meltzer, Yahoo! Sports
Jul 17, 3:13 pm EDT

There have been 61 fighters in Ultimate Fighting Championship history who were pro wrestlers at one point or another. There are nine on the current UFC roster. Of the six fighters in the UFC Hall of Fame, three a�� Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn and Mark Coleman a�� dabbled in wrestling.

But UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is the only one vilified for it.

It would be easy to say that the attitude Lesnar has displayed a�� and not his former profession a�� would be the reason for crowdsa�� reaction to him in his short UFC career. It would be easy to blame his actions in the cage after he beat Frank Mir at UFC 100 for the reaction of the crowd, fellow fighters and media afterward. Except it wouldna��t be entirely true.

When Lesnar stepped out of the dressing room for his first match with Mir in February 2008, no debuting fighter in UFC history was ever so heavily booed. At that point, he had done nothing to be judged on in his UFC career a�� except that in his two previous careers, as a college wrestler for the University of Minnesota and as a pro wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment, he had risen to the top.

The reaction was entirely based on the fact that he was a pro wrestler coming into the UFC. The reaction came from a fan base that judged him as somehow different from the pro wrestlers who came before him into UFC.

Of course, none of the former pro wrestlers came into the company with so much publicity and such a rich contract. None walked in with the sort of name value and curiosity which led to what was, at the time, among the most purchased pay-per-view shows in company history.

This is not a defense of anything he did after the fight. But the reaction to Lesnara��s postfight comments and his flipping the bird at fans is just the latest example of a double standard Lesnar has faced in his MMA career.

What if the Lesnar and Dan Henderson fights and postfights on Saturday night were transposed? If Lesnar had thrown that totally legal but devastating second blow on an already knocked-out foe a�� and remarked in his interview that he was doing it to shut Mira��s mouth a�� people would have spent the past week demanding that he be banned from the sport. And would Henderson have gotten nearly Lesnara��s heat if he had pulled the same postfight antics as Lesnar?

You want to deny therea��s a double standard here?

As Georges St. Pierre continually took down Thiago Alves in their welterweight title fight, the crowd cheered every takedown. Even when St. Pierre wasna��t doing damage on the ground, he was being cheered wildly the entire fight.

In Round 2, as Lesnar had Mir on the ground and was punching his face in less than 30 seconds before the fight was over, there was a loud chant aimed at referee Herb Dean of a�?stand them up.a�?

This was a first in UFC history. Not the chant itself, but it being done when a fighter was pummeling the other and actually seconds away from winning. It was the first time a crowd hated a fighter so much that they were willing to pervert the entire framework of what the sport is supposed to be a�� that a fighter should do what he can to finish a fight a�� simply because they wanted that fighter to lose so badly.

Of all the pro wrestlers who have come into the sport, only two a�� Lesnar and non-UFC fighter Bobby Lashley a�� have ever been disrespected by fellow fighters for being a pro wrestler. In Lesnara��s four UFC fights, only one opponent didna��t throw some kind of variation on a�?Ita��s not the WWE,a�? at him before the fight. In hyping the match, Mir implied Lesnar was strong but clueless when it came to fighting. Heath Herring and his camp had complained behind the scenes to company officials that it was a joke he was even put in the ring with a fake pro wrestler, and made public comments about how the punches were going to be real.

The only opponent who didna��t disrespect Lesnar before the fight was Randy Couture. The only opponent Lesnar didna��t trash talk afterward was Couture. Coincidence?

And Mir probably wona��t be the last, given the fact that his potential next opponent, Shane Carwin, already has played the pro-wrestling card in starting the hype.

a�?We have no scripts in this port, no predetermined earning amount and no predetermined outcomes,a�? Carwin said.

Saturday nighta��s perfect storm was a moment that will be remembered in the sporta��s history. It marked the first time that a UFC fighter was the single most talked-about sports personality in the world, as pundits who spent years hyping the likes of Barry Bonds and Randy Moss suddenly found their moral compass and badmouthed Lesnar.

Lesnar never asked to become the biggest villain the sport has ever seen, but hea��s also smart enough and experienced enough at it that he knows ita��s not all a bad thing. While running down Bud Light a�� UFCa��s leading sponsor a�� was not the best of
This is funny, there are 5 "answers", but only 2 answers to the question that was asked.

This is "Yahoo Answers", not "Yahoo ramblings about everything but an answer to the question".

I asked, why MOST Brock haters are idiots, not, why are you an idiot about hating Brock.
Dan - for a guy that rips me for posting "another guy's opinion", you say "like the other guy said" a lot!

I didn't ask why ALL Brock haters are idiots, just most.

I see the idiots stand out in the crowd though!

I have a coleman coldheat soldering tool (came with solder, 1 mm I'm pretty sure). It was a gift, and I'm a college student doing some art.

I have very small aluminum panels I'm trying to solder together to make small aluminum cubes. (the panels are going to be 2X2 at the very largest). I'm also going to be soldering cubed pieces together to make metal roses. Generally the joints wont have much/any pressure put on them, it just needs to hold the metal together.

I'm trying to teach myself to solder these things together and I'm having zero luck. I was wondering if A. Am I using the right kind of solder and stuff? B. If not what should I use and how much does it cost (remember I'm a college student)? and C. Any advice for a beginner on how to do this?


To allow me to keep my license after getting 6 points and being a minor.This is what I have so far.

Dear Judge Coleman,

On October 27th I was in a car accident. I was stopped at the stop sign before exiting the High School after powder puff practice.There I had come to a stop I looked left first and saw no one coming then I checked right. There was a car in close range on the right so I waited for them to pass then I went to go without rechecking to the left which I should have done. So the effect of my going without rechecking was getting struck by a van in the rear left side of my mothers new vehicle. I was given points for a moving a violation.

Traffic School allows a person to have no points added to there driving record. The Officers informed me I could attend Traffic School and it would be taken care of. In all honesty I completey forgot during the 30 days. I know there is no approiate excuse for not taking Traffic School but the first week after the accident was powder puff games,week two was homecoming, and then three and four my mother was out of town since her mother had surgery and it was Thanksgiving. I should have made time since Traffic School is a privalege as is driving but I just forgot.

Judge Coleman I ask that I get to keep my license. Not for the social purposes of getting to go and hang out with friends or work but for education. I am a smart student who made all A's 4 out of 6 times last year and am in honors classes. My schedule is early bird[ 7:30-1:40] and the school does not provide transportation for this so my schedule would have to be reranged and classes switched. Also if my license were suspended next year I would not be able to dual in roll at the college since there is also no transportation provided for this.

I understand that driving is a privelage and since my wreck I have become a better and more aware driver. I would honest due anything in my power to keep that privelage.
Is there anything I should add change etc.?
Also what should I say when signing my name? like sincerley or what?
Yea I changed the typos once I put it on microsoft word.

What does everybody think about this. This came off of ESPN.com.


LSU to repeat in the West

July 8, 2008 9:00 AM


Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low

We shift our focus to the Western Division today, where Auburn and LSU are the two most talented teams. Both have quarterback questions, though, which could leave the door open for somebody else to sneak up and win the division. My predictions kick everything off again today followed by five questions that could define the West race and then the top three games to watch. Later on today, I'll have a two-part Q&A with Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, who's had the Chick-fil-A Bowl and spring practice to put in his spread offense.

1. LSU: There's an old adage in football that says muscle up front both offensively and defensively wins every time over the flash and dash of skill players. Nobody in the SEC has a better combination of offensive line personnel and front-seven personnel on defense than the defending national champion Tigers. On offense, center Brett Helms, massive guard Herman Johnson and tackle Ciron Black are all All-SEC caliber players. And even with the loss of Glenn Dorsey on defense, the Tigers return Tyson Jackson and Kirston Pittman at the ends, as well as BCS national championship star Ricky Jean-Francois, who can play both tackle and end. The best thing about Ryan Perrilloux's dismissal was that he didn't go through any of spring practice, meaning there won't be as big an adjustment this fall to redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee and junior Andrew Hatch. Lee is the likely starter at quarterback. He'll be asked to be more of a caretaker than anything, and it's always nice to have the stable of running backs and receivers that will surround him. LSU has to go to Auburn on Sept. 20 and hasn't won at Jordan-Hare Stadium since 1998, but that drought ends this season.

2. Auburn: Tommy Tuberville has been so consistent at Auburn and won so many big games that you wonder if his success is taken for granted on the Plains. Never shy about shaking things up, Tuberville has a new offensive coordinator (Tony Franklin) and a new defensive coordinator (Paul Rhoads) this season. The Tigers will also have a new quarterback. Sophomore Kodi Burns and junior college transfer Chris Todd exited spring practice in a battle that was too close to call. Todd is the better passer, but was plagued by a sore throwing shoulder all spring. Franklin enters the season expecting both to play. The defense will be a trademark Tuberville defense - fast, aggressive and nasty. End Antonio Coleman and tackle Sen'Derrick Marks will be two of the better defensive linemen in the league. The schedule also works out nicely for the Tigers, who get Tennessee, LSU and Georgia all at home. Auburn is plenty good enough to win the division and just might, but I think LSU is a little bit better up and down both lines of scrimmage.

3. Alabama: A toss-up here between Alabama and Mississippi State, but I think the Crimson Tide's touted signing class will be enough to get them in the top half of the division. This team will look more like a Nick Saban team from start to finish this season. In other words, don't look for another epic collapse in November. Much of the burden falls on senior quarterback John Parker Wilson. When he played well last season, Alabama usually played well. Wilson likes what he's seen of new offensive coordinator Jim McElwain's system and wants to spread the ball out to more of his playmakers this fall. Look for freshmen to play key roles on both offense and defense. The Crimson Tide are especially thin at linebacker. Judging from the number of arrests (10 within the last year), Saban is still trying to get the kind of grip he wants on this team. He's acted quickly on the more serious infractions. If the Tide are going to make some legitimate noise in the West race this season, the last thing they need is more off-the-field trouble. All in all, this team still lacks the kind of quality depth it takes to win big in the SEC.

4. Mississippi State: Mississippi State's patience with Sylvester Croom was rewarded last season, as the Bulldogs won eight games and their first bowl game since 2000. Croom was named the SEC Coach of the Year and just recently pocketed a new contract extension and raise that takes his annual salary to $1.7 million. It's well deserved for a man who walked into a mess at Mississippi State when he arrived in 2004. Croom is adamant that the Bulldogs' best days are ahead of them. For that to happen, they need to add more offensive firepower. Croom has tried increase the speed on the offensive side to match that of the defense. But outside of 240-pound running back Anthony Dixon, the Bulldogs don't have a surplus of proven offensive weapons. Senior free safety Derek Pegues leads a defense that was opportunistic and rock-solid a year ago. One thing we know about Croom's teams is that they don't quit, nor do they discourage easily. The Bulldogs will win a couple of big games this season. They just won't win enough of them to challenge for the West title.

5. Mississippi: Seeing Houston Nutt strolling the Ole Miss sidelines will be strange, but Nutt will be the first to tell you: It was time for him to get out of Arkansas, and most of the Hog Nation feels the same way. For all that former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron did wrong during his three-year stay in Oxford, he did recruit pretty well in spots. So Nutt has some talent to work with, and he's also got a quarterback that Ole Miss fans are anxious to see. Texas transfer Jevan Snead had a big spring and gave the Rebels a dimension in the passing game they never had under Orgeron. The other guy to watch on offense is incoming freshman tailback Enrique Davis, who was one of the top prep school players in the country a year ago. Nutt joked a few weeks ago that Davis sure did look good on film and that "we're going to find out real quick how good he is on the field." Looking at the Rebels' schedule, it's not too big a stretch to think that they could be 4-0 heading into their trip to Florida on Sept. 27.

6. Arkansas: Bobby Petrino says Arkansas needs to be his last job. Well, seeing is believing. A coaching nomad for most of his career, Petrino is back in the college game after leaving the Atlanta Falcons in the middle of the night last year. He's got his work cut out these first couple of years. The Razorbacks are replacing just about everybody on offense and defense. Casey Dick is the quarterback for now, but Petrino said following spring practice that Dick will have to work to keep that job. The Hogs were so run-oriented under Houston Nutt that you wonder how well and how quickly these players will adjust to Petrino's fast-paced, pass-driven offense. That kind of transformation doesn't just happen overnight. It takes recruiting classes and patience. Then again, it didn't take long for Petrino to make Louisville an offensive juggernaut. He's one of the best offensive strategists out there and keeps teams off balance with an array of different formations and aggressive play-calling. As good as Petrino is, he'll need to be a miracle worker for the Hogs to be a factor this season. Getting to seven wins would be a coup.

Racism In America
Written by:Jason Taylor
There is surely no nation in the world that holds "racism" in greater
horror than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offenses,
it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have
become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but
the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable
texture of American life. "Racism" is never shrugged off. For example,
when a White Georgetown Law School student reported earlier this year that
black students are not as qualified as White students, it set off a
booming, national controversy about "racism." If the student had merely
murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.

Racism is, indeed, the national obsession. Universities are on full alert
for it, newspapers and politicians denounce it, churches preach against
it, America is said to be racked with it, but just what is racism?
Dictionaries are not much help in understanding what is meant by the word.
They usually define it as the belief that one's own ethnic stock is
superior to others, or as the belief that culture and behavior are rooted
in race. When Americans speak of racism they mean a great deal more than
this. Nevertheless, the dictionary definition of racism is a clue to
understanding what Americans do mean. A peculiarly American meaning
derives from the current dogma that all ethnic stocks are equal. Despite
clear evidence to the contrary, all races have been declared to be equally
talented and hard- working, and anyone who questions the dogma is thought
to be not merely wrong but evil.
The dogma has logical consequences that are profoundly important. If
blacks, for example, are equal to Whites in every way, what accounts for
their poverty, criminality, and dissipation? Since any theory of racial
differences has been outlawed, the only possible explanation for black
failure is White racism. And since blacks are markedly poor, crime-prone,
and dissipated, America must be racked with pervasive racism. Nothing else
could be keeping them in such an abject state.
All public discourse on race today is locked into this rigid logic. Any
explanation for black failure that does not depend on White wickedness
threatens to veer off into the forbidden territory of racial differences.
Thus, even if today's Whites can find in their hearts no desire to oppress
blacks, yesterday's Whites must have oppressed them. If Whites do not
consciously oppress blacks, they must oppress them Unconsciously. If no
obviously racist individuals can be identified, then societal institutions
must be racist. Or, since blacks are failing so terribly in America, there
simply must be millions of White people we do not know about, who are
working day and night to keep blacks in misery. The dogma of racial
equality leaves no room for an explanation of black failure that is not,
in some fashion, an indictment of White people.
The logical consequences of this are clear. Since we are required to
believe that the only explanation for non-White failure is White racism,
every time a non-White is poor, commits a crime, goes on welfare, or takes
drugs, White society stands accused of yet another act of racism. All
failure or misbehavior by non-Whites is standing proof that White society
is riddled with hatred and bigotry. For precisely so long as non-Whites
fail to succeed in life at exactly the same level as Whites, Whites will
be, by definition, thwarting and oppressing them. This obligatory pattern
of thinking leads to strange conclusions. First of all, racism is a sin
that is thought to be committed almost exclusively by White people.
Indeed, a black congressman from Chicago, Gus Savage, and Coleman Young,
the black mayor of Detroit, have argued that only White people can be
racist. Likewise, in 1987, the affirmative action officer of the State
Insurance Fund of New York issued a company pamphlet in which she
explained that all Whites are racist and that only Whites can be racist.
How else could the plight of blacks be explained without flirting with the
possibility of racial inequality?
Although some blacks and liberal Whites concede that non-Whites can,
perhaps, be racist, they invariably add that non-Whites have been forced
into it as self-defense because of centuries of White oppression. What
appears to be non-White racism is so understandable and forgivable that it
hardly deserves the name. Thus, whether or not an act is called racism
depends on the race of the racist. What would surely be called racism when
done by Whites is thought to be normal when done by anyone else. The
reverse is also true.
Examples of this sort of double standard are so common, it is almost
tedious to list them: When a White man kills a black man and uses the word
"nigger" while doing so, there is an enormous media uproar and the nation
beats its collective breast; when members of the black Yahweh cult carry
out ritual murders of random Whites, the media are silent (see AR of
March, 1991). College campuses forbid pejorative statements about
non-Whites as "racist," but ignore scurrilous attacks on Whites.
At election time, if 60 percent of the White voters vote for a White
candidate, and 95 percent of the black voters vote for the black opponent,
it is Whites who are accused of racial bias. There are 107 "historically
black" colleges, whose fundamental blackness must be preserved in the name
of diversity, but all historically White colleges must be forcibly
integrated in the name of... the same thing. To resist would be racist.
"Black pride" is said to be a wonderful and worthy thing, but anything
that could be construed as an expression of White pride is a form of
hatred. It is perfectly natural for third-world immigrants to expect
school instruction and driver's tests in their own languages, whereas for
native Americans to ask them to learn English is racist.
Blatant anti-White prejudice, in the form of affirmative action, is now
the law of the land. Anything remotely like affirmative action, if
practiced in favor of Whites, would be attacked as despicable favoritism.
All across the country, black, Hispanic, and Asian clubs and caucuses are
thought to be fine expressions of ethnic solidarity, but any club or
association expressly for Whites is by definition racist. The National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) campaigns openly
for black advantage but is a respected "civil rights" organization. The
National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) campaigns
merely for equal treatment of all races, but is said to be viciously
racist.
At a few college campuses, students opposed to affirmative action have set
up student unions for Whites, analogous to those for blacks, Hispanics,
etc, and have been roundly condemned as racists. Recently, when the White
students at Lowell High School in San Francisco found themselves to be a
minority, they asked for a racially exclusive club like the ones that
non-Whites have. They were turned down in horror. Indeed, in America
today, any club not specifically formed to be a White enclave but whose
members simply happen all to be White is branded as racist.
Today, one of the favorite slogans that define the asymmetric quality of
American racism is "celebration of diversity." It has begun to dawn on a
few people that "diversity" is always achieved at the expense of Whites
(and sometimes men), and never the other way around. No one proposes that
Howard University be made more diverse by admitting Whites, Hispanics, or
Asians. No one ever suggests that National Hispanic University in San Jose
(CA) would benefit from the diversity of having non-Hispanics on campus.
No one suggests that the Black Congressional Caucus or the executive ranks
of the NAACP or the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
suffer from a lack of diversity. Somehow, it is perfectly legitimate for
them to celebrate homogeneity. And yet any all-White group - a company, a
town, a school, a club, a neighborhood - is thought to suffer from a
crippling lack of diversity that must be remedied as quickly as possible.
Only when Whites have been reduced to a minority has "diversity" been
achieved.
Let us put it bluntly: To "celebrate" or "embrace" diversity, as we are so
often asked to do, is no different from deploring an excess of Whites. In
fact, the entire nation is thought to suffer from an excess of Whites. Our
current immigration policies are structured so that approximately 90
percent of our annual 800,000 legal immigrants are non-White. The several
million illegal immigrants that enter the country every year are virtually
all non-White. It would be racist not to be grateful for this laudable
contribution to "diversity." It is, of course, only White nations that are
called upon to practice this kind of "diversity." It is almost criminal to
imagine a nation of any other race countenancing blatant dispossession of
this kind.
What if the United States were pouring its poorest, least educated
citizens across the border into Mexico? Could anyone be fooled into
thinking that Mexico was being "culturally enriched?" What if the state of
Chihuahua were losing its majority population to poor Whites who demanded
that schools be taught in English, who insisted on celebrating the Fourth
of July, who demanded the right to vote even if they weren't citizens, who
clamored for "affirmative action" in jobs and schooling?
Would Mexico - or any other non-White nation - tolerate this kind of
cultural and demographic depredation? Of course not. Yet White Americans
are supposed to look upon the flood of Hispanics and Asians entering their
country as a priceless cultural gift. They are supposed to "celebrate"
their own loss of influence, their own dwindling numbers, their own
dispossession, for to do otherwise would be hopelessly racist.
There is another curious asymmetry about American racism. When non- Whites
advance their own racial purposes, no one ever accuses them of "hating"
another group. Blacks can join "civil rights" groups and Hispanics can be
activists without fear of being branded as bigots and hate mongers. They
can agitate openly for racial preferences that can come only at the
expense of whites. They can demand preferential treatment of all kinds
without anyone ever suggesting that they are "anti-white."
Whites, on the other hand, need only express their opposition to
affirmative action to be called haters. They need only subject racial
policies that are clearly prejudicial to themselves to be called racists.
Should they actually go so far as to say that they prefer the company of
their own kind, that they wish to be left alone to enjoy the fruits of
their European heritage, they are irredeemably wicked and hateful.
Here, then is the final, baffling inconsistency about American race
relations. All non-whites are allowed to prefer the company of their own
kind, to think of themselves as groups with interests distinct from those
of the whole, and to work openly for group advantage. None of this is
thought to be racist. At the same time, whites must also champion the
racial interests of non-whites. They must sacrifice their own future on
the altar of "diversity" and cooperate in their own dispossession. They
are to encourage, even to subsidize, the displacement of a European people
and culture by alien peoples and cultures. To put it in the simplest
possible terms, White people are cheerfully to slaughter their own
society, to commit racial and cultural suicide. To refuse to do so would
be racism.
Of course, the entire non-white enterprise in the United States is
perfectly natural and healthy. Nothing could be more natural than to love
one's people and to hope that it should flourish. Filipinos and El
Salvadorans are doubtless astonished to discover that simply by setting
foot in the United States they are entitled to affirmative action
preferences over native-born whites, but can they be blamed for accepting
them? Is it surprising that they should want their languages, their
cultures, their brothers and sisters to take possession and put their mark
indelibly on the land? If the once-great people of a once-great nation is
bent upon self-destruction and is prepared to hand over land and power to
whomever shows up and asks for it, why should Mexicans and Cambodians
complain?
No, it is the White enterprise in the United States that is unnatural,
unhealthy, and without historical precedent. Whites have let themselves be
convinced that it is racist merely to object to dispossession, much less
to work for their own interests. Never in the history of the world has a
dominant people thrown open the gates to strangers, and poured out its
wealth to aliens. Never before has a people been fooled into thinking that
there was virtue or nobility in surrendering its heritage, and giving away
to others its place in history. Of all the races in America, only whites
have been tricked into thinking that a preference for one's own kind is
racism. Only whites are ever told that a love for their own people is
somehow "hatred" of others. All healthy people prefer the company of their
own kind, and it has nothing to do with hatred. All men love their
families more than their neighbors, but this does not mean that they hate
their neighbors. Whites who love their racial family need bear no ill will
towards non-whites. They only wish to be left alone to participate in the
unfolding of their racial and cultural destinies.
What whites in America are being asked to do is therefore utterly
unnatural. They are being asked to devote themselves to the interests of
other races and to ignore the interests of their own. This is like asking
a man to forsake his own children and love the children of his neighbors,
since to do otherwise would be "racist."
What then, is "racism?" It is considerably more than any dictionary is
likely to say. It is any opposition by whites to official policies of
racial preference for non-whites. It is any preference by whites for their
own people and culture. It is any resistance by whites to the idea of
becoming a minority people. It is any unwillingness to be pushed aside. It
is, in short, any of the normal aspirations of people-hood that have
defined nations since the beginning of history - but only so long as the
aspirations are those of whites.

Also, opinions from those who attended them. Right now I'm looking at Coleman College in San Diego and Herzing College in Birmingham, AL. Both these offer majors in Information/Internet Security which is what I'm looking for. Although it's a start, I believe there is more information out there then I've been able to find.


I am from India...

I just want to know about the work and study program in Coleman College..A consultancy in India said that this university allows us to work 40 per week and attend classes in the weekend...

I want to know how far this is true and feasible...

I dont want to carry any money from india except for first semester and my plan is to earn the money while learning and able to pay the tuition fee...

And more over the consultancy also said that i don't need sit for GRE and TOFEL.........

Please answer...


She went to Oklahoma Colored Agricutural and Normal University now known as Langston University


I do not live in Detroit, but I am very close to it (10 minutes away), and I also went to college there. My question is who agrees with me of Kwame Kilpatrick being the worst mayor of Detroit? I know many will say Coleman Young is worse........so, I'll rephrase it by saying: Who thinks Kwame Kilpatrick is the 2nd worst mayor of Detroit? I think it's sad to see these IDIOTS come into office, and ruin a great city. Why are these people of Detroit SO DUMB to reelect these morans in office year after year? Uneducated!!!!


We are having a mural contest at Coleman college and the winner gets to paint a mural in the computer lab. Age range is 20's - 40's
