Ken, I have no idea why someone like Dennis Rodman, Darrell Strawberry (major
drug addict), etc., are treated differently, reverse discrimination? Yea,
probably.  Is that right, no, it is as wrong as any other discrimination.

You have to understand, I just hate discrimination of any kind.  It just goes
against the core of my very being.  It's not because I have been
discriminated against either.  I am a middle class, middle aged(???), white
female.  My mother in law is a major bigot against foreigners, homosexuals,
rich people, blacks and the list goes on and on and on.  When she comes to my
house, she now knows that I will not tolerate any kind of talk in my house.

I know that my children will be discriminated against, and I also know that
there will be nothing I can do about it, but I'll be damned if I am going to
contribute to it.  Does what Rocker say affect me or my family personally?
No.  It doesn't even affect society as a whole, but when I hear that kind of
talk, my skin just crawls.

I'm sorry, its just my opinion, I don't mean to offend anyone, or drag this
on, it just bugs me, and maybe it's because I'm so scared for the future of
my kids and the type of hurtful comments they are going to have to deal with.
