White male. Graduated from UM in January 1970. Retired civil engineer living in Valrico, Fl. (Just east of Tampa). Canes are pretty much the only team I follow rigorously.

Interesting to see the different type folks who are canes fans, but then being canes fans is the primary glue that holds us together. Also wonder why more folks don't out some of this info in their profiles. In the past I've been curious about posters only to find their background profiles empty.

I've been told I'm really black my entire life lol, so no disrespect .

I always played sports, so I was always around more AA and that's who I mostly ran with. So I guess I put that vibe off.

Btw , what was your handle there?

Interesting... I'm a Fan of Malcolm X and most people would frown on that because they see him as a radical racist... but he was a smart dude and once he realize that Religion had no racial limits.. meaning when he realize that he had white, red, yellow and brown Muslim brothers it caused him his life... I'm Christian but think that Malcom and Gandhi had some wisdom that we all could learn from..

Some Gandhi quotes that is relative to all Races, Gender and Religions:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. "

I am not well versed in this, but didn't Malcolm maintain the call for a separate black nation even after he broke with The Nation and became a Sunni?
Click to expand...
Yes..but he wanted to establish his new movement on his own .. to avoid anymore friction with the Nation but even say he would eventually open to all Muslims... however he didn't live long enough to follow through with that...

Do you think the separate nation thing is good? America's greatness really came from the whole melting pot concept, not the newer "diversity" idea. DO you think blacks have ever actually melted into the pot in the way of the Irish, German, Italian ... immigrants of the pass have. There are clear differences but it makes a difference in how to deal with this.

In a sense the Civil War was between to different peoples. The north and midwest were settled by mostly Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic peoples from England and German states, while the South was mostly Celtic DNA. These groups were historic enemies and those differences came with them. North won and Southern culture, which included healthy dose of Black culture, was suppressed. To this day if you hear someone say, "yes mam, no mam" he probably Black or a Southern white. As a Southerner, I still have trouble putting up with Yankees. Heck, I bet I would be more comfortable hanging with you than the average New Yorker -- except my Mom, RIP, of course. Strange that football brings us together more than all the government programs. I guess it is another form of tribalism.
