If I have offended people I am deeply sorry.  I will try to do
better next time, and try not to post offensive or racist
statements.

If I am a racist, I will try to eradicate these feelings and behaviors
in myself.  I will try to be more sensitive to the feelings and
opinions of those other people.  Just as I expect them to respect
me and my opinions.

My sincere and heartfelt apologies to those on the net that were
seriously offended by my comments.  I still disagree with much
of the attitude that has been presented, just as I don't believe
that reverse discrimination is a sematically correct concept or
term.  Yet, I do apologize and don't mean to cause grievous
hurts or serious offense.

Still, I can't help but think that if I had heard a similar
apology from someone else, I would never have commented.

	NO SMILEYS INTENDED!!!!!
