Just the fact that some of you demean, downplay, and down right discount this very historical event in the name of "your race" shows the world how ingrained racism is still rooted in this country. One crew -again ONE CREW- out of the countless perhaps millions before them that just happen to be of a different skin color, and some of you do not see the siginificance, nor historical achievement this cause IN THE NAME OF THE HUMAN RACE AND EQUALITY. But worse yet, some of you are ready to portray in such a light in order to make THE FACT that it happen and it got the attention it deserved, into some sort of morbid reverse racist situation or some kind of quota end result. Not the fact that a group qualified individuals did the job they were trained for, but just happen to black females.
Just about every behavior and human character in this world is learned form the ones that taught you from childhood, most likely your parents. You are their end result, as your children will be yours. With that said, how long will it be before events like this are a none issue for the rest of us?.

Ladies, if any of you are reading this, congratulations on your history making flight. As sure as we are tomorrow is coming, this event will also have a tomorrow.
Please refer to my previous post of the definition of racism so you can use it correctly.

I personally am tired of the word racism thrown at anybody who disagrees with someone or something that has to do with the black race. I disagree with Obama, I am racist; I think Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson are idiots, I am racist. I did not get the job because I am black, not because someone more qualified got it, so the person doing the hiring is racist. It has become an excuse everytime something does not go the way of the black community.

I understand the past and the fact that slavery, discrimination, and segregation were wrong but stop making excuses. Move forward, stop using racism as a excuse and take some personal responsibility.
