I am an AMERICAN who happens to be Caucasian. I don't give one single iota what 'color' you are. It's your CHARACTER and your ACTIONS that get my RESPECT. PERIOD. I RESPECT everyone until they do something to LOOSE my respect. Those who have to hide behind their 'color' loose my respect. There are tens of thousands of 'colored' people who are honest, hard working AMERICANS who do NOT hide behind their 'color'. They don't need to blame others for their failures or shortcomings.
