But I do see Mid-Eastern people = condemning what=20 was done on September 11, 2001. That is the difference, one is a racist, = one is=20 not. I think you can figure out which is which.
 
My sorrow and sadness is that there are children = being raised=20 in both the Mid-East and America to hold such hatred in their hearts. = How will=20 we ever learn to get along with each other if we teach our children to = be=20 racists and hate each other when we don't even know each = other?

I have been a lurker on this list for many years, but have never posted because CANSLIM is only a small part of my investing strategy. However, I continue to learn from this list on a daily basis, and find the discussions here to be stimulating and profitable. First, although "politically incorrect" remarks may seem innocent to most, those "simple words" stir a lot of deep emotions in those of us who have been on the receiving end of racism over their lives, both overtly and covertly. We are a great nation, a "melting pot" if you will, but do not fool yourself. Racism continues to run deep in our society, and is perhaps a part of human nature that we can try to suppress, but may never fully conquer. And although many can empathize with the effects of racism on large segments of our society, I do not expect most to truly understand the amount of hurt and anger caused by "simple words." Racism arises from fear of the unknown. And when times are bad, it is easy to attribute blame to those that are "different" from oneself. However, it is important to realize that these same emotions are at the root of the terrible disaster that we have witnessed over the past week. Until we can conquer this darker side of humanity, we will never truly achieve the type of society that we all aspire to. I am a physician in NYC. One of the hospitals that I cover is only blocks away from the WTC. And I can tell you, the bodies that have passed through our hospital are of all races and national origins. The true impact of this attack is almost overwhelming to those of us that are trying to put the city and its people back together. The devastation and loss of life brings tears to your eyes. Terrorism knows no bounds, and all are ultimately affected. As I watch the reports and the interviews of those that wish to do something to help, my only comment is to first look within yourself...
