This why I love my Family

I have an awesome family, 1 brother and 5 sisters. It's has been really interesting on how we all turned out. We are similar in that I think we all have my Moms nose and our Dads ears, but how we all think and feel can be quite different. So there is lots of diversity of thought and opinion. This dynamichas made for some great discussions in our family. First I am impressed with all of my siblings each of them has their own ue abilities that make them strong in their own right. I would like to show case my sister Beth, she has been a great example to me in that she has overcome a lot, she taught me through example that no matter what, there is no reason to ever give up. Now I am not surprised that she was a tad irrigated with my last oped, I was riveted by her response she even numbered her points (any time some one numbers something it means a lot to them). Here they are incase you are to lazy to click on the comments section:

A Few Comments:
1) As a SWM (single white mom) I absolutely got something I didn't deserve. I received all kinds of grant $$ to pay for my schooling, books and even some of my living expenses. I just want to publicly thank all of you non-privileged folks for funding my education (or at least a great deal of it) and allowing me to live such a privileged life.
2) By calling your blog 'fighting whites' aren't you doing the very thing you preach against? Quote: "It will happen when people stop seeing black and white, and start seeing human beings, it will happen when we stop referring to ourselves hyphen-Americans and just be Americans."3) Because I love you I want to remind you that very often potential and existing employers will browse employee facebook/myspace/blogs/etc. While I respect your right to speak your mind - you should think carefully about how you broadcast your opinions.
4) I don't necessarily disagree with your main point - but I do disagree with your approach. I was offended by the closing prayer of the inauguration when Joseph Lowery prayed for the day when 'white men will embrace what is right' - but by starting a blog about fighting whites, I guess I'm having a hard time seeing the difference between his approach and yours.
5) You're probably correct in saying that no white person YOU KNOW ever had an advantage because of his/her skin color. But that doesn't mean it didn't and doesn't happen. And it's also not just skin color. As a women in the professional world I've experienced first hand, very personally, discrimination against women in favor of men. I don't know what the answer is to the problem - but I firmly believe that pretending it doesn't exist is not the answer.I'd have to say I agree with what you said about people needing to stop seeing black and white (and gender!) and just see Americans. The rest we'll just have to agree to disagree.Ha! And you thought it would be Becky you'd irritate ;-) Stepping down off of my soap box now...

Love you - your favorite sister,Beth

Let me say this, one demographic that needs and deserves grant money, and as much as possible are single mothers, infact, we should increase that part of our system, because I've seen first hand the difference it can make. They are deserving becuase the men in their lives have failed them or were taken in an ufourtunate way. As a man it is your duty to take care of the mother of your child.

You are right Beth, my aproach is harsh, I guess I just want to shed light on that fact that there isn't anyone out there fighting for my rights as SWM? So what's a boy to do? And I am right, the idea of a white man fighting to have a voice is explosive, but why can't I have a voice?

I will always entertain feedback that is rational and inteligent, even if the party doesn't agree with my point of view. This is tollerance, something I am required by society to practice as a SWM but others are excused becuase of their protected status.
