Tough one..... Lets put it like this I am a person, not a color or a race just a person. I point blank refuse to be catergorised regardless of the color of my skin, my birth right or my gender. I do not and refuse to understand the Persicutions suffored by "Afro Amercian's in "Y2k+" based on the fact that MANY lost their lives in the past for these people to have the freedom that they have today, and those that CHOOSE to go through life with the chip on their shoulder deserve everything that they get.....

REF the situation in Qatar with harrasment - As a female, I have suffered this ALOT, it does not matter if I am dressed up or down, on my way back from the gym, looking like %$#@ looking fíng fabulous or with my husband, it does not matter... there they are in all their splender ready to give you/me their best shot. I used to get upset when my Husband would shout or threaten them, I would say, dont be cruel they dont know any better... but I am wrong, they do know better and they choose not too. I mean even when I am with my husband they try it on and am sure they are not too fussed when my husband tells them OFF, they just see that as a sign to come back and try later maybe when he is not there. My attitude has changed, I now recognise that attitude allowed them to think that staring, following, calling, touching etc was ok and it is NOT.

After my last encounter with a TCN let's just say that I do not think that individual will EVER try anything with anyone EVER...... (evil Laugh)
