Ok, the heat has been turned up.
Lets get some focus here, and stop debating world issues.
My head is not buried in the sand Raven and I do not believe discrimination is a problem in this industry to the point where a family needs to bond to support and combat these implied issues in numbers.
BP4L has the right to be who they are for what ever reason. It is our right to say they have formed for the wrong reason if it was based on issues against minorities in this business.
We can talk skin all day long or we could talk about lifestyle discriminations and hardships too, but the bottom line is these are the cards we each either accept or reject as individuals.
We all had the right to attend public school, we all made our choices for our futures. Some chose to "skate" thru their lives others went on to make investments in themselves at their own expense.
Because I am gay society owes me nothing, and I am not going to bond with other gays as a means to accept the indifferences.
Thats weak, its hard for me to accept a minority person being born and deciding to make this life one big excuse because of his forefathers. The generations now are not in those same hardships but so many use them as excuses to make nothing of their lives.
When I decided to put myself thru college at 30, my GPA meant nothing because all the scholarships went to minorities. At 37, I got my BS and also got $30K in school loans for the next 20 years.
No free lunch for me.
Its called do something with you life.
As for BP4L I think it represents an issue thats not present in our business but an issue because of its formation and its basis for formation.
If you want to talk discrimination, BP4L is a classic case within themselves. Their very formation is a discriminatory stance against those that do not meet their racial or minority guidelines.
So is this a case of them forming because of racism, or was it formed to bring racism into this industry.
This business is built on honor and respect, not skin or ethnicity.
BP4L serves a purpose.
My only hope is they are part of a solution and not part of the problem.
