All other factors being equal, American Culture is dominated by WASPs.

Like I said, Bill Cosby had some answers and you shut him down. The truth stung a little maybe.
Maybe black people have borderline personalities, kinda looks that way reading these posts.
I'll ask you the same thing that i ask every other dummy that talks about free government stuff.

What free stuff have i received that you haven't?

Go ahead. Name them.
