From: Pele@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: I appologize Date: Mon Aug 8 01:18:50 1994 Having read all the messages today. I have to say that I'm sorry. I'm not sorry for doing what I did, mind you. That gave me a lot of personal satisfaction. I am sorry for making it seem as if I have a problem with the people on this base. You people, in your own way were trying to let me see a different point of view. The problem was that few of you have the background to know what my point of view is. I still like the people here and I hope I have made it abundantly clear that my only real anomisty is towards that cop (and the people who may support his ideas). I do also have a problem with the people out there who think that just becuase I'm black and I have a problem with our society that I'm allowing stuff to happen to me. The simple facts are I work twice as hard as many of my white peers for the same result. I don't complain I just do it. This is America and whether you want to accept it or no, it is land of the free (anglo-saxon male businessmen) home of the brave (anyone stupid enough to not vote!) I've said all I can. If you all think that I'm a bad person for what I have done. Then there is nothing, now that I can do to change that and I don't really care at this point. I want to appologize to: Setyr (sp?) for callingyou an Yankee :), and to Natalie for cursing at you :) I just felt that I was being attacked and I fought back. It's not your fault and I appologize. Thanx to you all -Pele-
