almost as negative a view of women as men do. we are creatures of environment. much has been made (rightly) about blacks having low self-esteem and lack of a vision of what is possible for them in life, due to the discriminatory and disadvantaged environment that they grew up in. i remember one study involving young black girls who were given different dolls (some black and some white) and asked to say which ones they liked better or which were prettier or something. more often than not, the girls chose the white dolls. btw, obama's talk about the war is cheap, and you're naive indeed if you think there is any reason to believe that he wouldn't have supported IWR.
