Diane is correct

I am glad that Diane reminded me of the observation made by Erevelles concerning African-Americans. I too had made a note about his description of African-Americans. Any time we start stereotyping any group of people, we will have misunderstandings, miscommunications, and malignant musings. It is so easy for any group of people to think that their observations and ways of looking at the world are correct. While I am not qualified to speak too authoritatively about the id and super ego, I think that Diane is correct in her observations about western European society. To some extent, Europeans and Americans still have a colonial mentality in that the rest of the world is somehow not as important or dignified or capable of making their own cultural and moral decisions. One only has to read history to see that this is certainly not the case.
