And I wish I were. lol I was very over weight when I was a kid. Still am. I was bullied mercilessly for years. I had something that set me apart from other. Still do. I know that's how I start to think if I want someone to accept me for who and what I am, I have to accept them for who and what they are. I got to a point where I can't accept ignorant bigots. I'll accept them for whatever else they are except being a bigot. I watched this video last night where a group of young men went to Vidor Texas. It's 94% white and a sundown town. I wasn't shocked at the level of racism. I think I was shocked at the level of denial about the racism some of the residents were in. I hope I would be more like Professor X. The non mutant humans are afraid and they lash out. It's hard work and will take time, but you can show your value and worthiness. Unlike most minorities, mutants have power and can dominate. It's strength of character not to do so. I think that's why Magneto fails as a hero. He lacks the character and wants to take the easy way.</blockquote>
