entitlement...

it's a nasty word to most...to some it's probably empowering.  I, personally, think it's a very skewed view of one's self and one's family.  I've seen a lot of it lately and it's divisive.  To feel entitled to something inherently means you don't feel you need to earn or work for it...you just deserve it because of the color of your skin, or your social class (white, brown, black, purple, upper, middle or lower or even lower).  Acceptance into a university, being awarded a grant or being offered a job should be colorblind.  Heidi
