White people) sent White men to the moon and brought them back - several times. Americans (a.k.a. White people) have sent White men to the depths of the ocean floor and brought them back. Americans (a.k.a. White people) have flown aircraft to the farthest reaches of the earth. Americans (a.k.a. White people) have sailed and steamed ships upon (and under) every sea of the earth. Whether its the limits of outer space or the most minute sub-atomic particles, we Americans (i.e., we White people) are explorers. We want to know whats out there and in there and under there and over there. We want to prove to others - but mainly to ourselves - that we can dream, wonder, wander, and make discovery possible. Its in our genes like in no other race. An American teen-ager (i.e. a White teen-ager) has done us proud by sailing around the world - solo. www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/16...s.around.world/index.html Thursday morning, (16July2009), after a 27,500 mile journey, Zac Sunderland, 17, docked his 36-foot sailboat at Marina Del Rey, CA. The teen acknowledged the 27,500-mile voyage wasnt easy. . .He was 16 when he left Marina del Rey on June 14, 2008, aboard his boat, Intrepid. Solitude and exhaustion were just a couple of factors that faced him each day. While the alien President of the United States cant even throw a baseball all the way to home plate, and whose exploratory interests are limited to female buttocks (scroll down to about half-way down the page), an American teen-ager (i.e., a White teen-ager) handily guided a vessel around the world by himself. Zac Sunderland is a sterling reminder of the spirit of adventure and technical expertise that is still within our people.
