    Actually I follow and have followed a white rice based diet for nearly forty years. I read a great book that goes into how so much of the world eats white rice with vegetables and whatever little protein they can find to put in it and they are extremely healthy.
    I try to keep white rice at around 70% of my caloric intake with vegetables and a small amount of meat.
    Dinner for instance will have one small piece of chicken shredded into the stir fry for two.

    I do. You posted nothing to prove your claim anything less than a lie.

    Isn't Brown rice more nutritious than white rice?
    I read somewhere that Brown wheat bread is healthier than white bread also.

    Yep. White rice and bread are void of nutrition

    YOU introduced the concept of ALLEGIANCE so running away when YOUR side is waving flags that clearly DEMONSTRATE that they are NOT in FULL allegiance to America is ON topic.

    Africa is a CONTINENT, not a nation!

    Having African heritage as opposed to Caucasian heritage is a RACIAL classification that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with ALLEGIANCE to any nation!

    Your position is that being non-white means that you only get HALF of the vote that whites have.

    That is de facto racial DISCRIMINATION for the NEFARIOUS purpose of Minority Voter Suppression.

    I've never understood it. I was born in the U.S. of an American father and Cuban mother. I was raised much of my youth in Cuba and even had a Cuban passport for a while. Spanish was my original native language. But I have never called myself a Cuban. I loved the island but I was always an American who lived in Cuba from time to time.

    Brown rice is better nutritionally but most of the nutrients are from what you put in rice anyway.

    Using blacks getting less than a full vote in the antebellum period as an example of racism is evidence you know nothing of why that was done.
    The reality is it was done to keep the slave owning south from gaining congressional seats and spreading slavery to areas of America yet to be states.
    You’re welcome.

    Nice try but I have clearly stated rice creed or color is irrelevant. Anyone who self identifies as a hyphenated American should get half a vote

    ONLY in YOUR opinion since you have abjectly FAILED to substantiate your bovine excrement allegation.

    No individual vote but counting them in the census increased the vote for congressional seats of slave owning states so a compromise was reached and slaves equaled 3/5 of a vote. This is the reverse of an example of racism. It was in fact anti racist
    “The Three-Fifths Compromisewas a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether and, if so, how slaveswould be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count three out of every five slaves as people for this purpose. Its effect was to give the Southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored,
