You don't consider affirmative action as a form of help? Ok then, fair enough, can you please give examples of how the blacks deal with the racism which therefore prevents them from getting ahead? Because the way I see it is that the poor blacks can go to college with lower scores than whites.......... why? solely because of the color of their skin. The poor blacks also qualify for financial aid which assists in expenses. As for receiving jobs, well, most corporations have quotas to reach so therefore again, the black or other minority will receive the job over whitey soley because of the color of their skin. So how does racism hold them back?
Affirmative Action based on class is relevant. Affirmative Action based on race isn't. Help the poor regardless of their race. The wealthy don't need help, no matter what their race is.
Obama does not care about white voters and is determined to win with coalition of minority voters and guilt-ridden white elites. http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/the-future-of-the-obama-coalition/
You guys do realize that whites still make up about 75% of the population. You literally cannot win a presidential election without the majority of white voters.
Bull(*)(*)(*)(*), a lot of libs see racism where none exists, and look the other way at blatant examples of racism. Happens right here on PF all the time.
We are starting to see other stories by libs who are breathlessly predicting the date when whites will not be the majority. And I think we can see how they will be treated by the Dems when they are not 75% anymore.
I think California actually gives us a window to the future. They actually got rid of Affirmative Action with regard to race. We'll probably do the same nationally when there no longer is a racial majority.
Of course. How can they legally get even with the new white minority if there are still laws against it?
If no one is the majority, then getting even is less of an issue. The percentage of people of mixed races is also increasing, so there may come a point where we all share some cultural ancestry.
It looks like the Dems are moving toward a coalition of minorities with the common purpose of screwing the whites.
I guess that would mean I should want to purge all English blood from my veins, since it was the English who oppressed and raped my Scottish ancestors all those years ago.
According to the NY Times article I cited Obama is planning to ignore working-class whites and concentrate on minorities in 2012. Maybe just a preview of the future?
True, but many of us were alive and well during Jim Crow segregation. Many were alive when our relatives which lynch because of the color of the skin, or the texture of the hair or the shape of the nose. Thats my point.
What a silly brown person. He has no idea who the people were that actually put him in office in the first place. It wasn't the dirty monkey colleckin' de we'fare every fuss of de monf. It was the middle class white voter feeling the White Guilt over some Chicago mafia candidate that ain't even black. Obama is a white/black hybrid "mongrel" (his own words)!
No BS country boy.....a lot of Cons see racism where none exists and look the other way at blatant examples of racism. Happens right here on PF all the time. Shoot just take a look at Paco's posts just above this one....pure race baiting and not a peep from the right. Hmmmm it seems you mixed up conservative and liberal....must be those blinders you're wearing.
Avoiding my point, I see. If it's okay for Obama to want to purge the "white blood" in his veins, then I'm equally justified in wanting to purge the "English blood" in mine. What's more, I should be compensated somehow by the English government for what was done to my ancestors. They were systematically raped and oppressed by the English monarchy. I deserve some recompense.
Its not uncommon for biracials of African Ancestry to want to only be black. Whites in general don't make much of an effort to embrace biracials as equals. Blacks however treat biracials as members of the family. As for your beef with the English, knock yourself out.
Take it up with the individuals who wronged you. I had nothing to do with it. In fact, my step-father experienced just as much racism and intolerance as blacks did because of his Korean heritage, and nobody ever gave him any special treatment, nor has he asked for any. Maybe that's why he succeeded in life.
