I'd love to agree with you dear, but here, you see more stuff about pornography and masterbation than about politics. Notice, how much actual discussion have you found about the biggest thing on the news these days, immigration bill Congress has before it now? Affirmative action programs still exist in many venues. Affirmative action didn't only benefit blacks, but women as well. It would be one thing to claim affirmative action was all bad. Surely that's not the case. What is the case is that the people standing up to end Affirmative Action programs are some of those who benefitted by them, and felt looked down upon as less than equal because of it. "Oh, he's only here because of a quota, or he's only here because he's black!" That sort of thing doesn't at all make equality a reality.

Many of those lobbying against affirmative action in college admissions were people like Ward Connerly, black himself, who was sick of the notion that blacks needed special help. that was counterproductive as far as bring blacks into their full potential in school as well as business.

Where affirmative action programs have been voted away, blacks compete on a level playing field, and have GAINED the RESPECT of those around them, because of it. YOu cannot discount the fact that there are many brilliant blacks in all walks of life now here in America and they aren't considered inferior in most places. Where they DID gain their job from affirmative action, they aren't looked upon as equal. I don't think anyone would say that the current Secretary of State got there because she needed special help to get to school, any more than you would say Colin Powell got where he got because he had special help.

In many areas of life today, blacks enjoy full equality based on their individual accomplishments, same as anyone else. Of course there will always be an underclass, but there are more whites in that underclass than blacks, and that's a fact.

And while this guy may be MORE extreme for the US or whatever it's pretty obvious fools believe a lot of black leaders in the US that the white man keeps them down.

Ironically they complain that the white man attacks them or something but in reality blacks cause more crimes in the US than anyone else


Olifant your above quote that you posted is way off base. Ironic that many
of us Blacks complain? We have the rights to complain just like you White
folks do, but to say to kill all you white folks that will never happen in
this world, and besides it would take to long to wipe out a half of million
whites (not including the offsprings and next of kin).

Can't yo see that history is repeating itself? First we was complaining,
and now you WHITES is complaining. This S**t is dead and old as horse
s**t, and what needs to happen is for everyone to try to live together.[/quote]

I very much like your conclusions here. Everyone should try to live together. We recently visited the Capital, in Washington, DC and my granddaughter was proud to point out the bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and knew what he stood for. WE should all learn to live together.
