Nobody on this board "has made that clear". Sounds like you are just another typical stereotyper. You only read what you want to read.

FIFY

So why do they keep getting re-elected? When you look at the approval rating for individual congress members amongst their constituents, many have high approval ratings, higher than Obama. The approval rating for the group is low. And if you use approval ratings as a gauge for action, shouldn't Obamacare be repealed immediately?

I have no idea what point you are trying to convey. The "friend of a friend" was just that...and told me point blank that the company was going to hire the best minority. You might try and hide in your plastic bubble, but to call him an idiot points to your blindness of facts. And not only did this happen to me personally (more than once), but I've also seen it happen with my very own eyes...way more than once. And I know about plenty of other instances. I actually had a company ask me to apply for a job opening in their HR department (I was doing contract work there) based on the fact that I was male and their whole HR department was female. The HR director told me I would be hired on the spot because they needed diversification in the department. Diversity is one of the key factors, if not the top key factor, in hiring practices in most of today's companies. Which can often translate to "Whites need not apply". If you want to call someone an idiot for this then you are going to be throwing out that card plenty. Apparently you need to walk an "inch" in my shoes and let reality set in.

Although cute, I don't agree with this analogy at all. The middle does not need government interference. Congress fails when both sides agree that they need to stick their noses into places it doesn't belong.

Affirmative Action laws, soft quotas, fear of DOJ prosecution...to the point that companies can't hire the most qualified. Are you really interested in learning about Affirmative Action. There are volumes written on the subject, both for and against. Well, not as much against. Anyone against will be labeled as racist in short order.

When you believe that Socialism is "open-minded" and fair and that Capitalism allows White people to suppress minorities then yes.

I applied for a job and the HR manager (a friend of a friend) told me point blank (but in confidence...not to be repeated) not to waste my time applying because the company was going to hire the best minority candidate. Whites need not apply. I have also personally seen this happen other times while doing contract work for a few companies. Companies hire the "best minority" candidate all of the time. It's been happening for years. And you are exactly right, they won't admit it publically.

Yes it is. Expressing my 1st amendment right. Can't get any more American than that. Why are you trying to mock and bully me? Are you trying to deny me my rights? Maybe it's time you learn how to walk on egg shells and quit being insensitive and passive aggressive towards my right to express myself. I see a need for sensitivity training in your near future.

What's your point?

Maybe you should read a little more. Sounds like you haven't the foggiest clue as to what went into the writing of the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. They didn't just cut and paste from other documents.

Read a book. Plenty of evidence. You can take the lazy way out and just ask PNGBamaKid. We had a brief discussion (and mutual agreement) on this a while back.

And yet you willfully ignore the fact that Jim Crow laws were repealed over 50 years ago (the main point), but it is abundantly clear you will continue to use them as the basis for your failed arguments.

That reference seems to have went way over your head. I feel explaining it would fruitless and a waste of time for the rest of the board.

There is a possibility that 30,40,50 years or so humans will no longer eat meat. The caging and slaughtering of animals will be considered as cruel and even worse than slavery. If and when that time comes, should all traces of Obama be removed from the history books since he indulged with a steak or two? Or should he be judged according to the time he lived? Now think about our "pos" fore-fathers.

The recent New York bomber Ahmad Khan Rahami is being charged with "the use of weapons of mass destruction". I found this on Big Girl's favorite site, Huffington Post: [Hidden Content] If fact, it is Count One. Did Rahami have a nuclear bomb?

I'm assuming you are being rhetorical with that question. But the last time you asked a simplistic question such as this, you demanded an answer. So I'll answer: Of course. Any person with two functioning brain cells would blame Whites for Jim Crow laws...specifically (if you knew your history) the blame would fall squarely on the Democrats. And those laws where repealed over 50 years ago weren't they. (rhetorical) As for the rest of your post, I have no clue as to what you are trying to convey. Don't bother trying to explain, I don't really care.

Slavery was on it's way out regardless of which side won. The North winning the Civil war just hastened the end to the practice. So no, it did not take a war to end slavery. And why did you ignore the phrase "for the last 50 years"? I'm assuming you willingly ignored it because it doesn't fit you victimhood agenda. And I shouldn't be surprised you think our fore-fathers where a pos. You've shown your ignorance of history, so I'm confident you know nothing about them. And your assessment of our fore-fathers ranks you in the lowest percentile of the world's assessment of them. Millions upon millions of people are trying to be a part of their dream, despite all of the Liberal attempts to destroy it.

Blah, blah, blah. Apparently you have no clue. You keep blaming Whites for things that happened over 50 years ago. I'm not the one that has a problem admitting things. And I never said anything about "poor Whites". That's just your racial profiling being portrayed into my post. I should be used to it by now, it's just your mentality.

After the content of her past posts, I didn't think I could be. But lo and behold...

Yes, hopefully Texas will be "apart" from the U.S. And if you hate our forefathers and constitution so much, you are welcome to leave. We have already topped our quota of those with victimhood mentalities. And your knowledge of the Civil war is severely flawed if you think it was started and fought over slavery. (You must be reading those secret history books Bluedove is so found of.) It is hilarious how you can state a false premise then say you are lmao. Sounds like a second grader calling the teacher a retard then "lmao". Your question went unanswered because it is so juvenile it sounded rhetorical. But if you insist on a answer, I'll give the obvious one. The family that has received free food, housing, education, transportation, preference in hiring, all amenities, etc. for the last 50 years should be the family that is ahead of the one that has received little or no help, according to Liberal ideology. But Liberals fail to recognize that all this free stuff deprives one of the will to better oneself, thus enslaving one to the almighty government, and therefore creating a welfare state. Common knowledge that applies to any group, regardless of race.

Are you trying to say cannibalism is justified (but disgusting) if done by a whole group of people that considers it part of their doctrine, but the moral equivalency doesn't apply if it is just one insane person? Did you actually just say that?

Can you provide an example of anyone denying Whites have not done anything just as bad or worse? I would like to know if these people are real or just a figment of your imagination.

First off, I have not heard one single person say that Kaepernick doesn't have the right to protest. I've heard people question his right to protest while wearing his uniform, which is a valid question. The Liberals are the ones screaming from the rooftops that he has a right to protest...screaming at people who have never denied this. But if someone exercises their 1st amendment right by saying how they feel about his protest, then the Liberals scream Kaepernick is being denied his rights. It is actually pathetic and comical at the same time. He is perpetuating victimhood on a false narrative. The Liberals know it, so they try to paint anyone pointing this out as right-wing nutcases trying to deny Kaepernick's rights. And you eat it up with a spoon. Your only arguments in race relations happened 50+ years ago. I see you failed to give Whites credit for freeing the slaves. I see you failed to give Whites credit for repealing Jim Crow laws. I see you failed to give Whites credit for passing Civil Rights laws, including Affirmative Actions laws that give Blacks an unfair advantage in hiring practices. I see you failed to give Whites credit for the trillions (yes trillions) of dollars spent on welfare programs aimed exclusively to minority communities. I plainly see your victimhood mentality. Fifty plus years ago it was common for parents to discipline children with corporal punishment. It was common for parents to permit (and even encourage) kids over the age of five to roam the neighborhoods freely. It was common to leave kids in a car while the parent ran into the grocery store. It was acceptable for a complete stranger to discipline a misbehaving child. All of these things would land a person in prison now-a-days. I lived through that. So can I now blame my parents for their actions long ago? You are trying to judge the actions of our fore-fathers and founding fathers based on today's standards. By your own admission you should save some of that hatred for Obama. After all, he was against gay marriage just ten years ago. Why do you judge White people on actions 50+ years ago but give Black people a pass on actions 10+ plus years ago? If Hillary wins then hopefully we will voting for the first president of the new independent Texas Republic in short order. If Trump wins, we won't wait to 2018 to paint him as a Liberal in disguise...he already is a Liberal in disguise. The last two speeches I heard from him were disgusting. I actually had to turn the channel before I lost my lunch. But he is still head and shoulders above Hillary.
