Firstly I agree with you for the most part about affirmative action, it is a racist law if you ask me. However don't forget it also includes women, so it would therefore also be a sexist law as well. However I am sure that there are some companies that wouldn't hire any of the people that fall into these categories if they weren't forced to and that isn't right either. How should we solve this problem..... who knows???? I guess people will just have to get passed there superficial beliefs about these people at least enough to give them a chance.

Secondly it is not affirmative action that causes American's to lose jobs to Mexican workers who are here illegally it is simply because they are willing to work for less.

And the last one I will touch on is the whole slavery thing. If you and or anybody think that the divide in the black/white race's is because of slavery you and they are missing a large chunk of history. After slavery black people were secluded and oppressed for quite a long time by the white majority in many places. They were only allowed to do certain things and go certain places and if they rebelled against the the "white only" signs they could be beaten severely or even killed. However we have come a good ways since then but I am sure there are some older folks still alive who remember those days. This wound is still pretty fresh. Both white people and black people tend to forget about this segment of history even though I think at least in the black community it is a subconscious thought at least and everybody just lumps it into "slavery" which is a bit off if you ask me.

Well TKainZero I am sure you aren't going to like this much. But as i said in my post above the slavery issue is really not the issue here. The issue is those years of oppression afterwards and were still alive in this country not to long ago. My point is that you reap what you sew, and I think frustration and even hatred towards your oppressors is a common thing even for a while after. I can imagine getting over something like that is not easy. I think we can both agree that hope for the end of this would be beneficial to us all.

Sir,

You act as though African American are more violent element in the USA. No we are just the most FEARED! Not because every Black person is a "Thug" because we are not. There are elements in all cultures contributing to the violence in the USA. Seems to me that there have been quite a few wacky young white kids killing a lot of innocent people recently. If you were as smart as you think you are you would have a better grasp of reality.

(Hi, right back atcha)

It's true that a low percentage of his votes were "present". It's still far too many for a man who says he's a different breed of politician.

Personally, I think Mr. Obama is, as someone pointed out earlier, an empty suit...not that Mr. McCain is any better. Don't misunderstand me, I don't like McCain any better than I do Mr. Obama, though for different reasons that I'm sure I'll have a chance to articulate over the next few months, lol.

My only real issue will be with people who insist on seeing a racial issue where there may not be one.

I'm not so naive as to believe everyone is going to vote the issue of the man. Some are going to vote the skin color it comes in, both for and against. I simply feel it's not the huge issue people are making it out to be. He won the nomination, and by all accounts, fairly and squarely. Despite what appeared to be attempts by some in the Democratic hierarchy to make it otherwise...

All I'm hoping is some form of viable 3rd alternative makes his or her presence felt by November...

This man is right.

The Black man no longer is the most dangerous demographic in the US...

Its now the Illigal Allien from Mexico...

But, the 'main' pillars of the 'thug' lifestyle are Africans.. people like .50 cents... and for every M&M there are 100 .50 cents...

Yes another inconvenient statistic, more than half the people in prison for murder are black. That might have something to do with the fact that while they only make up 13% of the population, they commit more than HALF of all murders in the U.S.!


Dont forget that over 30% of our prison population are ILLIGAL MEXICANS...

So, 30% of our prison pop is made up of whats supposed to be 0% of the population...
