And the most important trait which you conveniently left out was the wealthiest, all the rest pretty much follow and come from that. Which is the
primary reason laws like this are created in the first place. The questions that should come first and foremost is are they right and are they fair?
We could debate these questions for days and get nowhere. I will say that a huge downside to laws like this is bringing up this vary issue. Dose
this help people of a lower economic status more than it fans the flames of a still ongoing race issue? I do not have that answer for you today.
I will say that the commercial Sonya posted is clearly not a race issue. As I stated they showed a group of older white males, which people associate
with rich white males. People don't make money by giving it away so they must show somebody working at their bank who doesn't appear to be rich.
Who do they show? A black man. It's not about race, it's about economic status.
I may not agree with laws such as this one do to the fact that these things have a tendency to fan the flames. They created racial thoughts and
discussions, such as this one which could harm the ultimate goal more than help it. However, I will not say African Americans have "had their day".
I strongly opposed anybody of any race who voted for Obama just because he is black. I still do, and to anybody who has done so you were wrong.
I have said it before and I will say it again. There is an issue today dealing with racism which is being covered up by politically correctness.
Sometimes a wound is too deep to be handled with a band-aid and underneath that band-aid and infection could occur. I am not saying this against any
posters here I am just stating the the problem is there. I enjoy reading all of your opinions and hope that this can bring up a few positive points
on the matter.
