I hope I read this wrong. Lucky for everyone involved ATS is not a full contact sport.
Minorities are always willing to blame someone else?
Seriously, you need to clarify yourself or re-adjust your opinion maker.

I have never been racially repressed, attacked by clowns in white hoods, nor have I been sold into slavery. This is one white man who thinks those other white men need to learn history and actually understand what discrimination against color really means.

We can thank affirmative action and quota legislation for this. I've seen it first hand and I'm sure many of you have also. Especially if you work for a large corporation or school district or University. Promotions without merit, overlooked disciplinary actions because someone does not want to rock the proverbial boat. Scholarship awards etc etc
What is wrong with holding everyone to the same standards?? Encourage everyone to do their best. Leave out the sob stories that are used to get a leg up and work your ass off.
I wouldn't call it a racist thing. It was created to level the field for American blacks who were being denied access to certain fields based on their skin color.

If you're American then you'll know what I mean.Here it's always whitey's fault they can't get a good job.Even though they've made no effort to do so.And no,I'm not just speaking of blacks.
Point is this grow up get a job and stop blaming everyone else for YOUR shortcomings.Just because you're not white does not mean you don't have the same chances as we do.It's the same old tired excuse minorities have been using for years.
To clarify... I've been passed over for promotions for less qualified people who were not white.They usually failed and either got demoted or left the company all together.Basically they got the job because they were not white.That's not to say there weren't some that succeeded.Of course there were.But most who are promoted because they're not white usually dont.Promote people on merit.Not color.That's my problem.edit on 9-3-2012 by nightstalker78 because: (no reason given)
