  1. So, you agree that AA is racial discrimination.

    Why do you support racial discrimination, whether against whites or another group?

  2. Sharpton is a clown.I don't think the majority of blacks even voted for him in the democratic primaries

  4. Yes,

    Affirmative action refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, gender , or national origin" into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group

    it did.

    So are you saying that if Donald Trump takes "race, color," etc etc into consideration, to the favor of white people in his leasing decisions, that's not racial discrimination?

    They left out part of his resume where he worked for the Federal Reserve.

    I'm sure they will try to sweep that under the rug. A former Central Bank employee is not a good candidate for anything.

    So... if I don't support a candidate because I think they are not qualified, or perhaps a loon, that makes me a racist?

    Personally, I'd rather see LTC(R) Allen West (not ADAM West, RCG) running than Cain. He's been in Congress as long as Obama was. And he has definite leadership qualities that Obama never had and as seen these past few years, never will.

    Unless he was against what is going on now and can show it.

  8. Eh, while I do think West is the more charismatic speaker, if we are really going to play "who's the best nonwhite GOP candidate" right now I have to give it to Cain, particularly because of his private sector experience which is what I think we could really use in a president right now. West has military experience over Cain, which I also respect and admire, but in the context of America's issues right now, I'd value (successful) private sector experience higher.

    Of course, you'll notice that the republicans have TWO nonwhite potentials, whereas the KKerrr, Democrats only had one. LOL!!
