Quote:STOP THIS. COMING FROM A FELLOW BLACK MAN.

 

Stop pulling the race card. Those candidates you say were passed over because they are minorities were passed over because there was a better person for the job. THAT, is why they were passed over. NOT because they are Black, or Oriental, or whatever. There is only 32 jobs like this in the WORLD. Blacks only account for 14.1 of the USA's population. Get a damn clue. Embarrasing.

Thank you Tommy, well said.

 

Do minorities get passed over at times? I am sure, but it is not even close to the number passed over 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc years ago. There are also whites who get passed over now for scholarships and jobs, etc. now as well because of skin color.

 

Sadly, there will probably always be racists here and there. I don't think that will ever completely be gone (from people of all races). To acknowledge the scum who are racists empowers them. For them, any media coverage, or people talking about them, or to them is good. Good or bad publicity is good for them. Giving them something to speak about is good for them. Just have to not acknowledge them whatsoever. Same goes for anyone who constantly pulls the race card over everything. It cheapens when there is actually racism occuring.

 

My two cents. Take it for what it's worth.
