It sickens me every time I hear it, but it is very much real. I was shocked when an Asian woman was laid off a while back until I realized that she was Canadian, where bullshit like Affirmative Action doesn't exist.

But that works out for you, because you're black, right?

Yes it is the same thing they used. So what? Sorry, but anyone who has been a POW, tortured and beaten for 5 years is going to be damaged goods and should be allowed nowhere near the oval office.

But it's ok for an alcoholic C student? Everyone has their shitty points.

White people.

I don't see how this is worse than a person arguing for more black people in power. People are just taking the quote too seriously because O'Reilly said it and white people are the majority.

Are you kidding? The last caucus with a pro-war stance is the GOP, specifically the white lunatics (read as: evangelicals) that McCain has been courting for the past two years after saying prior to that how much disdain he held for them and their leaders.

This early on I don't have a candidate. People seem to forget we're not voting this Nov., the election is more than a year away.

Truth.

Black people hold so much commercial power in this country that it sickens me that we don't do more with it. Nothing is holding us back from taking seats of real power except our own small-minded ghetto mentality.

The fact that corporate whores like 50 cent are considered role-models by many black youth absolutely pisses me off.

Where the fuck are our scientists, CEOs, senators and ambassadors dammit?
