Some things don't have to be said. The implications were more than enough to figure it out. I have street smarts, you don't. So let's leave it at that.

Oh really? What does this have to do with pension reform? You're angry because Blacks that work for the federal government get a pension eventually? Wow.

And how is Obama on your back relative to taxes? I still have my Bush tax cut. It never went up. Matter of fact, it just got extended not that long ago. So what happened to yours?

Why are you assigning to this poster things they did not say?

It's called "reading between the lines." On C-D, it's a requirement about 90% of the time when race based threads pop up.

Still, white folks are knee deep in the government trough as much as the next group. Deeper in fact. Add that to the big phat government contracting industry, and they're even deeper. Nevermind the other government agencies, the Pentagon contracts alone has white folks grabbing up the billions of federal dollars by the truckload. I'm a contractor...i se it firsthand. I know who is knocking down the real money in the game.

We won't even talk about contracting coming out of the State Department, CIA, Homeland Security, Interior, Education...etc.

Black folks are getting table scraps in comparison. We don't even rate in the conversation.
Exactly what do you consider grossly overrepresented?

Blacks are overrepresented in the military. Perhaps "grossly" is overstating it, but they are overrepresented.'

So why no b*tching about that?
