no contest

don't blame reverse racism because you guys are out of touch with mainstream America, stiff old geezers and angry rednecks aren't appealing to suburban housewives.
You are entitled to your opinion. But you never did answer my question. I understand.

What is 'reverse racism'? A logical person would say that it means the opposite of racism or no racism. AA was/is a racist program. The fact that you support racism via AA makes you the one with the problem. Not me.

Most of the recipients of AA are White females, so not sure how it's a racist program, but go on your crusade for the White race.

Prove your claim instead of projecting your white guilt.

The term reverse racism is stupid. There is absolutely NO need to reverse it. Racism is racism period. Every and any race or group of people can be racists, and racist towards others and each other.

Sorbo is just pissed because he's been robbed at the Oscars year after year

I don't blame him , with such great works such as "God's not dead", "Poolboy" and "Christmas Angel", it's a travesty

I think Affirmative Action in the beginning of it's implementation and imposition was needed to undo the wrong that had been done during the Jim Crow segregationist era period of the 20th century, but it's gotten to a point where it should be phased out. AA also can backfire on the people it intends to help. It also lowers expectations and standards.

Everyone should be held to equal standards and leveling the playing field.

Kevin Sorbo is just an old has been whose greatest success in his career was playing the lead title character role of Hercules in Hercules The Legendary Journeys LOL and then a good run on Andromena. He is also bitter over the fact that Lucy Lawless got a spinoff series from Hercules playing the lead role of Xena Warrior Princess and surpassing Hercules in fanbase and ratings.

Sorbo almost died and almost lost his body parts due to health issues and numbness and body circulation and his career went downhill from there. He is always trying to say something to stay in the headlines.

Don't tell me this doesn't belong here. I put it in the Religion forum and was told to put it here.
What is it with right-wingers and their obsession with Kevin Sorbo?

How can it "swing back" when it never was conservative in the first place. That pendulum you are referring to isn't going anywhere.

So you think Obama won on his experience? If any white man had the same flimsy resume and stuttering problem, would he have been worshipped all over the world? Please.

LOL! Affirmative Action tells blacks that their race, and not their merits, are what is important. Here are other things the left says about minorities................

Do you "goose-step" behind conservative talking points? Also, do you listen to people who "goose-step" behind conservative talking points?
