1) Your point?
2) What do I get from any of this? I ask because at the end of the day, I look out for me first.

Last time I checked, only the Democrats are trying to keep affirmative action in place. I don't see Republicans being for that.

And that's worked out for Blacks how?

Well, just like Obama, people like mom want to continue to be held to a lower standard. Holding someone to a separate standard because of the color of his skin, that's affirmative action (a quota system) in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.

Is this really a political discussion, or an adolescent debate about which ethnicity is most superior to black. Answer: None. Not even black people.

Agreed, just another black bashing thread with a thin disguise.

Blacks will become the minor minority and the Hispanic community will be who the Democrats want to capture.

In 10 years Democrats will be putting their money elsewhere (it's already started).

I don't see where they bothered even thinly disguising it.

That is pretty much what it is. The problem is getting others to admit this.

Well, I think of it as like dealing with someone trying to confuse another. Thinly veiling it adds an element of confusion.

Another side of it is this. "Thinly veiling" the issue is just a sign of cowardice, of not having the courage to admitting what said person really feels in a direct way.

If that is how you see it, then please answer this.

1) What is your point?
2) What good does it do for me?
3) If both parties are going to ignore Blacks, then why complain about who Blacks vote for?
