Well no that's strictly the mission from folks who don't post on any thread without racial diversity.... They tend to start throwing out information as if it was facts using numbers grabbed out of the air. Most people are good and have good intentions....some people will never be satisfied with their failures and till the day they die will look for anyone to blame but themselves.

The PR wing of the Obama Permanent Campaign aka Mainstream Media missed this one.

I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers. … I have nothing against white male construction workers. I’m just saying that there are a lot of other people who have needs as well. … Criteria can be set so that the money does go to others, the long term unemployed minorities, women, people who are not necessarily construction workers or high-skilled professionals.

How very comical. R Reich was not saying that unskilled people should be assigned engineering jobs or jobs for which they're not qualified. Somewhere in there you must know this.

I'm sure it's fun to wallow in resentment but wouldnt a little honesty refresh your palate sometimes?

Thank you for corroborating my point. Neither approach is acceptable.
What a black construction worker has in common with a white construction worker is that they are BOTH unemployed. Officials that promote divisiveness by focusing on color are not addressing the real problem, which is unemployment fostered by government manipulation.

Pretending it's going to be solved by holding hands and singing "Com Bi Yah" doesn't cut it, especially when the hypocrisy of promoting one group over another is the covert agenda.

This has to be the most whining site that I've ever been on, you sit on this site accusing non-whites (especially blacks) of just wanting a free hand out. Then you turn around and whin about a plan that will create an equal opportunity for everyone, why be so f-ing greedy!

White men just have it so hard cry me a f-ing river

It's rather obvious why it's a problem especially coming a from a governement who with civil rights has come up with things like Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) - HUD.

I thought the argument before the election was there are more whites on welfare than blacks... Statistics proved it... Is that all the sudden not the case?

Wouldn't (if going by what he said) if you wanted people to spend the money you would go by class instead of color. The mere mentioning of color in a decision making process from a government employee or government funded research program violates just about everything to do with civil rights and what they have fought for.

Obama was fighting to have stuff like that removed from the police programs. Racial profiling...






Joke of the day:
*Paying taxes is patriotic unless you are about to run the IRS then it's a burden*
