Your both right. The laws work both ways. The way the laws are written and especially enforced today, the whiteman is more forced discriminated against, that any other race of citizens on US soil, today.

Please list the businesses you think will return to the days of racial discrimination.

Augusta?

Would the Miss Black America contest be one? They are always trying to keep the white man down by denying us a spot in the pageant.

American Idol? They have an age range limit don't they? I may have to stop watching it.

Sue them then.

We've gone so far out of the way so as not to appear racist or discriminatory, affirmative action being a prime example. What has it accomplished except to instill an attitude in certain groups that they are "owed" simply because of their color or gender.

Businesses have suffered because of quotas that keep some of the most qualified candidates from being hired. Tests have been dumbed down and that's hurt everyone.

Privately owned businesses should have the right to hire anyone they choose. If they feel that one group or another isn't for them for any reason it should be their option to keep them out.

We've kissed the a**es of minorities long enough. All the bowing and scraping to
the ungrateful hasn't gotten us anywhere. We've only created generations that are so used to not having to compete on a level playing field they've become lazy and arrogant. Obama himself is a perfect example of this.

This is what is known as a "lie". It's considered bad form.

Yup, ever hear of that phrase, "I'm free, white and over 21?" Yes, there are many people who believe they are owed everything because they are white males.......

Yes, I remember when the quota was white males only......many unqualified white males had positions instead of qualified women and minorities.....

Then these businesses deserve absolutely no support or business of any type from any government entity or any business that receives any support whatsoever from government.

He must have made a lot of sense in his explanation of the accusations. He won the upcoming elections(primary and general) in grand fashion.

He makes a very good point, that taking freedom from someone, just to make someone else feel better, is not liberty. It is oppression.

As much as they try, and god knows they have tried, they will never re-engineer human nature, or mother nature. It just makes us all weaker as a species.
