Generally, a government that is supposed to represent the entire nation would provide at least lip service to the fact that half the population is not male, and near half the population is not white. By being best compared to the membership at Augusta National, you give the indication that you don't care about anyone but you and your peers and their interests.
typical liberal thinking right here

Common sense is exclusively Liberal? In that case, paint me with that brush, I have no problem.

Trump's cabinet looks nothing like America FWIW. It is a reflection of Trump - a bunch of rich guys who screwed over the working class on their way to wealth.

Who said anything about affirmative action? I said get the best people. I didn't say "thou shall reflect the population" but you should at least TRY not to go out of your way to be offensively WASP.

Please point out where I said/wrote that?


Here's what I've said:

Generally, a government that is supposed to represent the entire nation would provide at least lip service to the fact that half the population is not male, and near half the population is not white. By being best compared to the membership at Augusta National, you give the indication that you don't care about anyone but you and your peers and their interests.

What, that you should get the best people, and try to be inclusive with the entire population that you're supposed to represent?


What part isn't clear?

Where I've said get the best people, or the part where at least pretend to give a crap about someone other than yourself? Neither of those are "He needs to hire more coloreds" derp derp. I didn't vote for Hillary, and trying to deflect isn't going to work. You called me out, now you defend your bs position of accusing me, or are you one of those "facts don't matter" dickholes?
