With that being said, I give you my signature statement:

I don't get it.
No harm no foul.

Many people won't get it, that's the beauty of diversity of opinion. I am also a veteran of the USN and as a fellow veteran, I wish you well.

We simply have a difference of opinion and perception of our genetic roots. No harm no foul. I respect your right to hold those beliefs, and I would expect that you would respect mine.

I'm not sure of you have children or not, but maybe when you have a child and he is fighting for a piece of a pie that gets smaller and smaller every day to due globalization, maybe then you will understand where I am coming from when I speak about race-based affirmative action that affects millions of lower and middle class white people.

If not, I agree to disagree. Again, thanks for a reasonable discussion. They are rare to find these days. I definitely misjudged you, so again, I apologize.
Teach your child he or she is not entitled to anything. Problem solved.

My post was about rights to be free from state sponsored racism, freedom of association, freedom of speech, and the fight to preserve the liberties our ancestors bestowed upon us. I understand you want me to "live peacefully" and shut up, but I believe in diversity of opinions and freedom of speech. Don't you value diversity, comrade?
Does that include our black, native American, Asian and Mexican ancestors as well, Tim? Or is the color of our skin the only thing that counts among us?

I value diversity. I have a lot of it running in my family tree.
The fact that my lineage was 90% white Scots-English didn't count for much once my grand-pappies touched down on these shores. It didn't take their descendants very long to marry into other racial strains, and we did expand our gene pool quite nicely.

How about you, comrade? Are we shoulder to shoulder as proud Americans, you and me?

Lots of crying, butt hurt, and race baiting so it must be business as usual for the wing nuts.

I think the problem is that a lot of whites feel marginalised by current societal trends. I am a liberal, but with parents of a conservative background who have seen considerable social changes (and opportunities worsen for their offspring) I do understand their concerns and am not so arrogant to cast them aside as white supremacists.

Why and how are things worse for white people?
Is it because now,everyone else has a chance to become successful?
Why do some whites consider 50 years ago good,when the goverment had a racist policy in place that kept other's down?

is I don't think AA is giving anyone else special advantages. Its just leveling the playing field.
Why wasn't anyone complaining when the Usa goverment had sanctioned racism 50 years ago? (Separate but Equal)

Maybe you should have said white males are at a disadvantage.
Last I read,white females benefit more from AA than anyone else....

Perhaps you should spend a little more time becoming familiar with the Constitution and a little less feigning outrage.

Exactly! - Thank you!
Time for the GOP to wake the F up and get out of their caves.

Where is the diversity of opinions on the Left/Democrats? I don't see it and it will never happen. You are either pro illegal/open borders, high taxes, pro gay, anti-rich, anti-capitalism, anti-business, pro welfare or you are out of the Left/Democratic party.
