Or that she will pull the gender discrimination card if she gets passed over for a promotion.

People over the age of 45 shouldn't be hired because eventually they will pull the age discrimination card.

Employers cannot determine if one is going to pull any kind of card, when the only card they are pulling is the "work" card.

A real man does not suck off the government teet.
If real men don't suck off the "government teet" then could you please tell me why the majority of welfare recipients in the U.S are white? Stop Freeloading!

Most nonwhites have had maybe two generations of prosperity at best.
What is your definition of "wealth"? Do you seriously believe that all white people have some kind of accumulated wealth? That this wealth grows over time and then it is passed down from generation to generation? There are plenty of white people who die without leaving any "wealth" behind.

If someone worked hard and bought a home and left that home to an offspring, is that "wealth"? Many white people don't have life insurance, and those that do take out enough insurance to pay for their funeral costs and burial, not enough to leave their children "wealthy".

If there is so much wealth amongst white people, why didn't they use that wealth to pay off their mortgages rather than lose their home to foreclosure? How come so many white people have dropped from middle class and hover above the poverty line or now are considered living in poverty? Why are there so many homeless white people, including families?

I guess I need to go back through my family history and find out where the hell they hid that wealth that wasn't passed down to me.

Real men don't suck off the government teet. White, black who cares, they are all freeloaders.

White men shouldn't be hired because they may be passed over for the token black or woman. White men might pull the reverse discrimination card.

Perfect, no one has to work, Obama and big government can pay for everything. Problem solved!

there is a Bill Cosby thread that already exist like that.

If only it worked that way in America, but it doesn't. He wasn't even raised by his African father and still identifies himself as an AA. I applaud the fact that he's not running around like some idiots saying he's of mixed background and trying to be both or the lesser of either which some experts say is detrimental to your overall mental health, he clearly knows who he is and if he didn't he definitely wouldn't be POTUS, he is very proud of his ancestry both Black and White but a white man he is not so why would he play up his White side when he's lived his life as anything but?

I wouldn't expect anything less than assumptions and judgement from the person you just replied to. Said person has a very low opinion about Blacks in general and judges them based on the President. I wouldn't expect anything different.

Do you have to work harder? Sure. Twice as much? Meh...i doubt it.
Gotta work harder, eh?

To win the admissions board's approval at that time, he said, a white applicant had to present SAT section scores higher than 600 (out of 800); a transcript of A's and B's; and a strong background of leadership in sports and student life, reflected in a four-digit score called the whole-person multiplier. Black and Hispanic students were routinely admitted with SAT scores in the 500s; with B's and C's; and lower whole-person multipliers, he said.
