You have a gift for comedy, that's for damn sure.

Are you saying you support the slave trade???
If blacks shouldn't be here, neither should those huddled masses and wretched refuse that stumbled onto these shores from Europe. This ain't your country, so quit trying to act like you deserve something.

Now what is important is to look at the unemployment rates for both Whites and Blacks who graduate from MIT. That is where it makes a difference.

I don't "need options", I can say whatever I want, whenever I want to whomever I want as long as I'm willing to handle the consequences of what I've said. That's a choice that I make, not anyone else. Like many other people, I'm done giving a damn what might possibly offend certain people because no matter what I say or do those people will always find something to be offended by and they'll blame me for it.

I just don't care, I sleep well at night knowing that I may have possibly offended a couple stupid people by what I've said. If someone using a generic term like "negro" sends you into a rage where you consider physical confrontation to be acceptable then I've got no use for your dumb ass in my life nor do I really care what offends you. I come from a world where people have civil conversations, they talk out their problems and they resolve things like human beings.

In my opinion, until affirmative action admission polices are abolished, potential employers will view all black graduates' academic achievements with a question mark. Also, it may be legally and financially more difficult for a business to fire a black person.

Why are they so obsessed with white women? That is my only question.

Any black guy who has accomplished any level of success seems married to a white woman.

Can you back this up with evidence?

And furthermore, this is my opinion. I don't care why some people feel uncomfortable about hiring Blacks. I only care about making sure I can support myself. At the end of the day, this is MY question:

What do I do for my own survival and livelihood? How does it help me get where I need to go?
