I think lioninaconcretejungle is doing a great job of messing with people's minds on here...you have to remember you're on a forum and it could be anyone writing those posts with a sick sense of humor.

V, you are dead on it man. I could not agree more.


quote=Veltz;3398887]Lets be honest, it almost certainly seems that way often times.

White America while being brainwashed to believe they are evil and any racial homogeneity for Whites is evil all-whilst other groups are told to unite baby Blacks and treat them like children. Most don't realize it but they do... and we lower standards and such for Blacks so people who underperform can enter programs that aren't meant for them.

Hell, it seems in debate Whites are even afraid to offer up a view which differs from that of a 'minority.'

The people who forced P.C nonsense on us have certainly done their job and they've done it well. The poster I quoted shows this.[/quote]

quote=Delta Planter;3402528]The question is back atcha: Are YOU intimidate by competent blacks? How about competent whites? How about competent yellows, or reds, or browns?[/quote]

What are your thoughts on Affirmative Action, doesn't matter who is more qualified just give the black person the job?

Or give it to the woman. You do know that women, yes even white ones, benefit from AA right?

It seems these days it is the minorities being racist. Just look at these boards and it is easy to see it.
