Aren't you the guy who fired people who voted for Obama? (Really, I can't remember if you did, or if you just advocated it and defended it as being the owner's right.) If we wiped out non-discrimination laws tomorrow, would you hire qualified minority candidates, or would you just consider that up to the owner's discretion? I'd be perfectly happy to do away with non-discrimination laws, as soon as I didn't see the reports about people sent out with identical resumes or financial histories, only to see the minority not get an interview, or the vacant apartment. To say that the only racists are Democratics and the NAACP seems naive at best. BTW, if Republicans were race-blind, why the southern strategy? Why the inner city "welfare queen" stereotype (the typical welfare recipient is white, rural, and has a birth rate only slightly higher than the non-welfare community)? Why are there no black Republicans in Congress? Why is the Tea Party overwhelmingly white? (I'm talking 99% white.) If Republicans are race-blind and welcoming to minorities, why are there so few? I do think the Democratic party institutions take minority report for granted, and according to David Kuo, the Republicans lost a real chance to gather in a lot of black members through the Faith Based Initiatives. Church members said that it was the first time they felt listened to. Unfortunately, Bush kept promising money that was immediately reduced or eliminated outright as part of the budget process. quote:
ORIGINAL: cuckoldmepls Got news for you folks. The democratic party is the party of racists, since they use race as a crutch. The only true way to eliminate racism is to forget about race, and view every legal citizen as an American. Even the NAACP is racist since they only lobby for legislation that primarily benefits them. The black Caucus in Congress is also racist, since they won't allow white members. This is why republicans at one time were trying to eliminate affirmative action, but soon realized the racist wouldn't allow it.
