Bogus argument--for decades blacks have benefitted from affirmative action. BO is a product of that social engineering project. The US has spent billions to assuage unnecessary guilt feelings and pacify chronically angry minorities...it's rarely appreciated or acknowledged. Get over the guilt feelings Kenneth--groups have suffered discrimination at every moment in world history: Irish by the English, Jews by Muslims, Catholics by Protestants and earlier Protestants by Catholics, etc. The groups that dwell on it become self-destructive by developing a permanent victim mentality. They find it useful to fall back on that excuse whenever something goes wrong in their lives, instead of holding themselves and their community accountable like independent mature adults. Those living today cannot be held responsible for centuries old injustices, either financially or mentally through guilt. Yes we Can! unshackle ourselves from the chains of political correctness.
