Every time I see you guys post that shit I want to set my hair on fire.

It is not the same thing. How can you even think that?

That you cannot see the difference is the reason we cannot move forward with a healthy society.

There is a huge difference and it is very obvious to any person of normal intelligence or ethics.

I am of the same heritage as you and got every break in the world because I am white. I was always the first hired and the last fired.

Had I not been white, I am sure I would not have made it out of my town as well as I did.. Racism breaks a person down something awful.

You need to take a compassion pill, as you don't seem to have much.

<But you guys are all for quotas, affirmative action, reparations ect.< Hey, I am from Irish descent.. Were were slaves, repressed, segregated, you name it. I want my affirmative action, reparations, etc. too! How did the Irish overcome these racial, and economic biases and barriers without MSNBC, J. Jackson, and A. Sharpton and the ultra-sensitive?

LOL we had it even worse than you poor Irishmen. My people weren't even considered white in the 1920 census. Non WASP white's were persecuted considered a lower stock of people if you were from Southern, Central or Eastern Europe. I want my reparations too.. Bleeding heart WASP liberals only see the world from their vantage point. Don't get me started on the right wing and all their quite bizarre antics these days. Any wonder the majority considers themselves moderate or independent these days?
