We've had this debate before, you and I. My position is that the US caters to niggers and other minorities.....and it's wrong. It's a waste. It's not helping. It's the very definition of insanity. Other repubs will NOT approach or talk about such things. Your position is that race isn't to be taken seriously......merit is king. And I agree with part of that. However, we can't move past shit like this, without address the issue that is the elephant in the room...........RACE. By refusing to say 'Look, I'm sick of the nigger shit. I'm sick to death of it.'.....you give silent approval to such programs. You can say.......'look, just stop the fucking bullshit, and get back to the constitution'......but that's only PART of the issue. Why? Because IF that was to happen, and these programs would cease........the public out cry would be huge.......the headlines will read "Niggers hit hardest by massive cuts'.......The repubs would then back off. Don't deny that......because we've got a track record of doing just that. Following the 'equality' clauses in the constitution, is what has LED to such offices being created. Race, is central to this. Ending such shenanigans can't happen, until people are willing to say 'Enough of the nigger shines'. IMVHHO. It's not a personal call out to you bigac. It's more of a call out to repubs in general. I just used some of the repubs here at DLP for specifics.
