[quote=So Boerd] >White Government>Black President, Black AG, Black president immune from critiscm because of skin color, affirmative action legal and endorsed. [/quote] Obama is half-black. I guess if you're going by the One Drop rule then yes, he's a black president. Or if you take into account his willingness to idenitify fully with his black racial background then I suppose you're even more correct. However, Obama isn't immune to criticism. A brief gander at the news and a quick stroll through the internet will tell you that. [quote=The Nexerus] Yes, and there are also specific businesses and economical practices that give preferential treatment to Africans or Jews or Asians or... you get the idea. You've successfully established that racist people exist, and some of them are employers.The point that I expressed remains. The only codified racism in the Western world is affirmative action, and affirmative action is almost invariably directed against Europeans. [/quote] I'm not concerned with Europe. I'm concerned with the US. And given Europe's less-than-stellar historical dealings with the racial groups that you've listed (and those that are implied but were not mentioned), I'm finding it incredibly difficult to sympathize with any European that is 'harmed' by affirmative action given that said European is most likely benefiting from the generations of conquest and expansionism that saw the various old empires of that landmass rise to economical and martial prowess. Also, I strongly doubt a privileged majority is harmed by affirmative action considering minority groups in the US are still fighting an uphill battle even with these 'advantages' people enjoy pointing out. Actually they aren't even advantages. They're more like 'equalizers' if anything, but even using that phrase is being exceptionally generous.
