Quote by: Chancellor  No, not all white people talk about being a colorblind society and many whites don't want it. A nation divided against itself will not stand. If you want to be something other than American then get the hell out of my country! I don't give a rat's behind what color someone is or where one's ancestors came from: if you were born in the United States or are a naturalized citizen then you're an American and that is the only identity on which protections under the Constitution (e.g. those in the 14th amendment) are based. |
What are you talking about? A lot of this is total non-sequitur. If I want to be something other than American? What does that mean, my friend? I'm an American. Is that some kind of threat?

Quote by: B1NKS I believe in equality under the law, period. Everyone has the same rights by law. There should not be special privileges or government favoritism toward any groups of people, whether white or black. Somehow that's racist, go figure |
Which is exactly the same point I am arguing. Funny, two sides of the same coin? But it isn't about equal "rights" under the law. It is about equal treatment under the law. It is illegal for both Blacks and Whites to snort cocaine, and their is a larger white population using the drug in the united states, but Black people are suffering disproportionately in prisons. That seems way more socially inequitable, violent, and unfair practice than Affirmative Action. Do you agree?
