I gotta laugh at the arrogance and hidden pre-judging (Prejudice) of people. What makes you think it is a black/white issue? Notice that I'm posting from the Southwest?
This ain't your Northern Folksy racism bit, Grow Up!
Look at President Obama's tax plan, taxing what works. If ever I saw "Institutional Racism" at work, I have now. (Remember the bit about how stimulus money is not to go only to white construction workers?)
I am amazed at how Banking and credit card institutions pulled back credit lines of minorities and nonwhites, months ago. As if the CEOs of the country knew what is coming.
I saw it in the faces of friends, neighbors and relatives from the West Coast to East Coast. These people depended on the credit lines to do business. Profitable, taxable business that keeps America running. These same people, business men and women, are ready to do anything to get their bills straightened out and the kids taken care of.
It seems real odd to me that a gov't official makes an off hand race based comment, a few months go by and poof! ground work is laid for a platform for minorities to get work. Opposite of supporting those who already have steady jobs and lifestyles being profitable, competitive and supporting the local communities.
I have no smoking gun or quotes from reputable sources. My comments are that of my own and observations that I have seen over the last twelve plus months.
*Parting shot: If anyone have an issue with what I post, in any forum, please PM me for further explanations or look into yourself to figure out why hate/confusion/issues rule you.
Don't you people get it? We are all in this together! Red Fvcking, White and blue.
