LMAO...i hope like hell that's not what you're saying. But in fact, it IS what you're saying.
Its more like blacks will not be the best qualified in his and all conservatives minds. Its code.

Probably everyone one them were dead before they were 30 with some of them dead before they teenagers. Both the children and the adults would have been treated much worse than your average slave because they were expendable unlike a slave who was considered property. I know your argument is going to be they had choice but do you really think a mother is is going to choose to let their 10 year old boy work in such harsh conditions?

The point is rich white man exploited everyone, not just blacks.
Let me ask you something. The guy standing there with the stick,do you think he is conservative or liberal?

So if the real money makers were black...diversity wouldn't matter in regards to the 1,000 hired under them??

LOL....the logic is an epic FAIL throughout this thread and people really need to work on their transparency.

So far what we've learned in this thread today....
  • Diversity is good and every employer should strive for it....competence is secondary.
  • There is ALWAYS a black or minority equally or more qualified to a caucasian applicant....even if the hiring pool of blacks to whites is significantly less
  • The immensely disproportionate number of black athletes to white athlets in the NBA, NFL and Boxing is "not black peoples fault"....even though nobody in this thread ever stated it was LOL
  • Affirmative action was "tried" in the NBA in favor of caucasians and they "didn't like it"....but that was OK because the majority of owners are white.
  • There is a huge diversity problem in the NBA and NFL in terms of athletes but that's OK because all the players are black
  • There is a huge diversity problem in the NBA an NFL in terms of ownership and that's NOT OK because virtually all owners are white

So when does this thread get thrown in the trash where it belongs?

Don't worry I'm sure it will be closed meanwhile the what black guys think never mind...........Im sure that once every and any white person of any qualification at all including how many qualify(by being born) that then conservatives will say give blacks the jobs that are left......unless one of the white employees wants two jobs then lets wait untill........blah blah. When will the truth be admitted to

I'm conservative, that's bunk. I don't believe in tenure and I think all teachers should be tested for competence on a regular basis. Principals should have much more power to do what's necessary. End busing and bring back neighborhood schools with the voucher being the last resort for the rare genius. Meritocracy on all levels and for all. If a kid is not cutting the classroom by 14 then send him to vocational training like germany and Taiwan does.

Says a lot. Either way, why complain? All it would have taken was 2 votes for some other person for them to win. If only one person voted, then nobody as any cause to complain.

ROTFLMAO, who needs to search for AMMO, when it gets handed to you?

Obama had ZERO foreign policy experience. I Guess that makes Cain a candidate on equal footing....

What proof do you have his 999 plan would not have worked. Almost ANYTHING is better than what we have now, and it IS a darned sight more balanced.

If everyone paid the same percentage in taxes, Businesses would HATE him.

Besides, ANY taxes they pay, are paid by the consumer's ANYWAY, since ALL costs get passed to us anyway, so it really wouldn't change anything.

I would suggest the single vote probably came from himself and keep in mind it was a write in vote, he wasn't listed on the ballot. The party split in this area is 60/30. It's heavy Democrat so there is lot of apathy in the Republican party, this is one of those situations where the same thing has happened year after year until now and it was just taken for granted. You can guarantee there will be someone on the ballot next time. Having said that it's not your standard brand of Democrat here. A Democrat in this area is very likely to be religious and own a gun.
