Affirmative Action

I'm damned tired of racial issues.
I've said before, one of the things I hoped for when this man was elected President was that in our country, all would realize that all things were possible for ALL people if they applied themselves and were prepared to take advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves. Say what you want about him...
Bozo certainly was smart enough to take advantage of the opportunities that fell at his feet.
But now we have members of the "Gimme" generation soiling people's lawns and businesses all over the nation.
Hope and change...
I'm sure we all hoped things would change for the better.
Is it better?
You tell me.

At some point a proud people will begin to realize you're not equal if you're a guy playing golf, competing against your friends while hitting your initial drives from the women's tees.
Then, and only then, will racial issues begin to improve in this country.

Racial minorities need a unifying leader.
That leader needs to be able to say "Yes we can!", and MEAN it.

This Equal Opportunity crap! Imagine you are a success via hard work and developed skills. Then your accomplishments are sneered at because, "You got it because your ____ (black, latino, asian,female) Equal Opportunity preference. I'm thankful I'm a redneck; nobody questions how I got what I have.

WSF nailed it, the problem is, they WANT what we have spent our lifetimes earning... And I'm NOT willing to give it up without a fight.

The tee placement was a damn fine analogy. Like CnC, I prefer the Hermanator to Willard. Yes, it would be another black guy without political chops. Bet it would turn out better for everyone but the perpetually grieved....
