I'm Greg Graffin would object to being used as a prop for Nazis.

Affirmative action is the very definition of racism.

Um, no. If their race was superior, they wouldn't need help up the ladder.

I was right.

There is a reason that Colin Powell and Condi Rice support it.

So I went and read what they thought about it. This is an interesting read about Condi. I wasn't aware that she grew up in Alabam during what could be considered their most vile time in history (pertaining to racism). There are snippets that support both side of this discussion.

 "I would rather be ignored than patronized," I said, pointing to the tendency of the Democratic Party to talk about "women, minorities, and the poor." I hated identity politics and the self-satisfied people who assumed that they were free of prejudice when, in fact, they too could not see beyond color to the individual.

Things are complex.

I believe it's not super easy to be black in this country...for many.

Not easy for people of any color, why do you insist leaving out the whole picture?

Also, keep in mind, these are snippets pulled and picked from one politician with an self serving agenda, not a representation of the entire group. The old "well this black person says" thing is more white privilege talking. Do yourself a favor, go to the library and start reading Black history. Go out and talk to people, actual black people in black communities. Learn, not just from what supports your point of view picked from the internet. Again, joining the military is a great way to learn about racism, privilege etc. The military's Equal Opportunity institute is second to none and they really stress ethics. I think it is one of the greatest things I took away from my time in the Army.

Um, no. If their race was superior, they wouldn't need help up the ladder. OH MY GOD... DO WHITE people need help up the ladder???? DO THEY??? Or do they have Privilege so that they don't need the same help that a non-white needs??? Is there such a thing as white privilege??? The Progressives believe so... they think the poor dark races NEED HELP UP THE LADDER, We WHITES ARE PRIVILEGED and don't need help up the ladder. AND HERE IT IS THE DEFINITION OF RACIST: IF The RACE IS SUPERIOR it doesn't need help up the ladder. Which leaves us with IF THE RACE IS INFERIOR IT DOES NEED help up the ladder.. There are many Progressives saying that NAZIS should not have rights... Lets start with the NAZIS that believe the white race is superior and so needs no help like those other Races...
