We've been on that list for a while now.

Three sheets...hehe

You were supposed to keep that under your hat. I mean your hood. Big mouth.

how do you read pillow cases...haha that was a joke kh.

it's affirmative Action and the DoD "teaching " materials on "hate" that's three sheets, if you ask me

and it was all stained because drycleaners suck at getting stains out!

There is a current article about the Department of Defense training manual that states, directly from the text:

"A statement that “Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”

Let's see: "..talk of individual liberties, state's rights, and how to make the world a better place."

That makes almost everyone in here a terrorist, and a threat.

Exactly.

Which is all the proof you need that Affirmative Action is racist.

Did you ever get your white hood back from the cleaners?

Last I remember, you had to use a pillow case with two holes cut out...and it was so embarrassing. ;-)

and you're using the DoD teaching materials to ACCURATELY place Buchanan as an extremist? One would think you could find better materials than a left wing nut organization spoon feeding the government definitions of "hate groups" in your discerning.

The denial of a biased media was all that I needed to see...no cred here, keep moving on.

It is against the law to not answer that question on the Census.

There is no sense in being an apologist for minorities. I am in the minority where I live and do not need special attention paid to my skin color to move ahead. I believe that is part of the point of the post. I also will not support laws and regulations which limit my own freedoms. That was Buchanan's point. Is he a provocateur? Sure, he's in show business. Can we have the discussion? Well less frequently if people use intimidation tactics claiming racist! As a matter of fact, Buchanan's opinion is barely heeded on this topic, compared to President Obama who makes a racist statement a week as our number 1 statesman! Where was your thumbs down on that article last week? Bottom line: all sorts of people discriminate for all sorts of different reasons. It's life. Who would want to work for someone anyway who was discerning employees or potential students for a stupid reason? For example, in the first case you cited, the charge was theft. The fact the white employees sued the company and their case was heard based on Title VII shows how absurd some of our laws are. Thieves should expect to lose their jobs if they steal. Actually they were damned luckily they didn't go to jail! What the heck does Affirmative Action have to do with it??
Those last two questions. Are they directed to me? MY focus would be on speaking out on a legal system that allows someone to steal from their employer and turn around and sue for their job back. ALL of them should have been fired. The fact the company had an onerous responsibility to retain the black employee who stole IS the focus.

I am not going to read all the cases. It does seem that there are only a handful compared to the overall number.

Excellent. And thank you.

You never have to identify your race on those government forms.

I choose "two or more" on employment forms because I believe that refusing to identify looks like non-compliance to an employer and they do not want to hire trouble-makers. So, I comply.

But you can ignore the questions about race and gender entirely.

The "white sheet" refers to Buchanan's ignorant self-identified "white" followers who claim "reverse discrimination." They are emotionally invested in their definition of their so-called "race."

See the DoD warnings about extremists. They see themselves as persecuted. Read "The True Believer" a book sold by the old NBI Bookstore, as I recall.

Myself, I never see it, not institutionally. I have seen all kinds of discriminations personally and individually based on size, shape, gender, schooling, college alma mater (or lack thereof), college fraternity (or lack), religion, ethnicity, military service, employment status... One time at a Blue Cross/ Blue Shield office where I was on a contract, the manager I reported to asked me if I went to church. Stuff like that happens all the time. Do you want to work for someone (1) so stupid that he cares whether you goto church or not and (2) so damned stupid that he doesn't care if he and BC/BS could get sued over that? I was out the door and that was fine. No sense in making a federal case out of it...

There's a scene in _The Fountainhead_ where the bad guys are bitching about Roark and one of the architects says, "You're just mad because he doesn't notice you." and the other one (Gus Webb, I think), says, "He'd notice me if I hit him over the head with a club." and the first one replies, "No. He would just blame himself for not stepping out of the way of the club."

Where is your focus? Who is your focus?

Hear hear!

Geeze...get your facts straight!

Which is what I do...but if you WANT an advantage, and you know you will get one, most will happily give up that info and be happy that they're getting a leg up on someone else for no good reason.

I stand corrected. The first case is under Title VII.

and you never have to answer. You always can decline to identify your race and your gender.

Why would you vote the discussion down when you clearly want to discuss it? I am happy to discuss. I agree with court rulings. However, in practice, Affirmative Action definitely discriminates. and not against just whites. How about Asians? The initial case you cite is a civil rights issue, not an affirmative action case which is the subject of the discussion on McLaughlin. The last case was upheld by the 5th circuit that the university made their decision in "good faith." After all, Affirmative Action is a Law! By law, they are to weigh applicants of of minority status heavier than non-minority status. If this was not the case, in almost every govt form you fill out it would not be necessary to ask your race! Look at any employment section of the newspaper to see that companies and federal and state employers scream for minority applicants for positions.
Finally, "This is a thin cloak, a lot like a white sheet, in fact." Is this comment directed to LS? It is offensive.

Stop reading and look around you. Fox news is quite fair and balanced in my opinion. Bill O'Reilly has some pretty good educational creds. You should get a thumbs down for the name calling and stereotyping. Think I'll just read elsewhere.
