How many times were you turned down because a crack-addicted pimp who left school at 12 to live on welfare and spells English even worse than you do was allocated the last available plot for a hot-dog stall, even though they serve goat-curry as well, which clearly discriminates against the whites because they don't eat such garbage? It is outrageous, it really is.

And then they spout racism against the whites and accuse them of prejudice and discrimination, as if whites had been better off and still get most of the better paid jobs. White Christian US citizens are the oppressed of the world in the 21st century.

Gawd, don't you just hate them niggas?

KID speaks true about the job issues, just as I did previously where you or your sidekick RC slammed me for using my "woman" card to get a job, which I never have or ever will. The race quota is real in jobs, schools, even gov housing. A lovely lass at a local shop needs to work two jobs to make ends meet. She got turned down for PT work as a meal delivery person at a hospital -- she found out that non-English-speaking refugees were hired. WTF?

I 'slammed' you for claiming that was all you had going for yourself in PC Canada.
Still harping on with this ridiculous claim?

I guess there is no other work she could possibly do which the refugees have no access to?
How many % are the quotas, how often are equally or better qualified people turned down? Put the facts rather than anecdotes and resentment-fuelled generalisations on the table if you want to discuss this sensibly.

As I said in a followup post, that is what the recruiter told me.

The point is, Stroll, shouldn't she have first dibs on a local job, especially cause she speaks English and they don't? Oh, right, our hospitals are stuffed full of new immigrants feeding off our "free" healthcare system, so maybe better to have more non-English/French speaking staff.

Obama weathers Wright storm as new details emerge

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A controversy over Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's former pastor has not hurt Obama, a new poll found on Thursday, even as more potential trouble surfaced involving his church.

A poll by the Pew Research Center said videos of sermons by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama's subsequent speech on race in America last week have attracted more public attention than any events thus far in the 2008 presidential campaign.

The March 19-22 survey of 1,503 American adults found that despite the flap, Illinois Sen. Obama had maintained a 49 percent to 39 percent advantage over New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Obama weathers Wright storm as new details emerge | Politics | Reuters

Seems to be panning out how I guessed- the 'Righteous Indignants' are those who are implacably opposed to Obama anyway, be it on the grounds he is a Democrat, or his policies, or that he is racially mixed. So they will grasp at anything. Most people, while not impressed by Rev. Wrights rhetoric, do not blame it on Obama- or so the Polls say.

Hillary seems to care nothing for the Democrat party, rather her own ego and 'win at all costs' attitude. She should drop out of the race- frankly her candidacy is dead in the water. There is even speculation that she would rather divide the Dem's and hand the Presidency to McCain rather than have the next President being Obama- because this would give her another shot in the next Presidential elections.

Incidentally, why is it the same Posters saying that the racial card should not be played in the US elections are the same one's playing the racial card here?

I don't think it's relevant to the topic:

There are no such quota in Germany, nor are there quotas for employing immigrants in the US.
I am not a fan of quota systems myself, this has been discussed in another thread.

On the other hand, while the U.S. has made huge strides in achieving equal opportunity in employment -- and things have gotten better -- racial discrimination persists. Many argue that it has simply taken subtler forms.

Stroller, this isn't a jab at you, I'm just curious. Have you spent much time in the US? Have your visits spanned several decades? Or are your opinions based on things you've read?

From my point of view, racial discrimination in the US is a fraction of what it was in the 70s. It will never disappear and it exists wherever races mix, in my country and yours. Incidentally, the most vicious hatred among races in the US is not white-black, but black-Asian.

and considering you're in your mid forties now, what the hell do you know about discrimination in the seventies? you were in your mid teens at the end of the decade.

not that it matters because there is absolutely no accountability in issues anymore, but i'm calling 'bullshit'.

Boon mee,

Juxtaposing the 1960s, with today - 40 years later.

You're losing credibility - honestly, did you ever have it?

Simple question for y'all:

Does Obama have the Black Panther Party represented on his website or does he not?

Dunno booner, don't really care. Would most White Supremacists be voting for McCain by any chance? Don't care either- there ain't that many of those retards anyway.

Care to provide a, y'know, Linky or something for this New Black Panthers party? And then explain why it matters?
