Chicago - On Wednesday, Chicago mayoral candidate James Meeks said that only African-Americans should be able to participate in affirmative action programs-- and that Hispanics, Asians, and women should be excluded.

ElRushbo was right about how A-A sees a minority.

[mrmeyer]

The smallest minority is the individual. This guy is the poster boy for stupidity.

[skeeter]

This could get interesting.

What about african American wimmin? Where they go?

[RobRoy]

OMG this guy is a racist. They don’t even try to hide it any more.

Victim competitions — where the winner is actually the loser. “Affirmative action to begin tomorrow ... women and minorities hardest hit.”

Affirmative Action: Hardworking minorities need not apply.

>>This could get interesting.<<

I agree. And the articles below could apply to Chicago more than anywhere else:

It seems candidate Meeks and I are in partial agreement. I also think Asians, Hispanics and women should be excluded from affirmative action programs.

But why stop there?

That's until the dream act goes through..

a 'minority' is any voter the left can convince is a 'victim' of some hated 'majority'. To the left, 'minority' equates to TOOL.

That’s why our numbers cannot improve, because we use women, Asians and Hispanics, who are not people of color, who are not people who have been discriminated against. We fought for these laws based on discrimination. Now, groups that have not been discriminated against are the chief beneficiaries.

Hmmm...

I think all Americans should claim to be a part of a “protected class.” But then, I’m not content to call, email, fax, rally, etc. against a government out-of-control.

[Don Corleone]

Ahhh Chicago...what would we do for laughs if you and Obama weren’t around?

[SteamShovel]

The African American race hustlers (JJ, Al Sharpton, etc) have instilled a racism in the black community that they simply cannot see for themselves.

As you show, the American Indians are the #1 harmed minority in our history. The black community doesn't even acknowledge it.

[Husker24]

I think all White people, when asked for racial information for some reason, should claim to be Black. Remember the so called one drop rule? Make them prove that your not Black. All kinds of opportunities could present themselves.

[anniegetyourgun]

There are SO many opportunities for such civil disobedience, but alas, there is no stomach for it. Americans are busy going to rallies in D.C. & then breaking their arm patting themselves on the back for being patriots. The game changed on 11/4/08, and conservatives just keep playing by the old rules.

[Venturer]

Take a peek at a picture of James Meeks. It should answer any question as to where his attitude comes from

We be entitled, Don’t Chew know that?
