Oh, of course. Every job I’ve had I go to a secret meeting where the boss tells me I only have to do 2% of the actual work because I’m white. We also get free houses, cars and ice cream with Skittles. Oh, almost forgot about the free gold coins. Those are great.

You get Skittles??!!??

I'm non union, but it's time to organize my sales force.

Substitute “half” for “twice” and it would be closer to a valid statement. I know how military promotion boards work, and have witnessed those ranked higher in merit dropped from a promotion list in favor of a much lower merit ranked minority in order to meet “diversity goals”. I don’t buy the “twice as hard” crap.

Twice as hard or more, the product of Zero is ALWAYS Zero.

Uh huh...I don't have a cell phone, a big screen TV or anything that is new and fancy. I only have basic cable, no magazine subscriptions, no night out at the movies, no vacation or trips, OLD siding on my house, OLD kitchen that needs remodeling JUST to qualify as stone age, OLD car, OLD prescription in my eyeglasses and I lead a pretty monastic and bare bones life, financially.

I SHOULD say that when “O” got elected, I declared and have maintained, a moratorium on discretionary spending.

I make do with whatever I have that works. Until or unless it breaks, I don't replace ANYTHING.

However, I routinely see some of these so called minority Americans living wonderfully well and with NO obvious means of making a living.

Just pulling up their pants is hard work. Then there’s the language “barrier”. Apparently they don’t teach English to black students either. And WMF is not in our vocabulary.

The phrase “you have to work twice as hard as everyone else” really jumps out at me, because these are the exact words I told my son in junior high, after he was diagnosed as being dyslexic. His eyes lit up with excitement and he said, “I can do that!”

After he graduated from college, which took him exactly 4 years, he had four job offers to chose from, all in his field. His employers all say the same thing: “He’s the best worker I’ve ever seen!”

I’ve yet to hear anyone describe Obama that way.

We have a nation with a black president, black politicians,black broadcasters, black superstars, black entertainers, black judges, intermarriage, black professors, teachers, school superintendants, police officers, firefighters, police chiefs etc. and some including the POTUS can’t get past race....give us a break already.

Or, watch ‘Judge Judy’, and the getting by is painfully evident.

Like this one. He knows the system :

Hey Moochelle....

Show me one time Barry has ever done manual labor, like a lot of us, or wasn’t
working on something where he was never the one to be held accountable...

I liked the one where the young man told Judge Judy he deserved his older girlfriend supporting him because “I’m me, that’s why”.

Political correctness does not allow us to have frank discussions of some issues, including race. Flame away.


Bingo, and therein lies the problem

The problem is that race has become culture...you cannot criticize culture without being labelled as a racist.

Every man, regardless of skin color has equal opportunity...but when they subscribe to an inferior culture, which is their choice, then they should not be looked upon as an equal.

It’s ironic to hear Obama talking about discrimination at a college that admits only blacks and only men.

That’s how it used to be.

That’s a fact. There was a time, 50’s, 60’s, when my physician of choice, was an elderly black woman. I knew she had paid-her-dues, and had gotten where she was by hard work and perserverance and skill.

Not anymore...

Free Republic has covered this issue before.
Read this:
The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States. Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death, and then have his body deported back to Kenya.

Here are some articles to assist in defining "WHO" and "WHAT" Obama IS.
But I disagree. No.
CORRECTION: Barack Obama, the first black Arab-American -Kenyan pResident of the United States.



Read Why did Youtube pull this video about Barack Obama?
and watch BREAKING NEWS! - Is Barack Obama Really A Saudi / Muslim "Plant" in the White House?.

Well, if YOU (Barack), would stop building walls around your special interest groups, so as to keep them dependent on vote buying gov’t handouts.....
