Biff and Buffy are having a catered soirée at their brownstone to celebrate full vesting in their trust funds.

50 of their WASP best friends are in attendance

The catering staff is all non- White oppressed minorities. They are not to speak or make eye contact with the guests.

At 1930 hrs. an undocumented migrant from Aztlan, not familiar with chafing dishes, catches a white linen table cloth on fire which quickly spreads to the damask drapes.

The fire quickly spreads, blocking all exits. Please answer the following questions using calligraphy:

1. What is the thread count of the table cloth?

2. In what colonial enslaved country were the curtains made?

3. What wine was served with main course?

4. How many times were on the appetizer forks?

"Disparate impact" is so arbitrarily used.

Notice when it's something that liberals LIKE, like cash from the government, a test that EVERYONE takes and blacks do poorly on is de-facto "discrimination"?

But when tobacco companies are being shaken down for cash, for some reason, flavored cigarettes as in fruit-tasting are banned, they "make an exception" for menthol, which black Americans prefer.

That certainly would be "disparate impact".

I've only met a tiny amount of non-blacks that smoke Kools.

As in ONE person.

Yet another in what appears to be an endless series of racialist Black shakedowns.

“We want to be free - free to drop out of school, embrace illiteracy, join gangs, abuse drugs, get a criminal record, father children out of wedlock, and then demand to be hired.”

Next stop: Silicon Valley!

When is someone - anyone - going to stand up to these *ssclowns?

Waiting 4 lights to get into the Holland Tunnel, by a traffic person of color holding us, my bus driver opened the door to complain. The TPOC said she has been doing this for 30 years and yelled at the driver for complaining. My friend Chubby yells from the back of the bus: “That promotion must be just around the corner”

George W Bush paid lip service to opposing affirmative action, but nothing was done. He did correctly label it “the soft bigotry of lowered expectations”; if our own government and institutions refuse to treat blacks, Hispanics, and women as equal, why should anyone else? Within twenty years we will reach a point where these set-asides and quotas will have been here for as long as slavery was legal in this country; will our “preferred minorities and women” have grown up by that point?

We all know the answer to that (and they do, too).

Ha ha Only 30 more years to go! Oh man the fights I use to get in with them, I use to drive a yellow cab about 10 years ago and almost every single day those slimebags would give me a ticket. I would drop someone off and they would run up and throw a ticket in my windshield before I could drive away, or pick someone up, same thing..and I would jump out of the cab and throw myself over the windshield so they couldn’t attatch it ha ha. They’re nothing but a bunch of little thieves working for the city, robbing people with tickets. Oh and the best was one time I parked on Queens blvd around 6:55 am in the morning to run into a Dunkin donuts and get a coffee. I literally ran in, told the guy “small coffee dark no sugar” he made it for me in two seconds I gave him the exact change, ran out only to find my taxi being towed away down the street. The effin scumbag backed up a tow truck lifted my taxi and took off all in the span it took for me to get a coffee, without getting out of the truck he stole my taxi. Why? No parking after 7 am and it was 6:55 am and he lied on the ticket and said it was 7:01 am.

I think I can speak for those I'm pinging when I say I DO NOT want an affirmative action doctor operating on me or an affirmative action lawyer representing me, as examples. Affirmative action is pure and destructive poison, period.
