“If a minority entrepreneur is savvy enough and hard working enough to make a business survive at all, they don’t need a bloody thing from Uncle Sugar.”

Perhaps. But it doesn’t change the fact that being a minority can give one special treatment - special POSITIVE treatment - by the government or colleges. It doesn’t change the fact that banks are under pressure to give loans to minorities that they would deny to a white.

Yes, of course, lowbridge - the best of all.

Well, when my hair is wet, we call it a “Norwe-fro” (since I’m Norwegian).

Well, maybe I'm just out of the loop on such special access and treatment.

The one and only time my wife and I ever tried getting help for our business from fedgov was in our very early days. We applied for a 'micro loan' from the Small Business Administration and they turned us down flat. This, despite the fact that we were even stable homeowners at the time.

I only did it at the behest of my dad, who was twisting my arm to utilize the 'special programs' etc., for small minority-owned businesses.

Bunch of total bs, and I never wasted my time again. People talk about all this special access and help for minorities, but you can't prove it by me. I've had to bust my ass and pay my own way my whole life. And that's just fine with me.

Remember Doug Wilder, the first black gov. of Virginia? To me he was totally white looking. I was shocked when I finally saw a picture of him.

How did you know he was white looking if you hadn't seen a picture of him?

But anyway, meet Congressman Butterfield:

And of course there was Walter White of the NAACP:

And Adam Clayton Powell IV:

Angelina Jolie got grief for playing Marianne Pearl ...

... rather than having a Black or mixed-race actress, like Thandie Newton, Halle Berry, Rosario Dawson, or Jennifer Beals play the role.

But if you think about it, any American or British actress playing a Frenchwoman is a stretch. Acting, you know.

Eddie Murphy passing for white in “White Like Me”.

and in one of the parts he played in coming to America.

Eddie Murphy passing for white in “White Like Me”.

"What a silly negro."

Sorry, what I said was unclear. I had heard of Doug Wilder and knew he was gov (first black gov!!!) of VA, but I never saw a picture of him for quite a while after he was elected. I wasn’t the political junkie then that I am today.

I couldn’t see your pic of ACP IV so I google him, yeah he basically looks like a guido from Brooklyn. It’s hard to tell from the sepia pic, but those other guys look pretty white too. Esp. Butterfield, I mean his skin is quite fair, he’s like an Irishman, with the light skin and the dark hair. Like my dad actually, and my dad had curly hair, I guess my dad was more of a black man that this guy.
