"You want to see diversity in action? Go to India."

You want to see a single race in action? Go to Nazi Germany. Wait, they have been wiped off the face of the earth. Let's try again.

You want to see a single race in action? Go to Apartheid South Africa. Wait, they have been wiped off the face of the earth. Let's try again.

You want to see a single race in action? Go to Fascist Italy. Wait, they have been wiped off the face of the earth. Let's try again.

Actually, let's not.

They couldn't say bigoted and democrat in the same sentence? At any rate, of course some FReepers would say Maddox was a good man because they have his mentality.

To be honest, it goes into the "life's not fair, we're working on it - want to help?" column for me.

*This is my view also. There are worse things that could happen to a person in life. Before blacks were even allowed to go to school, many were self educating themselves. My relatives who came from Italy were severely discriminated against even more than blacks in New York City. I myself, I was bullied and sexually attacked for eating curry fish and being half white and knowing 3 times 8 is 24. So you did not get into the school of your dreams? SUCK IT UP and reapply.

Hey! You forgot the United States of America.

Single race in action?? A bunch of white European white guys??

Founded a constitutional government with gaurantees never given to the common man before?? Does it ring a bell?

Fought a civil war to abolish slavery so the decendents of those slaves could get quotas?? Is it coming back to you now??

Beat a bunch on bad guys in Europe more than once?? Maybe you heard about it?? It was in all the papers.

Helped to get rid of apartheid in South Africa so single race black guys could decimate what single race white guys built up?? Any of this sound familiar?

Your maniacal rants betray your complete inability to grasp this one truism - that nearly every race, creed, and religion of the world has fought, sweat, built, and died to make this nation great.

Without them this country would be nothing.

Stop taking credit for things that people who were totally unrelated to you did 300 years ago. You had nothing to do with them.

Focus on what it took to sustain and grow their vision.

And then go take your meds.

Bump. Oh gosh, I wish I could bump these paragraphs right to the TOP of Maureen Dowd's next silly sophmoric screed, but we've gotta be realistic. The ghost of Jayson Blair lives at the NYT: The biggest recipient of "affirmative action" there is the doofus drunken white girl who keeps writing the same "shreiking adolescent" column over and over again. Sad.
