Default Affirmative Action Question

So if the country continues the way it is going white people will be a minority pretty soon. When it happens, does that make them eligible for affirmative action?

I would like to think so but I doubt it. It was around when I graduated HS and now 35 years later MY kids now have to deal with it. What has always got me was the quota part of AA that a less qualified person would get a job over a more qualified one because their a minority. I think it was a good idea 40-50 years ago but has out lived its usefullness.

Hopefully, when that happens, we'll be more like South Africa and protect the rights of the minority race (at least under the law). Affirmative action would only be necessary if we codify discrimination as was the case not too long ago, and is still the case in more subtle ways.

Ah, so you're saying you hate the notion that white people could ever be treated equally under the eyes of the law and you want to do everything you can to see to it that that never happens by further expanding racist laws. Hmmmm..... Not sure I agree...

Hey, I'm just giving the ole' "Patters Maneuver" a try, poor boy..!! Just because the limitations of your cognitive development can't realize this is not my fault.

Heh heh... the "Patters Maneuver"... good gravy, if that term isn't calling for a wise-crack of some sort, then I don't know what is..!! But I shall refrain...

White Bastards In Maine:

Have you ever,
Have you ever eaten "Barbecued Bob Cat Bowels"

Have you ever gone "Blueberry Picking" with a women that has no teeth?

Instead of going to a "Strip Club", have you ever bought a case of beer and sat around with 15 guys that all smelled like "sheep *****" and watched a farmer "Breed His Cow" with a "10,000 lb Bull"?

Wearing nothing but a yellow and red Jock Strap, have you ever jumped out of a tree onto the back of a "Cow Moose" in heat and stabbed it to death with your hunting knife?

Have you ever watched Clams having sex and then become aroused yourself.

Have you ever stuck your head down in the hole of an outhouse, to look around.

Have you ever played with yourself in a tree

All minority's in Maine have been shipped in from Somalia, they were taught two words of English by the do-gooder loons the day they arrived, those words are "Police Brutality" if you should vist Lewiston Me and say 'hello" to a Somalian they will smile and say "Police Brutality" most Mainers smile back and say
"f-ck you" then the Somalian will reply, "Police Brutality" they can't drive but they are issued free drivers licenses they are required to sign them when they do they sign "Police Brutality" when one of them has a baby they name them "Oboota Whahingy Police Brutality Smith"

Come to Maine, the way life should be.

That is Michael Skakel-Kennedy's alibi for what he was doing while "someone else" was bludgeoning Martha Moxley to death. I am dead serious. That's where he says he was at the time of the murder so it couldn't have been him.
