Geeze Louise, I'm already hearing the latest right wing whine... |
|
...along the lines of, "Now that a black is president, we can stop hearing about discrimination."
Yeah, I guess that's right, all prejudice disappeared overnight. Whatever... :eyes:

1. Those people weren't 'hearing about discrimination' anyway |
|
I'm sure that they plugged their ears to it a long time ago.

4. Tell him that it's because you can't use "...of African descent"... |
|
...since every last one of us is of African descent. That normally chafes the folks who pose similar questions to me.

...but the first thing it made me think of were the many times I heard that awful crack about "no one missing work" for the Million Man March. Anyone who espouses the line of thought I initially mentioned also likely believes the vast majority of African-Americans don't want to work. I've encountered it far too much to think otherwise.

9. When we elect a gay atheist president, I'll STFU. |
