I think it's interesting the liberals hate segregation and will fight tooth and nail to NOT classify people by race...but then support programs such as affirmative action which...um...classify people by race. If affirmative action was based on MERIT or FINANCIAL NEED than I'd be all for it. But helping out a poor black kid over a poor white kid just because one is black is still racist. And screwing us over doesn't make up for any wrong-doings in the past.

I'm all for "If you can fly it...have at it" I could careless if you're black, white, red, green, orange, or yellow. You could be a midget transvestite Eskimo for all I care. If you can do the job, rock and roll. I do have a problem sitting at the regional level while minorities/women get the fast track because 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago some other women and minorities got the shaft. I'm sorry that happened...but again...not my fault.
