Equal rights as they see them.

Unfortunately the crutch I refer to is some cry racism, discrimination or
other inequities whenever something, that for the most part is a product of
lifes bump in the road,  doesnt go their way.

The more qualified person should be hired.

 RC>> The rest of your stuff deleted..

 BK>  You can't handle the truth!

I have yet to see you tell any.

and if you were the white person?

What you suggest above is discrimination, if a hiring decision is made on
whom one feels needs the job more.

"Oh I cant hire the white guy, I have to hire the minority because of
the sins of the past"

 RC>> You go out of the way to show your white guilt and insist

 BK>  When you can show the past is not still a hurdle for the

As soon as you stop thinking that the current majority has to pay the price
for the sins of their fathers.
