[QUOTE="RAVEN, post: 227693, member: 135"] I look at what this country has fallen into.. Using the race card to gain power- pushed by the Dems.. How about, you live your life the best you can.. work hard to fulfill your goals in life.. and I'll do the same?. That is equality. THERE IS EVERY OPPORTUNITY and THEN SOME (affirmative action) for minorities to make it in the US.. My ex was an engineer for Ford Mo Co. He was top in his class..had patents under his belt and many accomplishments. When he went looking for a job after we got out of the service.. He was hired in at Ford. His boss told him that he was LUCKY to get the job because they hired minorities first. He would come and tell me how the blacks he worked with would not return from lunch, but stay out and use the company vehicle to go galavanting around for the afternoon... It's this kind of BS, that infuriates me.. My ex grew up POOR.. I mean, to where his teachers would bring him shoes and clothing to school because he didn't have anything. He worked hard to crawl out of that life and then to be considered "lucky" to get a job with his credentials.. blows my mind..:( [/QUOTE]
