What I do not agree with is DS> not choosing someone based on their color or race -- nor with DS> denigrating someone based on their color or race. *THAT* is what is DS> racist. Choice and selection should be based on merit. The best Man or Women for the job, regardless of race, but many times the choice is made upon fear that someone will call them racist because there are no people of color, This is ignorance. aka "the race card." The PC way of accomplishing this is affirmative action, doesn't do anything for me. There is no CEN Caucasian Entertainment Network. but there is a BET Black Entertainment Network. There is no NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian People but there is a NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. If either CEN or NAACP for white people existed, Van Jones would call it a "Whitewash" just as he did when President Trump was elected, people like him such as Al Sharpton use the race card all the time. They need to otherwise they would never accomplish anything. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/64) * Origin: Capital Station BBS * telnet://csbbs.dyndns.org * (1:267/150)
