JBX,

It is better when posting a story to include some of your own ideas.

As to the story, it is clear that there is a double standard regarding race in America, even to most liberal thinkers.

In speech, political organizations, racial quotas, it is everywhere.

Some people feel that it is justified because minorities suffered so long, but I was always told that two wrongs don't make a right, so I don't believe this is beneficial to anyone, especially when those who do not need or deserve favoritism recieve it at the expense of others.

The best solution to racism, IMO, is to be a color blind society.

And I don't know enough about Limbaugh or McNabb to know if what Rush said is true, but if it is (and I can believe it in today's world), then we shouldn't shoot the messenger, but we should assail any system that encourages quotas at the expense of the truly talented.
