It seems like every day, more and more "Racist" issues come up. I truly do NOT understand why everything can't be equal, truly equal, where everything is based on merit, and what you put into it. IE; when you apply for a job, instead of your name, write your social security number, refrences etc. You get hired based on your ability to preform the job well.

And since when is it the Government's job to take care of the "Poor Minority". The United States is a place where you get out what you put in. If you sit on your lazy ass and do nothing, then that's what you're going to get. If you're in an Inner City school because your parents can't afford anything better, well, that's your bit in life, if you choose to work your way out of it, then you deserve to get the good job that will come because of that. Or you can sit and rot, choose to do drugs and be involved in gangs. Regardless, it's ALL a personal choice. Think of all the Rags to riches stories, everyone has to start somewhere, it's just a matter of personal motivation.

I pay the same taxes that anyone else does, why do others who decided to not do anything with their lives get more of my tax money? Since when is it right to be punished for your own success??

I do not understand how anyone can honestly say that AA, Minority representation, minority scholarships(unless they are a Private scholarship) are fair. Everyone has an equal chance from day one. What they do with their life is theirs. It is unfair for anyone to recieve anything based souly on skin color, or gender. That is indeed REVERSE DISCRIMINATION against me; and million's of other hardworking A-typical White males.

I am aware that this thread is taking the basic side of supporting minorities, and I will probably be branded a racist, or ignorant, or "unaware", because of my statements. However, my statements are not meant to offend anyone, and I will defend them.
