Webb seeing the writing on the wall is backing away from the racial insanity that follows Obama around like a bad case of herpes.

[highlander_UW]

Undoubtedly he'll be accused of being a racist, which is ironic since it's the programs themselves that are racist.

[cripplecreek]

I’m guessing he’s baiting a trap for any republican dumb enough to walk into it. Bill Clinton has already laid out a strategy by claiming a democrat can be racist if an election is on the line.

This is like a republican suddenly deciding to come out in support of nationwide gun confiscations right before the election.

its time to end the handouts..

[OpusatFR]

This is a joke. This is a typical democrat ploy to bring up ending something unpopular with the vast majority of Americans knowing that the rest of the democrats would never pass it.

Safe, predictable, and utterly false.

Hey, Webb! The game is well known and you are going to lose in 2012. Fraud!

[HereInTheHeartland]

Rich suburban black doctor’s kids get preferential treatment over poor white factory workers kids.

Insanity that ANYONE gets special treatment based on skin color.

[Starboard]

Can you imagine the outcry in the media if a Republican had said this? There would be immediate calls for resignation.

If this nation continues with severe economic issues,eventually many publicly financed diversity programs,multicultural seminars and gay/lesbian programs will collapse under their own financial weight.

[stylin19a]

I knew it was there , somewhere.

Such programs should end, Webb concluded, except for “our continuing obligation to assist those African-Americans still in need.”

so, is it right, to do the right thing for the wrong reason ?

This web site has had several threads from different sources in regards to Webb and his diversity essay.

It pains me to see that FR is populated by as many ill-informed and biased clingers as the far left.

All that you know about Webb is that he is a democrat and a liberal. The left is no more monolithic than the right is.

Webb is not a newcomer to the banning of diversity. He has a history of being consistent and for a long time.

It would do you all some good to actually inform yourselves before the glib hip shooting begins.

For my taste, he is dead wrong on about everything political, but he is right on this.
