I know someone who used to teach at Harvard and was told explicitly the same thing: blacks could not be given failing grades in her class.

He does work pretty hard at pouring lighter fluid onto the racism and class warfare pyre.

I love how he implies that his test and grade scores were somehow impressive achievements.

“Every job I’ve had I go to a secret meeting where the boss tells me I only have to do 2% of the actual work because I’m white...Oh, almost forgot about the free gold coins. Those are great.”

I stacked 14 and a half tons of coke dust at the plant one night.

I should’ve looked inside, maybe beneath the coke dust there was gold in the bottom just for me!

He didn’t say he had to work twice as hard, but they had to work twice as hard.

I live in Ohio and it looks like overweight qualifies as handicapped.

The problem is that race has become culture...you cannot criticize culture without being labelled as a racist.

Every man, regardless of skin color has equal opportunity...but when they subscribe to an inferior culture, which is their choice, then they should not be looked upon as an equal.


well stated.

Politicians thrive on creating that inferior mantra and sense of injustice
