n the great span of world history, nearly all change and progress has come from an under-served and out-of-power group pushing, prodding, and pounding on those who hold power to expand it to include a wider and more diverse population. Unfortunately, nearly every time, those in power don’t have the foresight or humility to expand the circles without this external threat. As a white male Christian in America, I am part of a dwindling subset that has held the levers of power politically and economically in nearly every field for the entire history of the United States. And though my Irish Catholic ancestors had to push to get a seat at the table, we are still a part of this dominant power group. Yes, the halls of power have slowly let in some people of color, women, people of a different faith, and people of a different sexual persuasion. But white male Christians still dominate the rooms where most decisions are made.

You first Mr. Dowd. By the way how come Jews get an exemption? Chuck Schumer can keep his power as long as he wants?

No thanks, Dowd. I choose competence any day over affirmative action, especially when it comes to jobs, national defense, the Courts, and just about any profession where the stakes are high.

Third rate journalists like you are a dime a dozens, so go ahead and quit for women and minorities. Won’t make a difference.

Just recently didn’t we have an African (American) Muslim as president? How did that work out.

It’s called communism. Leftists don’t want a society based on merit.

Just say no to affirmative action leaders. I will only allow myself be led by competent leadership, otherwise I will not play ball.

I refuse to be ordered to sit at the back of the bus, denied employment, told that I must aspire to less in life strictly because of my skin color and my sex.

Its white male envy that brings on this hatred. Also self hatred from the lobotomized white males so ashamed of who they are. These groups understand they have never amounted to anything in world history and never will until the group that has accomplished so much is out of the way, regardless of how that happens. I’m not getting out of the way.

Any white male who feels that way should refrain from voting. So I agree to some extent. ;>)
