You sound like a crybaby whine man, or white man.

I hope you don't believe that very orthodox argument for affirmative action. It might surprise you to learn that outside the elites, white folks don't get jobs via the "Old Boy network" any more than anyone else does. In fact, the only people who are affected by racist "diversity" programs and the like are the white/asian people who don't get that advantage. The ones who do get that advantage get it regardless of any diversity program, whether in employment or in school or in any other arena.

I know plenty of black men that I'd be very happy to trade circumstances with, by the way. Perhaps you don't know enough of them to get your opinion advanced to the 21st century? There may have been a grain of truth to what you say, had you said it back in 1970.

frankly, the whiney blacks have more to whine about than the whites and I think the blacks should shut up because they still have plenty of opportunity as do the whining whites.

This is the best time and place ever in history to be the best you can be and you got a huge chip on your shoulder.

So in the final analysis, you have no defense for the injustices you claim are "fair", and must resort to name-calling. I expected such, but had hoped perhaps you had something more interesting to say.

I've got news for you. LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

But any healthy citizen of the USA has got nothing to complain about and that includes white, black, brown, yellow, or other.

The black jesse jackson whiners are disgusting and so is the white whining.

You have it great. Opportunity is everywhere in the USA.

So when I get a job and am told that my opportunities for advancement are zero since I have white skin and the company's policy - not only blessed by, but demanded by the government - is to maximize the number of nonwhite employees, that's fair in your book, because others in the past have had it worse?

Next time I meet you, I'll remember to bitch slap you for your ignorance and arrogance. Fair enough?

Start your own business. That is what I did.

Frankly it is because I'm asian and I know no way in hell will the white guys ever let me be the boss.

If you look at the biggest 1000 companies, my guess is that except for the companies asians started, zero is headed by an asian.

I'm glad I work for myself. You have to learn all kinds of new stuff and that is good.

Moonbat conservatives...

I take it from your comments that a "moonbat conservative" is anyone to the right of John McCain or Lincoln Chaffee.

Are you a victim of white racism?

I get it. Because you are convinced that people are racist against you (based on no hard evidence, just your own perception), you are indifferent to overt, explicit racism against others... oddly, including such explicit racism against yourself. Don't you see that you are determining your preferred policy on feelings rather than facts - the m.o. of the Left?

You still haven't answered my question as to what "sieg heil"--a Nazi greeting--has to do with the Southern cause during the War Between the States. Are you trying to equate the Confederacy with Nazi Germany? This would be quite a stretch. For one thing, Judah Benjamin, the Confederacy's Secretary of State and probably the number two man in the Confederate government, was Jewish. It would be more than a century before the US would appoint a Jewish Secretary of State.

In the USA today, the only victims are those who inflict it upon themselves by failing to take advantage of the opportunities here. I believe that I am no victim.

in the movie apocalypse now there is a famous line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"

to those who support the confederacy, I love the smell of of one of those supporters burning up in anger.

Sieg Heil will usually get the job done, because there is some elements of truth there and it hurts.

Any chance we'll see an article in a major British or American newspaper which supports the singing of "Dixie" anytime soon?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

How about:

As long as the Union was faithful to the trust,
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just.
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
