And why shouldn't it be the first thing to cross his mind or any white mans'? When you have unequal government advantages that can be taken advantge of by one group and not another it is only natural to think that way. In fact- you would be stupid not to assume it. Sorry if that offends your sensibilities but perhaps you should blame the unequal and immoral policies that allow people to assume such things.

I don't think so!

What you have just stated, in essence, is the antithesis of the conservative stance. You hold INDIVIDUALS responsible for THEIR OWN actions. Conservatives neither rely on the group, or blame the group. That's the theory, anyway.

And you can keep your "apology." You can't play a playa, paht-nah. Besides, there is no need to apologize. In fact, I thank you for saying what you have said.

THANK YOU!

Yeah- I do- but that doesn't make me brain dead either or stop me from using common sense. Common sense would tell me that when a government makes distinctions based on race or gender and awards privaleges and perks and advantages on those criteria that the favored groups are going to have a leg up on the unfavored group. That is not "group judgement" or "prejudice" or "stereotyping"- but a sound rational assumption based on the facts at hand.

,,, if a kick start for Blacks wanting to genuinely get into business is required, it should be there for them. Welfare payouts would be lower if they succeeded in business and the sense of achievement is something you can't put a dollar value on. After all, the government pays out how much a year as farm subsidies?
