is there a passport check to verify nationality when they pick these people up? who has organized to pick them up?

who is organizing for the day care?

who is paying for their lunch?

are whites in the area barred from participating in such programs when they cannot afford them?

Native americans are bound to contracts called TREATIES< cause, well, it was the price paid to take their crap from them,,,,

casinos are probably not significant payment for what they would have had or what they rightfully should get out of the deal

all foreigners come here and get tax breaks,, not just arabs
the price for wanting to be globally competitive


I do remember Rodney king,, my read, people were sick of black peoples lives not seeming to be valued BY THE LAW,, Rodney was a last straw in a string of incidents where blacks were brutalized or killed with little consequence,,,

they most certainly DID HAVE QUOTAS BACK THEN...
OH and you bring up another good point. .. I have a case against the State police for brutality, filing false reports, coorecing witnsses ect. EVERY law firm i have talked to about this tells me the same story: if i were anything but a white man i would have a multi million dollar lawsuit. No one wants to see a white man yelling foul. Never gonna go anywhere. i have come to accept this truth.

the job was for the State of Michigan, back when womens lib,ect. was really thick and there were a lot of quotas that didnt make sense at that time. ( in this area where there as literally no one to fill these quotas) Also i know that there are sometimes different tests for college entrance exams depending on race..., how is that fair to me? how is that fair to an employer who expects someone to be "equally qualified". ?
I know of a lesbian back in the day who, if she wanted a promotioon, would accuse her boss of sexual harassment. back then they didnt question her, they just took her word as fact and fired the superviser. Seen it too many times. reverse discrimination is alive and well today also...

how do you know why people feel what they feel rambill? because they may not openly discuss a bias, doesn't mean its not there.. heck , most people aren't even aware of their racial bias,,,,,,

blacks, as a group, 'pretty much ' have a historical reason to suspect that race is a factor in why OBama is scrutinized over the TYPES of things he is scrutinized over, particularly if they SEEM to be things other presidents have done without the same level of scrutinization


especially when he STARTS out his historic presidency with baits about how he is muslim, or not really American and his colleagues vow to make their SOLE job to obstruct him


many black folks would likewise like to see people come up with better arguments as to why they insist this President has set some historical precedent in terms of his mistakes or intentions


why they have singled him out as 'worst', when they cant come up with much of anything that he has done differently than those who came before him


when they have claimed he wants to 'ruin' the country , take away their freedoms, have a welfare state,,,,etc,,,,,,,it SEEMS like a singular and exceptional attack on THIS president


, but that's a matter of personal perception and priorities,,


anyone that questions peoples motives, is somehow 'worshipping' the Presdent, anyone that questions the complaints or supports the President is seen as doing so simply because of his race and their being 'misinformed'

so that works both ways

Genesis 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Replenish -
v. verb
To fill or make complete again; add a new stock or supply to.
replenish the larder.
To inspire or nourish.
The music will replenish my weary soul.
To become full again

Now I understand translation from language to language are never "precise". So I got the notion to bring this discussion up. Just strikes me funny "replenish" is used at the "creation" of the world. I understand some translation use different words such as "fill the Earth" in the English Standard version and probably other's. But that's from a translation of a translation. Anyways lol, my point is. As far as I know, the bible never refers to "dinosaurs". And we all know dinosaurs and man could never have lived on the planet at the same time. So my thought was, the dinosaurs were here, then they died however they died out "the how they did is moot to the topic". But do you think this is said that way because the dinosaurs roamed the planet, then God had to basically "remake" the planet so to speak to be suitable for man? And God did throw Satan to the Earth to crawl on his belly.

Genesis 3:14

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

I understand it says "serpent" and not specifically Satan. But it was the serpent that tempted and we all know who tempts us to Sin. So think maybe Satan and his following angels were thrown to the ground as dinosaurs so to speak, till their physical being died off?

Please don't take me wrong lol, this is just speculation, thought, idea, brain storming kind of stuff. Not saying anything is specifically true bout this idea of a theory lol. Just food for thought.

rambill, I presume most people have racial bias, black and white

racist doesn't mean terrible person, it means product of a racially divisive and segregated history and environment


yep, both blacks and whites and most other americans also have an implicit racial bias,, study after study have shown it

try not to take it too personally

this does not mean that EVERY decision and choice and perspective will be DICTATED by that inherent bias,, many people aknowledege it and work hard to inspect their perceptions and ideas to try to keep that bias from affecting it

but its not an easy task,, and if one is in the minority, it is particularly damaging to them as a group for the majority to unsuccessfully fight that bias,,,,

racial bias has been taught to MOST americans, if they have any interaction with media or public education on a regular basis


some people are determined to be blind to the racism others see, and deaf to the racism other people hear , when it is there,,,


some have no reason to have to see it or believe it is real,,,

Obama, has to do things...subtly.

Were Obama to try and be straightforward and all-American brash and dashing...they would set him up real nicely.

With that in mind, you will not realize the brilliance of his presidency until long after he's gone.

He has to say one thing, and then conceal things until the time is right.

Like if he were to announce a plan to get all Americans healthcare..entire industries would start to change regulations overnight to thwart him.

Therefore, you are looking at a master, playing chess.

Some people expect the POTUS to be able to do things that the POTUS cannot legally do. Such expectations happen no matter who the POTUS is.

Start being OCD about hand washing.

Now, getting back to defending President Obama ...

Folks, President Obama, like his predecessors, is used as Scapegoat-in-Chief for things that he has no control over.

Also, for some strange reason, people in the USA tend to expect the POTUS to wave a magic wand and produce instant results.
