    Re: Reverand Wright/obama

    With my Mom being Asian I have been a victim several times from discrimination so I might not know what it's like being called the "N" word (i know "chink and slant eyes") but when I was going through the Orlando Fire Department Minority push I didn't make it. Why? They only asked black men to come in to the program regardless of top scores on the test. I beat out hundreds of men to make it to the board interview and studied my butt off but never had a chance. The whole program was later scrapped because of this proven racial discrimination. To them (board) Minority mean't black and that's what most people assume when talking about minorities. (to be fair I don't look Asian I take after my white dad)
    There have been many many other times as well. It goes both ways and you don't have to be black to feel it. My Mom still goes through it but she doesn't complain she just gets in your face and beats you down! All 5ft of her...lol.
    This is why I honestly feel that a huge portion of cry babies screaming racism are just lazy and taught that they can play the race card and usually win. It works! J.Jackson and A. Sharpton made millions off of it. It's like crying wolf and I think most americans are tired of hearing it.

    I agree, DJD. And I think one unfortunate consequence of the "efforts" of Jackson and Sharpton etc. is that now, it has so angered people that they now want to deny there is racism of any kind.
