It's just them targeting a specific demographic.
    Affirmative action had is place, but its been long enough. Could you imagine what would be said if there was a 365white.com. The double standard is getting old. Black americans have more than enough opportunities to improve their way of life.
    I am sorry but there is not one person alive today that had anything to do with slavery, so how can anyone think they deserve reperations?

    All that people need to do is get an education and work hard, quite sitting there waiting for a handout.

        I hear they are also doing a 365CrackerRacist promotion as well. Wear your white sheet into any MickeyDees in the USA and receive a package of Saltines. Kind of nice to see them giving back.
        Don't get me started

                  Sorry you believe that. Racism is very real and still very much alive. There are many educated blacks that do work hard to be a fruitful part of society. However, there is still alot of discrimination going on. Not just in the hiring practice, but in pay, promotion, security, etc. I worked for a mortgage company that got sued in a few states for racial steering. In this day and age? Unemployement for blacks in the city I work is twice as high for blacks as it is for their white counterparts. We're not talking blue collar jobs either. In many cases I don't advocate affirmative action. But then again, I believe in giving people a chance based on their abilities and not the color of their skin.
                  Silly me...

                      So are you grouping the two? Last I checked, blacks only made up 12.8% of the population.

                        Hmm, technically your wrong. Reason being; Corporations have lobbied congress to have rights, the same as a living person. So technically we still have a lot of people alive and doing "Extremely" well, from the " Forcefully Free"labor of others...We'll they did pay for food, room and board, I guess the had to make sure the women were nice and plump for the forcefully quickies on the side.

                          DOm I agree with you on this one, for the same and different reasons...
                          There is racism still going on, but not only from the caucasians but also from the african americans,
                          I believe that many of them are hard working and add to society, but there is a good chunk that still does what Obrien was saying, blaming the past for their laziness or for the fact they are got a ticket from a white cop (while speeding) or whatever is missing in their lives. I am a firm believer that bygones should be bygones, yes there was a period in time where they were discriminated, but that was a looooong time ago... how can one look into the future with their eyes in the past?
                          I wish people could understand it, I don't think most of society is prejudice against any race.
