Affirmative Action vs. Racial Profiling

Anyone else tired of hearing about the race card when it's convenient? I'm sick of hearing about how this group of people is racist or that group of people is racist. I'm tired of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, now Sen. Barack Hussein Obama finding racial issues with various groups of people, our schools, our police departments, and our government.

I just want to know why it's acceptable to use racial profiling when considering candidates for college applications or job applicants through Affirmative Action, but it's not acceptable to use racial profiling to limit or stop crime. Just caught a show on TV about the DC Sniper case from October 2002...it was acceptable for the media to run stories suggesting the sniper was a white male, 20-40 years of age based solely on the statistics that 80% of serial killers are white men 20-40 years of age. How is that NOT racial profiling? Why is it acceptable to use racial profiling, incorrect profiling against white people, but God help you and have mercy on your soul if you suggest a black person may be responsible for something based solely on statistics.

If minorities want equality, then they should be demanding equality in every aspect of life and demanding equality for all. Eliminate entitlement programs that give special favors based on skin color. Eliminate racial profiling against all colors and religions. Entitlement programs like affirmative action don't end or reduce racism, they protect its existence and those who use it know it...they got the job, got into that school, etc based on skin color, not qualifications or accomplishments. White people resent being denied opportunity because of a mandate requiring skin color to be a qualification we can't meet and have no control over. So, programs like racial profiling, I mean Affirmative Action, do nothing but continue the existence of bad feelings between the races.

The ring leaders of this racial circus continue spreading racism and discrimination by constantly making excuses for people when it's convenient to seize the microphone, television cameras, and press articles to keep their faces and agendas in the media.

When equality is demanded by all for all, that's when we'll start to see a reduction in discrimination, racism, and ill-contempt between the races.

Amen. Ive determined however human beings are obsessed with race. Its been an issue since the beginning of time, and always will be. Sad but true.

People, like animals, seem to like to group themselves with those most like themselves. Sometimes it's skin color, sometimes is political views, it's always by what sports team you're a fan of...strange creatures we are.
