USDA official resigns amid race controversy

Exactly. People cry bloody murder when public officials arent honest or transparent, yet when they are, they are tarred, feathered and forced out of their job in disgrace for something stupid they did in their youth which has no relevance to the present.

No wonder America has the political class and leaders that it does, seems well deserved to me. You can't be honest, so you might as well be a crook. It's all anyone expects.

Yeap - far too much money in politics in the US. Doesn't serve the people well at all - I wondered this morning how many elected members of the house/senate were not millionaires - anyone know?

I doubt anyone here has really thought about it. Too busy gloating over and making pedestrian statements about the scandal of the week.

I've been informed that the right wing slackers on this thread aren't gloating enough over the exposing of another leftist racist. The "compassionate" left is only compassionate when the race, cause or ideology of the "victim" meets their needs. Minority racists are embolden by White Guilt denial that only Whites can be racist. I'm glad to see that finally there is growing awareness that there is no color to bigotry.

Buh bye, dirtbag!

Can you at least try to make sense of things without putting them into partisan categories?

Call yourself educated? Well, you may as well because no one else will.

Despite the claims of being highly educated, Ms VW convinces by her actions that she is nothing more than a party hack.

Progression at a snails pace but who am I to complain being a white guy and all.

Times change and people change too.

maybe i just expect more consistency from you.

i didn't speculate on the nature of it.

Or maybe you could have read it wrong.

Thats just #######. I was born into poverty and hard work has got me to where I am now. It was not because I was white either, I made good decisions when many of my friends were not. This is the typical European attitude, you guys think you got us figured out and think if only we would just listen we would be so much better. Considering the positive things we have done in this tworld maybe you guys should be listening to us every now and then.

Very good for your particular scenario, but what she states is statistically veritable.

And that the video in question has been severely edited and that the full video will be released soon.

By then those that ignore context will have moved on to the next thing to hyper-inflate.

...the average businessman, who makes more money than they do, drives a nicer car than they do, and goes on nicer vacations than they do...

And sleeps with hotter naked women than they do...

If it was anyone else but the shooter, one would be shocked, but one isn't because of course it's not.

[justashooter 430]

not a personal insult, just a general insult to a widespread mindset.

as for competition: i welcome an even field. i will compete on equal terms with any man woman or child for position or benefit on basis of merit, and if a black man or an asian child or a purple woman is better qualified than i, i will accede. if any of them have an advantage over me that is based on the structure of the competition, that is racism or genderism biased agains white males.

oh come now, my dear. you know that acheived status is based on three qualifying factors; earned power, earned prestige, and earned position.

you must agree that persons having only earned prestige are on shaky basis when claiming a leadership role in determining reality for the society in which they function.

one man's truth is another woman's racism. the interwebs are a fantasy world in which the truth may be denied.
