Lucas Oil co-founder: "I'm sick and tired of minorities running our country"

[davidn3600]

The co-founder of Lucas Oil, a Corona, California-based oil products company with annual revenues in excess of $150 million, took to her Facebook page this week, complaining that she is “sick and tired of minorities running our country.”

Charlotte Lucas, who founded Lucas Oil with her husband Forrest Lucas in 1989 and now calls Indianapolis their home, called out atheists and Muslims as the main targets of her ire, reports RTV6.

In a posting on her now-deleted Facebook page Lucas wrote, “I’m sick and tired of minorities running our country! As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think that atheists (minority), muslims [sic] (minority) nor any other minority group has the right to tell the majority of the people in the United States what they can and cannot do here. Is everyone so scared that they can’t fight back for what is right or wrong with his country?”

Contacted by RTV6 about her comments, Lucas told reporter Rafael Sanchez, that she did write the post and was not interested in discussing it, although she did briefly comment upon it.

“I was very upset when I wrote that,” she said. “I will not elaborate other than to say that there are certain people who are trying to make the whole world eat what they want to eat and do what they want to do. I don’t think it’s any of their business what I put in my mouth. Thank you.”

Whites Account for Under Half of Births in U.S
Published: May 17, 2012

After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.

Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.

Indianapolis is about 60% white, and I am sure she lives in an all white area.

But I bet she thinks there are no white Muslims.

[div class=excerpt style=background:#AFEEEE]Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

The US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite.

So concludes a recent study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin I Page.

This is not news, you say.

Perhaps, but the two professors have conducted exhaustive research to try to present data-driven support for this conclusion. Here's how they explain it:

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

In English: the wealthy few move policy, while the average American has little power.
