Reply #10: It's called Affirmative Action!!!! [View All]

[qwlauren35]

There are many African-Americans who are consistently appalled at how much farther white women get with the "Affirmative Action" card than black men or women do.

But you're all seeing it for what it is. If you are going to hire someone in order to meet an Affirmative Action quota, and your choice is between someone female, cute, white and boffable, and a black guy who's nice but....... you don't want him looking at your daughter, then unless you actually need a scapegoat, or you're convinced that a male is required, you're probably going to choose the woman.

Yup, I know... I said something racist again... or sexist. Or racist and sexist.

But human nature is NOT politically correct. Bill Clinton was not all hot and bothered over any of the black male interns. (There was no scandal about a group of black male pages either, in case you need to go there.)

It's going to be a painful part of this year's election.

When you pit an older, experienced white woman (Clinton), against a young, energetic, less experienced black man (Obama), then it might be a toss up. But when the white woman is perky, cute, has nice legs, can do the motherhood-and-apple-pie schtick, AND DOESN'T MIND BEING LEERED AT, then the black guy doesn't have a chance.

Please notice that Palin isn't even trying to play the "I am an experienced candidate and I expect to be taken seriously" card. Not even close. She practically GIGGLES at the issue of whether she's experienced. She's not, she knows she's not, she doesn't even try to gloss over it. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO!!!! She just bats eyelashes, recrosses legs in the other direction, puckers lips and smiles.

And men smile back. Do they even stop to think that McCain could die in office? Nah... it's not what's on their minds right this minute by any stretch.

Now, what are the WOMEN thinking? They think she's "nice". Even though she hunts and fishes, she's not "aggressive".

Call me chicken little, but it's going to work unless we find some OTHER way to stop this, BESIDES the issues and scandals. I don't know what will do it, but there must be something that will sour her for the evangelists - other than a lesbian affair with another prom queen. I hope we find it soon.
