If you randomly picked 1,000 blond-haired blue-eyed people
Do you believe that there would be at least a few that had the intelligence required to be a cabinet member? Would there be at least one?

13. Do you believe that there was one black or Latino...
...in the entire state who was qualified for a cabinet post. The issue in this thread is not whether they should have been appointed; it is whether there were qualified blacks and Latinos.

14. Why don't you go ask them...
There's not that many in the state. It should be easy.

"Did you want to be in Dean's cabinet?"

Have fun.

17. And all six were there all ten years
Or were they. I really don't know. But I would imagine that the number of total individuals who served in the six roles exceeded a total of six.

9. Would you mind explaining your post?
Because I usually find you to be very astute and not the type to bigoted towards blonde-haired, blue-eyed people, like myself.

I assume you're being sarcastic somehow or something. There actually have been instances of bigotry here towards blonde-haired,blue-eyed people here, only from people calling most people like that racist. The people making that charge were the hard-left, paranoid, anti-israel, anti-islam-moderatization, people, which I would definetly not include you amongst

10. Yes. But there are a lot of people who actually believe the

stereotype that blondes are dumb. I always loved making better grades than those people! :7
