Though 10 percent of the U.S. civilian labor force, African-Americans are 18 percent of U.S. government workers. They are 25 percent of the employees at Treasury and Veterans Affairs, 31 percent of the State Department, 37 percent of Department of Education employees and 38 percent of Housing and Urban Development. They are 42 percent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., 55 percent of the employees at the Government Printing Office and 82 percent at the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency.
When the Obama administration suggested shutting down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants whose losses of $150 billion have had to be made up by taxpayers, The Washington Post warned, in a story headlined, “Winding Down Fannie and Freddie Could Put Minority Careers at Risk,” that 44 percent of Fannie employees and 50 percent of Freddie’s were persons of color.
It's crazy how blatant this is, and yet how little I care about it.
For all the white privilege talk in this country, it's an absolute fact that minorities and to an extent women have incredible leeway to do the things they hate white men for doing in the past.

If CNN could enslave whites, they'd do it with the quickness.

I almost started another thread, but this will do:
I hate the damn media; particularly national media. This is a tragedy. A man is dead and a community is in turmoil: time for for the media vultures to swoop down and pick the bones clean. They are not seeking the truth, they are seeking viewership and clicks through sensationalism.
I bet some of them even think they are "helping" by exposing the evil police. You are not helping. Emotionally charged stories do more damage than good.

Who asked the questions in the OP? I didn't see them being asked in the CNN article that was linked. Are these questions just a poor attempt at trolling?

white people are racist obviously

CNN's headline on their frontpage this morning was "Why do whites run mostly black city?" So I turned it around saying "Why do blacks run mostly white country?" The stuff I quoted in the op were directly from the homepage. Those facts are found in an article "who is Darren Wilson?" now:

Two-thirds of Ferguson's population is black. The police chief is white. Only three African-Americans are on the 53-person police force.
The mayor is also white, and so are five of the six city council members.

Okay. You probably should have done a screen capture since the front page is always changing, but I agree that it was a stupid question. It's my understanding that Ferguson is a community in transition, with Blacks moving in and Whites moving out, so it will proably take a couple of election cycles before the makeup of the government reflects this.

Isuppose that its because the Media is supportive of the Black people who are running the country and White people are made up of sheep also.

I agree. But I'm at work and hosting images is a pain in the arse from here.

But the assumption you're carrying on is that black people can't vote for white people. This is just absurd. I'm not going to presume they would vote for a republican but there are many large cities with white mayors that are largely black demographics. And there are largely white areas that have a black person in charge. Hence my change in the title. It's just absurd. CNN should apologize frankly. I don't think I've ever seen something so absurd from someone other than the KKK or Blank Panthers.

Almost all CEOs of Fortune 500 are white men. About 10% are run by black men, Hispanic men, Asian men, and women in general.
White men still run the country.
Don't kid yourself if you think otherwise.

I presume no such thing, you're projecting. There's nothing wrong with Blacks voting for White candidates, and I do it all the time.

So when you say more blacks are coming in and more whites are going out and that will change the demographics of the leadership, you're not proposing as CNN did that blacks vote for blacks and whites vote for whites and anything not matching this should lead to questions. Got it...
