I'm pretty socially liberal but this is straight bullshite, IMO.... and this is the sort of ACTUAL racism, sexism, religious persecution that needs to be weeded out... what's good for the goose is good for gander, IMO

Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow.”


I don’t know why this book took off so much. I had to read it for a history class. It’s nothing new and full of crap half the time.

If you don’t know anything about the war on drugs and how it affects black men more than any other group, than here’s your epiphany. Besides that, it’s really a bunch of cherry-picking that ignores serious issues.

So we white guys should immediately go apply so we can get in on that class-action suit that's coming huh?

I don't think white people can claim racism. I know I've read that somewhere.

According to these nutjobs, it offends blind people.


But I say suggesting it offends blind people is offensive because it suggests blind people are stupid.

In the medical field (specialty area with RN required) the amount of qualified minorities that apply are basically zero.

But how long before admission standards are lowered and schools are forced to take them? What about testing for a license? When will the passing scores be lowered? The last thind we need in healthcare is somebody who got the job because of their race and not qualifications.
