Playing racial games

After New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton chose a black man to replace another black man as his deputy, a re- porter asked Mayor de Blasio if the replacement “had to be a person of color.”
“No,” the mayor claimed.
That’s not a little white lie. This is a case where whites need not apply.
Across the land, racially charged disputes are grabbing headlines. Broad swaths of life, including school admissions, crime statistics, income and poverty levels, hiring and firing, are seen increasingly through the prism of skin color and ethnicity.
Race riots, that urban staple of the ’60s and ’70s, are making a comeback. They rattled the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., after a white police officer shot a black teenager. More violence is expected if, as seems likely, the officer is not indicted.
Desperate to hold onto power, some Democratic candidates spent election season trying to scare black voters to polls. They claimed shootings like the one in Ferguson and the 2012 Trayvon Martin case in Florida would become common if Republicans prevailed. At the bottom of the barrel was the scurrilous comment by Harlem’s Rep. Charlie Rangel that some in the GOP “believe that slavery isn’t over.”

James do post a picture of ‘little Travon’ thats readily available on the web.
The lamestream media always posted a picture of him when he was 12 years old.
The actual picture of him at the age when he got shot shows a thug.
A lot of people, myself included, believe a white male is the only kind of person that can be legally discriminated against. The anti discrimination laws are specifically written to protect most other categories of people making them “protected species” Those laws identify all kinds of groups or categories if you will, but your average white male is left out on his own. I believe the pendulum has swung too far the other way.
This probably explains why almost every commercial on TV these days portrays the white male as a bumbling idiot, while he is saved by his smarter friend/wife who is not a white male.
#3 I see your point It wasn’t my original thought but your point holds a lot of merit.
Make that an older white male. Once you age out of the 25-49 age group, not even the advertisers want to talk to or respect you
If advertisers were smart, they would try to attract the shoppers, not the shoplifters.
Being PC is so effin stupid.
But the pandering never stops.
