Wait, you're telling me that the War on Drugs has had a disproportionate impact by race????

I guess I should have known this from the multitude of studies on the issue showing disproportionate ratio of drug use to incarceration.

"Wait, you're telling me that the War on Drugs has had a disproportionate impact by race????"

And the war waged on us by drug dealers, has also disproportionately impacted the black community, has it not? Go tell the people who live in Chicago, that the enemy in the war on drugs, are the white cops.

"disproportionate ratio of drug use to incarceration"

That needs to get looked at. Until then, I know a good way for blacks to avoid getting disportionate sentences for drug use...don't do drugs. How about that?

Still waiting for you to explain why Clinton has any standing to discuss this, when she did everyuthing in her power, to deny a black man (Obama) from the job he so wanted. Please explain? I'm all a-twitter...

So a respect for other viewpoints equates to total capitulation? That doesn't make any sense.

Oh, I see. So Hilary just wants us to respect the black viewpoint. And what evidence is there, pray tell, that she has any more respect for the black viewpoint, than Ted Cruz has? Please elaborate!

She has also said, many times, that she supports affirmative action. Seems to me that if she meant that, she would have wanted Obama to get the job he wanted in 2008, no?

Yes, that's how affirmative action works. Right.

Apparently you have no idea what it is. If you support affirmative action, that means you buy into the concept that it is right to give, for example, a job to a black man, over a more-qualified white man, in attempt to right an historical wrong. In other words, affirmative action supporters believe we should be prepared to make sacrifices, to accept the fact that we may be passed over when seeking a job.

She claims to support it. Yet she sure didn't show the courage of her convictions, did she? If she isn't prepared to concede a job to ablack person based solely on skin color, where does she get th emoral authority to ask anyone else to do the same?

I await your answer...
