[quote="Captain Noctis Aeternus":2594e]ED, that rebuttal was the most mature I think I've ever seen from you. Didn't even mock anyone ed:[/quote:2594e]

This thread has pissed me off to the point of seriousness. And did u totally skip my response to SNIPEY "KKK" MAGOO?

[quote:2594e]But, in your statement regarding the under-representation, you completely neglected to address the reason it is so, they are a MINORITY.[/quote:2594e]

And because we are a minority, it is very easy for the concerns of the smaller group to be pushed aside. It's easy to do and has been done for many years. It isnt so hard to believe. Tell me how hard it would be to have a proportianate amount of minorities representing minority interests and needs in government. Just because we are a minoritt does NOT mean that has to be reflected in positions of power. It is because we are a minority, that many people are screaming for representation.

[quote:2594e] I just fail to see why people should be obligated to oblige to a certain group just because of the color of their skin. That, in and of itself, is racist. That's like saying that all black, hispanic, and asian peoples are better than white people, because they deserve to have equal say in everything, even though they don't represent an equal number of people.[/quote:2594e]

Man, people are ALL equal. But how can that be when all you see is white government, representing white interests? Who do you thi nk they are looking out for - honestly. Are you saying that because minorities dont make up the dominant race in this country, that THEIR needs come last. That reasoning in and of itself is one of th emain reasons we have the climate of racial unrest we have right now in this damn country.

[quote:2594e]You want true equality? Then don't be hypocritical about it.[/quote:2594e]

The problem is you take equality as some literal physical number, when its an idea - not a tangile. Equality simple means sameness of treatment, and right to live. One black or one million, we should have the same rights as the majority; the same priviliges.
