Like I said. True equality would mean we wouldn't have to worry about the racial make up of the government, or television. Because all peoples would be viewed equally. But groups like the NAACP are too busy screaming about how there should be just as many blacks as whites in these positions. I'm sorry, but democracy is based on the rule of the majority, and I just don't see how it isn't racism to assume that blacks should have more say than they constitute, just because they are black.
Yes, their ancestors suffered through slavery for 150 years, and I am sorry that happened. They like to forget that MY ancestors were enslaved by THEIR ancestors for much longer than that in Egypt.
All I am saying is, democracy is based on percentages, that's a fact of life. Now if blacks constitute (I can't remember the %, 12 maybe?) of the population, then 12% of the government should be made up of African-Americans. But no more, and no less.
That's just my opinion. And that is applicable to any color of skin, including white.
