It's great that you don't get it. Let's hope you never do.
I'll assume that the rest of your reply is rhetorical and admire your sentiment for the positivity it projects. Teach it to your children.....

Mike4, You are taking averages and statistics into this. I was not stating there are no or not enough TV shows, colleges, charities and so on, with whites only. The problem I have it that the government “mandates” set-asides for minorities. They (government laws, code of regulations, stipulations) demand “Guarantees” for minorities (you may read ‘to be given a chance’ here but I won’t) to be included in the day to day operations of the commercial dealings of the people of the United States. (Continuation of explanation of problem) and Nothing Guarantees Caucasians, Whites, Me, heterosexuals, law abiding 100% citizens, Anything. BTW I never saw an episode of Friends or Cheers so I have no opinion of them. I do watch the Chappelle Show often though, but that doesn’t have anything to do with anything. As far as who is to blame? I have no idea. I didn’t start this to come up with a solution. Just wanted to start some s--t I reckon. Worked, didn’t it!Holten?

Jeez, are you still dwelling on this? One example with the numbers 6 & 12 and I'm bringing in averages and statistics? It's obvious that your gonna' hold onto whatever it takes to confirm that your being denied your rights and your perception of who's to blame has been pretty clear throughout this conversation (especially since everybody not white is not a 100% law abiding citizen- hmmm). So hey! You win, your right, it's your world, and it's definitely you're right to feel what you feel.
But also note, this exchange started because you say you lost your job to minority set asides. And given the seriousness of a person's lively hood I don't make the next statement lightly but, if you expressed yourself on or around the job and it's employees like you do here, your employer may have taken the opportunity to get rid of a potential(if not already on-going) problem with your views seeing that you were in a position of authority over other people and a walking eeoc investigation waiting to happen
now relax and try to take what joy out of life and the upcoming holidays that you can...
or not.

You think it possible to organize a White History Month? A White Folks College Fund? Would Six Flags allow us to celebrate Straight Day? Could we sue NBC for not having enough white people on a TV show? Could there be a White Entertainment Network on cable? If a construction BTW, congratulations on your promotions, in all sproject is funded by government money all contracts state that “the workforce must be comprised of at least 16.9% minorities, half of which must be women.” “Labor or materials which are provided by sub-contract must have at least 20% minorities participation.” Therefore it is legal to have a workforce of 100% ‘purple’ women. I know that most contracts of any kind funded by government money have similar stipulations. Nothing guarantees a job to a white man (other than somebody has to work.) And congratulations on your promotions, seriously.
i think i heard that someone in boston tried to make a white american scholarship and ppl went ape on him. a mayor somewhere in pennsylvania wanted to make his town/ (or county) english speaking only. so .. if you can't speak english your f-ed i think he did pull it off too... people hated him for it though.
i think if everyone wants so badly to be equal there should be no minority quota in jobs (everyone has = chance in getting a job) in fact .. the job should ALWAYS go to the most qualified. not go to a lesser qualified person to fill a rediculous quota.
there should be no specialized scholarships for different races. (why can someone get a scholarship just for having a different skin color???) let them get scholarships from the schools and for getting good grades like everyone else.
tv channels? each race get their own channel? it still seems like a concept that keeps things separated. there's people of all races on the regular channels. get rid of b.e.t because it seems like special treatment to me.
all races and genders should get = pay for a particular job's wages. no less or more for being black, white, male.
sorry for my ramble.

aboutmy last post.. if i sounded racist .. it wasn't intended. i just mean that if everyone wants to be equal .. it should be equal. we don't have equal rights like they say we do. rich get benefits over the poor. minorities over majorities. (though it seems english speaking caucasion is becomming the minority ... )

No disrespect intended, but how much do you know about your own country's history? All that seems to be happening is that the pendulum is starting to swing the other way, and some of the minorities need a hand to reach the starting line. In NZ we have separate Maori scholarships, a tv station, etc. This is only a recent development after 160 years of white state control (banning the use of Maori language, taking land from Maori for European settlement by various means and so on). Having said that, I agree that jobs etc need to go to the most qualified individual... but on the other hand, minorities need role models to look up to. This seems to be a purely white left wing reaction - take recent events in the UK where MP's were sending each other 'holiday' cards, without any mention of the word Christmas. These MP's believed it would offend Muslims, Hindus etc to use the word Xmas, but did they ask them if they were offended? Heck no! The Muslim leader they asked was looking forward to a few days public holiday... So, what I am saying is, don't be so protective of what you perceive as 'your rights' - no-one is out to squash you.

"The white people won it"? From whom? The native Americans? Who, from all the old John Wayne films etc that I've viewed were called by the derogatory name "Redskins", armed only with bows and arrows to defend THEIR country from gun happy settlers! It doesn't sound very "Fair" to me. According to the history books it was taken by force and the indiginous population were forced to become the "Minority" on their own land!! Does this mean if squatters were to force entry into our homes whilst we were out, that by right, they would have "WON" the privilage to claim it as their own? We live in a multi-racial world, the only way around it would be for everyone to return to their ancestral birthplace, (and stay there), It begs the question as to where most of us would end up living!!!!

I couldn't agree more Juze! The trouble is, as you stated, "...It begs the question as to where most of us would end up living!!!" I think I'd need a few passports since I am of Welsh, (like you)Irish, Scottish, British, Spanish, and Native Canadian ancestry. Can Haggis be made with a Buffalo stomach...?
Isn't it time we began to realize that we are ALL human and therefore alike?
