Nothing said in that posting could be interpreted as unique to Indiana. It could have been written anywhere in the country, and in many places, it most likely would have been a lot less polite.

So if I get your point right, if you speak out on something that seems like give the other side more of an advanage you are considered bigotry or racism? Let out President can sit in a church for years that preaches racism and everything is just fine. Could it be that you are just adressing an unfair program?

“minorities” need to start being the bigger person and have the courage to first treat themselves as if they are no different than anyone else, how can you expect people to not treat you as being different based on color if you are treating yourself different because of your color. “Minorities” have so many different organizations and events to promote being a “minority” but then want to be treated as if they are nothing different. Treat yourselves as if there is nothing different about you and so will everyone else.

http://tomroeser.com/ wherein some black problems are directly addressed. He does not address the IQ problem upon which ideology imposes silence upon science but, come to think of it, were science to address the issue wouldn't it just be dismissed or shouted down by non scientists? See The Bell Curve by Charles Murray and his Losing Ground wherein IPS is addressed in a footnote. I recur also to the Unheavenly City, a book that racists ought to read for alternative explanations for their own stupidity.

That press conference happened during the campaign. I don't care if my president is bi-sexual or if he has done cocaine. I do care, however, that he tries to cover up who he really is.

While I philosophically agree with contract awarding being color-blind, the reality is that it is a necessary evil on the construction side of government contracting (for now) because of the limited relationships many minority contractors have with the large contractors. I deal with the contractors on occassion for infrastructure projects and, if it weren't for the women or minority contractor requirements for that contract, they wouldn't use a woman- or minority-owned contracting company, mostly because the owners of those companies aren't well-known or are dealing with stereotypes that negatively impact their perception within the industry.

The minority contractor requirement reminds me of the affirmative action policies for college admissions that were a necessary evil until relatively recently; at some point in the future the saturation and inclusion rate of minority contractors will become great enough to make the policy unnecessary in practice. Until it reaches that point, however, those who are whining about it seem more motivated from bigotry/racism or the newly fomented WASP victimhood some of my Conservative brethren play to than from the altruism of best quality for best price.

Hey I have an idea. What about giving ALL contracts based on the best company that can do the job at bids a resonable price?
Lets get race and gender out of it.

That's nothing, Abdul. Take a look at what Obama has to deal with :)

This video was posted yesterday on Youtube in 6 parts. It was filmed at the National Press Club alleging Obama crack cocaine and gay sex. I recommend that you record a copy of each part now if you want to watch the whole thing, before Youtube pulls it:
