On the Factor tonight, Bill O'Reilly said "African-Americans have a harder road in America" His statement could have been right if he were talking about foreigners coming into the country, on H1B visas. Or illegal aliens getting jobs very easily.
Problem is, Bill was talking about White Americans. He also said "nobody seriously disputes that". Surprise, Bill. Somebody does dispute it. And very seriously. That would be me (among many others). The fact is, Blacks in America have an EASIER road. That's because they have Affirmative Action. In all but 8 states (where AA is banned), Blacks get first crack at jobs, job promotions, admission to college et al schools, financial aid of all sorts, business loans, and more. Whites, on the other hand, are relegated to the back of the line to get these things, and in many instances are DENIED them completely.
It is because of this, that (for 50+ years now) it is Whites who have the harder road, and it's about time that journalists, TV commentators, politicians, et al started telling it like it is. This is one of America's worst disgraces, and is probably the most covered up. You hardly ever hear a word about it, except when someone is filing a lawsuit, and it is finding its way to the Supreme Court. Can anyone name a single presidential candidate or news media person who has talked about it, since this campaign season began ? If so, let's hear it. (with link)
PS - in the some of the 8 states where Affirmative Action is banned (Ex. Florida), it is only partially banned.
