Quote of the Day: Racial Double Standards
"Mitt Romney hasn't revealed all of his fall campaign strategy yet, but what if he launched a "White Americans for Romney" movement in an effort to get out the white vote? If the Romney campaign did that, there'd be a media-led outcry across the land, with charges ranging from racial insensitivity to outright racism. When President Barack Obama announced his 2012 launch of "African Americans for Obama", the silence was deafening. Should the same standards be applied to Obama as would be applied to Romney? The answer turns out to be no, because Obama is not held to the same standards as Romney."
~Walter E. Williams

What a conundrum!
logic is kryptonite for politicians.
this is why they so assiduously avoid it.
perhaps the National Association for the Advancement of White People would support Romney?
I can't wait for Mitt's
"African American Mormons for Romney" campaign.
Or how about African American yachtsmen for Romney? Or African American Nuclear Physicists for Romney?
Society tends to have low expectations for certain groups, and pretends not to notice when they are given special preferences or when ordinary rules and constraints are not applied to them.
The source of the problem has a source, but very few people are capable of facing it honestly. Even Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams are hesitant to look at evolutionary explanations which provide reasonably accurate statistical predictions.

alas, we seem to call such people "politicians".
That video made the rounds when it came out in February:

But it is worth keeping it in the public eye.

Civil Rights, The Left & The Legacy Of MLK
>>> perhaps the National Association for the Advancement of White People would support Romney?
I'm sure he could get the backing of the National Organization for Men...
Romney is a friend of the NAACP....National Association for The Advancement of Corporate Profits.
