I'm puzzled how you find taking opportunities from one race and giving them to another discriminatory but not the reverse. You seem to be saying that an African-American should be hired just because their skin color and not based on the merits. Explain that to me. Just because a black person is not hire for any given jobs doesn't mean it is because of race. It could be any number of reasons...but it is so lazy to jump on the racism bandwagon. Pitiful.

Of course you think that all people of color cannot do the job, why else would you get upset? I guess we can play the game, we just cannot make and decisions around the game. I especially know you would get upset by my comments about a game where African-Americans overwhelmingly dominate. I guess Black people should just be happy with their place and not expect more in an industry where opportunity is supposed to be ramped. Next thing you are going to tell me a Black teacher should not expect to have success in a school district any more than the general population.

Certainly, black should expect more...fairly...not handed to them...as so often seems the expectation.
