You brought up the percentages, I did not do that. This was not and is not about percentages. Equality is about giving people an equal opportunity.

What I do love, is the minute people here do not get an opportunity, it is all about politics. That is widely accepted here, but any mention of inequality that cannot be even mentioned. God forbid anyone even talks about that.
