Not one non-minority was allowed into the program, regardless of their economic need or financial aid they were getting. That (including Obama) is an elitist. That's called giving back to the community that helped you or you parents get where you were in the first place. Exactly. God forbid we actually help one another, huh? There's no possible way THAT could ever be a good thing.

In 2006, for Maryland that threshold translated to: $250,000 for a two-wage-earner family $185,000 for a single wage-earner

That is not the kind of program MLK would want, I am sick of the color of someone's skin still being the focus of who they are as a person. Read J.C. Watts' book if you want to be enlightened.

You're just a big whiner. I'm sure there's another similar program that you're more than eligible for. You just see an opportunity that you can't have because you're not in a cultural minority. You might like to look that word up if you own a dictionary. Sometimes minorities have to do things for themselves to level the playing field. Judging from how appalled you are at such a program means that there is still a ways to go to naturally level that playing field. Last Edited By: Gregoire 08/28/08 8:57 PM. Edited 3 times.

And I get ill every time i hear the media saying "an historic day for Obama and the country" or "a time people thought they would never see" or "not the likeliest nominee" - just focus on him - not his ethnicity. Why does the NAACP exile anyone who does not agree with their policy positions? Even if they are of the ethnicity they claim to represent and protect, I would assume regardless of their political ideals. Why does the National Organization for Women condemn those women who dare to take a different moral or political position than they do, even though they are, in fact, also "women", part of their "organization"? Why does the democratic party, supposedly the party of "tolerance" and diversity, alienate those who differ at all in opinion from them, even if they are of the so-called protected classes they themselved claim to be the ones protecting? I'll listen.

Fact. And I'd have more respect for them if they'd just admit that they're bitter, hopeless people who want to watch the United States continue turning to shit. Unless they're really that delusional. If so, that's just so fucking sad. I truly pity them. I cannot fathom a human being comparing Obama to McCain at this point in time, after everything we've been through this decade, and siding with the latter. It is beyond. Fucking. Comprehension.

Obama's speech -- A- Convincing, full of meat and potatoes, aimed at his base and at independents, will probably not win over any republicans, probably gave a few lines for McCain and others to mock next week Al Gore's speech -- C- Did he have an appointment to go to afterwards. He read it way way too fast. Nothing memorable.

Geraldine ferraro being a VP candidate was historic. Kennedy being the first catholic candidate was historic. Lieberman was the first jewish VP condidate too as far as I know.

It's really kind of pathetic who you can't even fathom another person having a different opinion than you.
