It's not the terminology that is the problem. It's the fact that it is unconstitutional to have czars and all of the czar's the imposter in chief has. How many are there now? 30 some? Not only that, look at the freaks he's got in those positions and what their backgrounds are. It's freakin scary!!!!!!

Hmmm. Isn't diversity for the sake of diversity the same as Affirmative Action?

So since there are more "white people in power" than any other race, we should just hire someone for a job just to fill the spot of a _________ (fill in the blank with your favorite race) to make it more diverse?

Alexa, come on, don't close your mind to this also. Don't you find it disturbing that 0bama has so many radical close advisors to him? I would be all over any President (D, R or I) that did this, you should also. We need to praise Obama when he deserves it and also call him out when he is screwing the nation.

You would do well knowing all the facts about something before you try to pass it as good reason for doing something else.
let me help you.

1) the term Czar in Reagan's appointment was actually first used by the media. Not the President or government in general.
2) The Drug Czar of years gone past that you so lovingly refer to was in fact appointed by Reagan, however he was also voted on and approved by the Senate before he took the position. (the creation of the position was also voted on)

your messiah has not allowed for the approval of the senate in his choices, he appoints, and any one that criticizes him is racist.

certainly someone of your upstanding character can see the difference between the two.

If you aren't wearing blinders and sticking your fingers in your ears then I don't know who is. Come on now.

And in his racially-warped, finite pie worldview, too many white people sit alone in the too few spots atop the heap. They're "good white people," mind you, but ...

'This... there's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem.'

We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power.

________________________________________________________________

Why the shouting about this?

This is what has happened in every Country and Every city, that blacks have won.

It's what happened in South Africa, It happened in Atlanta, it happened in Washington DC and in Philadelphia. It's the "we is in charge now,"" We won" attitude of this administration.

Why are we surprised by it. I am not.

The "Good white people" this man speaks of are the white guilt liberals who helped elect Hussein Obama, and he doesnt want them around either.

Just as the Good black people spoken of by whites are considered Uncle Tom's by this man, the Good White people this man speaks of are the white Uncle Tom's.

Honestly I don't even know why I'm pissed at this.
In actuality I should be praising his words.

I have long said that it is time for those ignorant white bastards that insist on pushing affirmative action requirements on business, all while sitting in their secure government office, need to be replaced by minorities.

until those making the rules have to live by the rules, there will never be any change.

so I agree, throw those whites that have worked so hard to force diversity, out of their offices in the name of diversity.

I'm all for it.
