    Chickens came home to roost

    Now, wasn’t it ol’ former President Stereotype and his wife Ms. Stereotype who insisted that, in the holy name of “diversity,” and REGARDLESS of qualifications, people of pallor should step aside and let people of color take advantage of every opportunity. And wouldn’t that agenda include political opportunities, including the office of the president. Wasn’t this idea a ‘liberal’ idea that had something to do with history lessons coupled to indoctrinated media racists who think in terms of the infinite, eternal, but entirely illusory “debts and dues” of “racial identity,”

    (i.e., stereotypes) instead of REAL personal identities.

    And didn’t the Democrats insist that “justice n’ equality” is served equally well with liberal-led, government enforced color judgements, as when justice and equality rewards only the meritorious and penalizes only those PERSONALLY responsible for an evidentially established crime... real crimes and real perpetrators, established by individual names and unique events, places, and times as opposed to affirmative action’s presumption of “racial" criminals and victims established by meaningless statistics that prove only color coded differences but never their cause.

    So, Hillary, step aside...it was your idea to institutionalize white discrimination/black preferences and you certainly deserve no exclusion from your own racist stupidity.
