Just a Thought

Does equal opportunity not apply to white men? I just saw an interview on TV where a black woman a minority on both Race and Gender say that white men should not have the same opportunity. The reasoning behind the lady saying this was that white men are more likely to get higher pay, more likely to be a CEO of a company, more likely to get a job over a minority. The truth in fact is the more in more likely only covers a small amount of jobs that are out there. The fact is it is a lot easier to fire a white man than any other minority. The fact is that white men are made to be ashamed of being white and a male. In the past it might have been good for the way they may have treated blacks or women but today there is only a few white males left from that era. I myself believe I should be just as proud of who I am as anyone else no matter what race or gender you are. Most of the time equality only rings free when the one that thinks they are being discriminated against is vindicated by getting a job that they most likely are not qualified for. You look at the business end of it. You have all of the minorities out there raising cane about equality expecting some service or company to cow down to their wish’s or demand’s. What a croc, the business should be able to hire or fire whoever they want to. The business more likely knows who is doing the jobs they need done or who they need to do a job. They don’t need someone to tell them how to run their business. Now let’s take a look at the Sports side of our society. When a High School has tryouts they don’t discriminate do they no they take the very best of the best? When a College goes out to recruit player’s for their sports they don’t discriminate do they, no they go for the very best of what they have to look at from the High Schools? When a Pro Team goes out to get a player they want to make sure they are getting the best player, are these Pro Teams discriminating? No, they are getting the best player for their money, and only have to choose from what the Colleges and High Schools have giving them to choose from. What about that scrawny white kid that was a late bloomer and didn’t make the team because they were not as talented as some of the black kids. The High School doesn’t have to follow the same rules as business right, or do they? They have to make accommodations for the girl’s right? Why not for race? Should they not say because they have to be equal in choosing the same amount of white kid’s as they do black kids no matter what talent they have. No, nobody wants to do that they don’t want to have a losing team. But if you think about all the black guy’s that got fully paid scholarships based on talent not by the color of their skin. Why can’t the white guy that was a late bloomer that has the talent now but has been left behind because they chose talent over skin color. He has no way of getting the education the black guy was giving because he was not choosing in High School. He will not get that free ride the black guy got because of his talent. If there were more white guy’s on the team’s getting free rides to College, don’t you think there would be a Reverend from NAACP be at the schools demanding equal treatment. Why is there no equal treatment for the white guy’s that want to play sport’s but are just not as talented as a black athlete. When people start to making things equal for all then there may be equal opportunity for white men. Until then the equal right thing is a crock of shit. Make sports obey the laws just like any other business. Also make black owned business’s obey the laws. I have seen a number of black owned business’s only have black employees, should they get to only hire who they want to just because they are black
