3. A couple of white guys at my job were talking excitedly about this
the other night. "We just want a fair chance," they said. I looked around the room and counted up all the bodies in our department. I would venture to guess that 80% of the workforce in our department is WHITE MALES. The rest are white females. There is a lone black man who, I'm afraid, just got fired for screwing up badly.

How do you talk sense to people like this? They are not seeing reality, they are listening to bullshit.

I get so steamed I don't know what to say. I hate when they argue politics in my presence. I usually tell them to take it somewhere else because many of them only listen to MSM, Rush Limbaugh, et al.

The only thing I could muster last night was, "you know, this is just another issue brought up to divide people so they don't realize how badly the government is screwing them by shipping jobs overseas and eliminating the middle class."

I would love to have an intelligent conversation sometime, but there are so few people left whose minds have not been totally corrupted by the bs they hear/read from the MSM.
