Reply #44: I`m dismayed to see this attitude from Webb

[Blue_Tires]

and I say this as a (black) Virginian and someone who voted for him...

I realize he`s going to have a serious challenge from a race-baiting opponent, and has to position himself before the smear commercials start running, but his assertions are filled with straight-up myths, half-truths and scant details...

For all the words, stats and history he cites, he has ZERO concrete details or examples of how his so-called "aggrieved majority" is being victimized by these programs--He doesn`t even say which programs are unjust and how...AND he of course neglects that white women have been by FAR the biggest beneficiaries of "affirmative action" (a term that needs to die anyway, since if it were such a big boogeyman I would have actioned myself to the top of some company by now)....

Even people who have legit gripes against affirmative action can cite some real evidence to support these claims...Webb is dropping some racially tainted buzzwords to strengthen his re-election and nothing more before the opposition paints him as the Obama-loving candidate of the black voters...(because, it`s not like any of us helped him get elected the last time around...)
