Positive discrimination (hm) Sure, I mean if a man who is rich should be positively treated. That's why he gets to pay for legal defense that is vastly superior not only to that of the poor, but also, often, stronger, than the prosecution's offense. Rich people should get political advantages also. They should be able to influence politicians and have more power than their one vote via lobbyists, etc. Rich people need this extra help because they have more complicated problems than those people who are trying hoping to get by. Powerful companies should get positively discriminated and be able to influence government spending. for example it is just fine that energy and arms corporations had vastly more influence than most smaller companies when it came to, say, the war in Iraq. These companies stand to make billions on their influence. They need that advantage. What little company could take such advantage of influence? No, the big companies need the positive discrimination. And so on.
LOL @ the main poster. It's amazing the continous stream of ignorance that never stops in society at large. Einstein said there only two things that are infinite the universe and human stupidity.
Government assistance! ARe you really that naive Baron Max or do you simply think in the boxes you are given. Let take one (big example) Haliburton. They received contracts in Iraq for work which there is very little oversight on and they can bill at whatever levels they like. There was no bidding process for these contracts and the war itself was in part started because of lobbying by companies like Haliburton and Cheney who worked for them Haliburton's top dogs are making billions of dollars through, guess what, government assistance. How many of those top dogs do you think are black? None. Shall we talk about how the government has reduced taxes on investments including speculative investments where you make money if things go badly. There is no way to confuse this with work. In fact some people have made millions off of the recent foreclosures. Millions for not working, not taxed because of government assistance. You've been trained to see your problems or the unfairness in life is, wow, primarily coming from people with not a lot of power. Yeah, let's gnash our teeth about how the poor are getting too much. What a perfect distraction from the some of the rich who are making far vaster sums of money much of it with blood stains on it.
Oh boy, here we go again. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Where did you get this from? There are plenty of black run businesses that are successful, where do you live? How exactly does one "make it impossible to fail"?:shrug: BET Holdings Inc Ault Inc Antra Holding Group Radio One United American Healthcare Corp DME Interactive just to name some.... America had this thing called segregation, and it's after effects left black communites extremely poor and without infrastructure. In order to start a "major" enterprise, you need financial backing. Banks have long discriminated against blacks, so how exactly are black people supposed to create major corporations in mass numbers?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! There are many black owned and operated businesses in the USA. Just not as many "major" enterprises. Money is the issue. You need money, to make money.$$$$
