Your analogy is not the same thing. We are talking about jobs in the US Government, not a synagogue. I have no problems with anyone of any race being represented anywhere in our government. Our country is a melting pot of various ethnic backgrounds. Hell, look at my job now. In my company, we have white, Hispanic, black, Asian, Muslim and just about every other ethnic background serving side by side. I am just sick and tired of non whites getting to do whatever the hell they want in this regard, but if whites try to do the same, we are racist or oppressors. All I know is I am sick of living in America. Seven more years and I will take me and my retirement overseas and not have to deal with this crap any more. And please do not get me wrong, I love my country and will die for her if I have to, and I am and always will be proud to be an American, and I will never give up my citizenship. I am just tired of all this bullshit that we have to put up with, and as far as I can see it is only going to get worse. I made my point and I stick to it. No more to be said by me on this because no one is going to change my mind.
