Black & White

This Story just hit me the wrong way - Social Security Racial Equity Debate.
Does Social Security (news - web sites) cheat black Americans? Yes, President Bush (news - web sites) insisted last week. But some Social Security experts say the answer is clearly "no."
No wonder racism is and issue everywhere you turn and will continue to be an issue - if it isn't Denny's or Wal-Mart, it is Social Security. The bad thing, there are things that are actually more important for the President and these economist to be doing then worrying about when the average black male dies or who has the "lower" average income therefore dictating who gets a larger return on their FICA; give me a break. Does anyone else believe, as I do, that this junk perpetuates racism?

There can't be a tragedy without the News telling us how many blacks or whites are involved in the death toll. Apply for a job online and your asked to voluntarily answer questions, one question is race; now why would that be? Although it is suppose to be illegal, some companies that need to keep their government contracts, have to hire based on race or sex - isn't that a hoot - require companies to break your own law all in the name of "fair". I understand there are some true racist of all colors in the world - they are simply ignorant and in most cases cannot be helped, but should we feed their hate with junk like this?

By the way; who, besides communist and maybe far left liberals, actually believes life is fair or will ever be fair? Fair is a relative term and what constitutes fair is defined by the user of the word "fair". If we devise a plan to make sure everything is "fair", "fair" will be defined by a select few not you or me, would that be "fair"? Hence, the world is not and will not be fair, believe it, know it, love it, and get on with life. This country was based on equality, which is vastly different then fair - we all are allowed equal opportunity to seek, not guaranteed, the American dream.
