I'm going to use my own words so's I won't be held responsible for someone else's.

So, racing. People's bodies are like automobiles. I like 'em in red, even if that ain't really my color, but that's beside the point. The point is, that their bodies all work near abouts the same way, with some organs or components arguably better for acceleration, torque or stamina, but none of that really matter's if there's a lousy driver at the helm.

The driver is an embodiment of our consciousness and free will. Also, it gets a lot of attention at the start of the event, whether it be a race, or golf or somethin' before it gets lost amongst the other clubs. It's up to the driver, to make the most of what he is given, and that's what decides who wins the race.

Anyone assuming their equipment is superior could be a mite arrogant and anyone assuming their equipment is inferior might be makin' excuses.

I'm no expert geneticist or sociologist, just a casual observer. Those are just my thoughts and I welcome yours. And by welcome I mean I'll probably glance over the thread every now and again between lesson planning and writers block.

Sure a rigged race, where the white car can only compete if it cuts it's horsepower in half and gives it to the red, yellow, and brown cars. Seems fair to me.....Start your engines.

More likely they make they white car give up half it's fuel reserve and give it to cars less fortunate. Fortunately, the white car is resourceful and adaptable. It does not get discouraged when it's cheated out of a one stop race, but has the foresight to coordinate multiple pit stops, and travel light on extra soft tires.

And when there is a rain delay or something else unfortunate, guess who's already prepared to make multiple stops and deal with adversity.

They can try their best to 'redistribute' victory, but short of forcing the race to finish under caution (you know, like with congress and legislation), every colored car will have to earn what's theirs. Also like congress, officials who force issues in that manner are of like to be lookin' for a new job startin' November right?

Yep, whites have it soooo hard.

God, you're a fucking whiney pussy.

Many whites do have it hard because of affirmative action, Okay so I don't fit into it, however I am a libertarian and find the whole shit on the whiteman as just that...shit. As a black woman from Tanzania even I can see the unjustness of it all.
