Rep. McKinney

I don't have much in common with Rep. DeLay. Don't really know much about him other then he has some legal problems but I completely agree with his statement regarding Rep. McKinney. Her scuffle with the Capitol Police is about her racism and not the police officers. In these litigous (is that a word?) times many a minority finds it easy to scream racism and attract attention. This makes it much harder for anyone to defend themselves as proving a negative is very hard, 'I am not a racist' just doesn't work as well as 'You are a racist'.

This carries over into many other areas, all claiming discrimination in some form or another. Try firing a minority. Files to fire a minority have to be twice as thick and much more documented then to fire a non-minority.

I don't deny that racism and discrimination exist, they do, just not at the level that many rather vocal members of minorities would like you to believe.
