Buchanan: "What is happening now to white men right now is exactly what was done to black folks for years"

Why are Reps all such victims?

After viewing the clip I have to add this. I'm a white guy. I've been turned down for promotions many times when I was the best qualified person for the job. Sometimes the other person was a white man and sometimes it wasn't. It had nothing to do with affirmative action. Sometimes a hiring manager just decides they like someone better even if they aren't the most qualified. Sometimes they think someone is better for the job based on personality or a million other things. That's life. It's a whole lot different than being systematically excluded from certain jobs based on the color of your skin.

Ah yes - our "reverse discrimination" plan is coming together nicely. Before long, us white guys will be able to drink from special drinking fountains, not have to sit at the counter in the diner, get our own schools... It'll be a martyrs paradise!

Good lord. When does Buchanan's contract with MSNBC run out?

Every time there is a race-sensitive issue that comes up, they feel like they have dust off this old dinosaur to spew more insensitive uninformed bigotry.

Why not just have an entire show that just puts crack pots and loons on to draw viewers ... Oh, riiiiight, we all have THAT CHANNEL @ FNC!

Joan Walsh did an excellent job trying to explain basic concepts to two people who don't understand the law or business practice and would rather yell than listen than consider an alternative perspective. More heat than light, as usual. I wonder why it didn't occur to Tweety's producers to invite to the show someone who is an expert about this part of the law (such as a good employment attorney or a good industrial psychologist)? They would have clarified the issues in the case rather than shout and get emotional like Tweety and Bucky. They would have been informative and interesting.

If you surf the web for info about this case Ricci v. DeStefano, you'll find it - and learn that a lot of what Tweety and Bucky were fussing about is pretty settled. The key (but not the only) question in the case seems to me to be, once the city set aside the promotion test results because (a) NO blacks passed it and (b) there was inadequate evidence that the results had ANYTHING to do with job performance in the jobs for which the test was used, what DID the city do to select the persons to be promoted?

The simple fact, Pat, is that you'd be out of work if you weren't an angry white man.

OH MY GOD RETIRE you old windbag! You're embarrasing the educated children of America.

WTF? Oh...right Pat...white men are being hung on trees while black families dance and sing songs around the same trees. That's right, Pat...white men are being killed for looking at black women. That's right , Pat....it's exactly the same thing...I mean, we all know white men don't have the right to vote....I mean...yes, Pat...

So, any white guy that doesn't get accepted is denied bc of affirmative action?

Does this mean that White Christain males will get an honorable mention in the Hate Crimes Bill along with the Pedophiles and the Homosexuals.

Is someone forcing Buchanan into chains and making him pick cotton or something?

S. I Hayakawa said that those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat. In Buchanan's case, those who are ignorant of history project victimhood upon themselves, and in so doing land lucrative TV contracts.
