Yeah, Bill’s right the civil rights fight goes on and thanks partly to him and mostly his political party it is now white Christians that need their civil rights back Affirmative action is just a long term for BULL CRAP. Having been the victim of discrimination against whites I know that no government agency gives a damn about racial inequality unless you are anything other than white; if your white you’re just SCREWED!
Discrimination will end when blacks accept that it is their responsibility to care for themselves and to stop blaming whitey for all their ills.
Don’t hear most other racial groups biotching like the blacks…. but according to Eric Holder we are all cowards for not speaking up about racial issues.

CINCINNATI – The push for racial equality is far from over, in sports and in everyday life, former President Bill Clinton told a crowd at Major League Baseball’s Beacon Awards on Saturday, part of Civil Rights Game.
Clinton, who as president took part in MLB’s ceremony retiring Jackie Robinson’s No. 42 uniform number in 1997, spoke at a luncheon honoring Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, Muhammad Ali and entertainer Bill Cosby for the trio’s contributions to civil rights and charitable works.
The former president told a crowd of about 1,400 at the Duke Energy Convention Center that despite such racial progress as the election of Barack Obama as president, problems remain that disproportionately hit minorities. Clinton cited unemployment, the mortgage crisis, high cost of college, and access to health care among continuing issues.
“A lot of people might be tempted to believe that the struggle — which both produced these three giants of sports and comedy and gave them the power to help so many others — that struggle for racial equality is over,” Clinton said.
“But I really came here to say if you want to honor Hank Aaron and Muhammad Ali and Bill Cosby, you must first recognize that this struggle is nowhere near over,” he said.
The luncheon was among events leading to Saturday night’s first regular-season Civil Rights Game, between the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds.
