Yeah, except I've never met a wealthy African-American. You forget...the South is still poor. When there is wealth it's still in the hands of the whites. Which means we still co-mingle with the same. I think it's been said on here before that if an African-American were to have the same interests come from an old-line family and meet the standards applied to everyone else, we wouldn't hesitate at giving him a bid. This is not affirmative action. We don't give out bids to less qualified to meet some sort of race quota. Goddamn. However, since we only have one or two black guys come through rush every year, it's fairly unlikely to meet a quota if we were to have one.

Don't play the race card every time you get a chance, thanks. It gets old, especially when someone as poorly informed as you does it.

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
