Approximately 12% of the population in this country
came a long time ago from Africa. That means that Chuck Schumer's call out of
President Trump for naming 86% of his nominees as white people and condemning
him for supposedly not observing proportions of racial representation is
mistaken at best. Trump is actually scrupulously within the percentage
parameters, even assuming that such obligations are meaningful.
Some of the most prejudiced people I know are
people of color; of course, they have been encouraged to see things through
racially tinted glasses all their lives and to interpret all the slings and
arrows in terms of race. They've been taught to see things this way by
politicians keen on benefiting themselves from racially motivated voting blocks,
instead of letting people unify along lines that matter to all of us: lower
taxes, safer streets, better housing, more jobs, decent medical care and
schools.
Just like I don't believe in money, I don't believe
in race. We all bleed in one color: red. We all cry the same tears. That's good
enough for me.
