There Must Be No More Racism, Then
Maybe the reason why the DOJ's civil rights division is comically lacking in minority lawyers is because, as the New York Times reveals today, the division's focus is on protecting religious conservatives instead of prosecuting racial injustice.

This is good. Christians have been persecuted by the secularists and their allies(who I will not mention, but you can guess). The majority of AfroAmericans are religious conservatives. Hispanics are not. Unfortunately, the past Democratic regime did not adequately protect the rights of Christian fundamentalists. They were victims of bigotry.

I'm sorry, but most Latinos are conservative in their religious views. And, "AfroAmericans," really?

Latinos are usually Catholic, not conservative Protestant. You should attend an AfroAmerican church for yourself and you will see that our churches are not liberal in theology and social practices(we are not in favor of same sex marriages like the liberal white churches-see Romans 1:26,27). It is true, when it comes to politics, we are the block that is responsible for the Democrats winning. We support the Democratic party for their economic position.

Was a bit of lashing out without a real point. If you've not bothered to study minority status....guess what...those "religious conservatives" *ARE* the minority, with somewhere between 20-30 percent estimated still existing in the USA....and conservatives tend to not go out of their way to push special interests....Civil equality is not about leveraging special interests, it never was...as it stands several law schools give a 10-40% boost in minority applicant status on the basis of fleshtone and non-religious/alternative-religious preference...so if you're not happy with how many
(boolean search for "civil rights lawyers" begins now)
black or (insert ethnicity) AND non-Christian
lawyers are out there, you could always go be a father figure to one of the 56% of african-american children who grow up in a single parent/non nuclear family...or one of the 23% of children as a whole who grow up without a dad. PS Happy father's day to the 44% and 77% who do care enough to be a dad.
Using minority-first affirmative-action logic we should probably excuse dodging dads.
That doesn't seem like good civil policy now does it?

Affirmative Action is institutionalized racism. Say no to racial profiling.

I am sure that a great deal of attention will be paid to the rights of athiests and agnostics not to be subjected to religious propaganda. Beware science,the inquisition is underway.
