A lot of white men have a right to be angry. Affirmative action has cost them a lot of jobs and a lot of opportunities in the select universities of the country. Especially white men in their 50s. It is younger white women who have benefitted, not blacks, who are a small part of the population(13%?)--in spite of what you see on TV. Males are now in the minority of students graduating from college these days.

Hillary Clinton is not the problem here--that anger is misdirected. The problem is affirmative action, which started during the Reagan years in the 80s. I've always thought Nancy was behind it, along with the congessional Democrats. It was more feminist than black. Discrimination is never good, one way or the other.

That a woman should run for President is a good thing--a black as well. The media spends a lot of time praising Obama for being the first serious black candidate, but you don't hear a whisper about Hillary being the first serious woman candidate. Maybe it's because all those pundits out there are white male--count 'em on NBC, Fox and the rest. The women should be up in arms about it. I understand the Wall St Journal and NPR have criticized the media for it.


As for the National RIFLE Association, they should stick to rifles. The problem in this country is handguns, not rifles. They should stay out of the handgun issue--it doesn't really affect hunters--and do the cops a big favor.
