like I said - they are having a ball ...

Being black in the US today presents an amazing and unfair advantage ... you and I should seriously consider getting us some "tan" ... surgical procedures and technologies can do wonders these days and you can always set a tanning bed on "max" too.
Do you think that the prejudices they face and their environments (urban) more than even out those advantages?

You are not a very good conspiracy theorist

Also, in the early days of Christianity there have been some popes of North African origin - nothing afaik has been recorded about their skin colour (race as a concept didn't really exist back then, at least not in the way we today think of it), but it would be weird if they weren't at least Arab or "brown".

The Catholic church is also pretty openly sexist when it comes to who is allowed to hold positions.

And the comparison is besides the point really, in the Catholic church there are rules against women becoming popes, in the US there are none against women becoming president, and there haven't been for a long long time - yet no woman has ever been president.
That what i trying to say
It easier for woman became a US president than became Pope

You know, if you think about it and step back it's really remarkable that there has not yet been a female US president. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Clinton should be elected because of this fact, but let that sink in for a minute: half the population has never had a person of their gender as president. Half the population.
not referring to you but it's funny how half the population is basically represented as a minority

No woman has ever been a navy seal either, so you think that too is weird

Bullshit, blacks have more rights than whites, affirmative action
Not really. There are physical requirements to be a navy seal that objectively make men better at the job.

No such thing for presidents.

Yup, Blacks (and women) face a lot of "informal" discrimination. You can argue whether it's the right approach to try to correct these kind of disadvantages with legal "privileges" in the other direction, but it's flat out misleading to say that they enjoy more rights.

Of course in some areas men face informal discrimination as well (e.g. working in kindergardens, paternity leave), but I'd argue it's far less common than the other way around.

A Republican candidate for New York’s state senate is taking heat after he promised to give out free fried chicken and watermelon to people who attended one of his campaign events in Harlem.

NBC 4 New York reports that Jon Girodes, the Republican candidate for New York’s 30th District, told the news station that he planned to hand out “Kool-Aid, KFC and watermelons” to people who attended a Harlem campaign rally in the coming weeks.

Harlem, of course, is a majority black neighborhood, and watermelons and fried chicken are two foods that are used to stereotype black Americans. All the same, Girodes doesn’t think there’s anything offensive about his stunt since people in the neighborhood should be grateful that they’re getting free food.

“What I think is anyone who gives free food to people is doing them a favor,” Girodes told NBC 4 New York’s I-Team. “Get a bunch of people who say it’s offensive and let me go into their neighborhood and give it out for free and see if they take it.”
I mean that's straight out of 4chan :lol: :sergio:
