Shotgun house = protomobile home, except no hallway. Each doorway lines-up, front to rear. Kick in the outside door and cut loose. The back stoop is for washing and the loo is out back.

Its not specificly directed at any specific race....just any one who expects a free ride or special treatment just becasue they are not white.

I got banned last time ( as theVirginiaDude) because the biggoted moderator was FOR segregation ......at taxpayers expense at a school in Florida...and I argued that after 30+ years of screwing white people with affermative action nobody had any right to demand seperate High school proms for the blacks and another for the hispanics...

He got real indignant over that and banned me.

My clear stance....

NO affirmative action, No special treatment based on race or skin color.

NO grants loans or special assistance based on the same.

Everything with equal access for anybody thats a legal US citizen.

Probably the most intelligent response to a complex issue! :sun_smile

Like all programs designed to level the playing field where gross inequalities exist, its purpose is served in the early implementation. Eventually, many find a way to abuse it, and once exposed, create fallout and ultimate doom for the original program.
