that list is total bullshit. it's made up entirely of overly sensitive generalizations. Inventing racism where it doesn't exist, it's the exact type thing that you guys profess to hate.
If you honestly believe that shit you are as worthless as al sharpton.

Shit look at the president.. makes very little compared to top executives in private industry.

It isn't like you to use profanity. You are sounding like iceteebone here.

The job of President is an investment. Do you think Cheney will get a raise when he goes back to Halliburton? I do.

Do you think Clinton makes a killing off book deals, speaches, promotional material for life.

Good point.

You're failing to make the distinction between a numerical minority and minority group status as a concept.

I thought we were underscoring the concept of the latter.

Those indirect benefits come after one has served his/her term. While one is serving there is very little direct compensation.

Except being able to dispatch the military where ever the hell you want.

It seemed like one more weak attempt at role reversal, in keeping with the sentiments established by the original poster.

As if anyone does it needs the money. Name one President in the last 100 years who wasn't already wealthy before becoming President.

Wealthy = annual pay >$100k

The racists out there perform selective role reversal.

Better point than previously mentioned "Good point."

My point exactly. Flip, probably with mischievous intent, questioned my distinction between power and wealth.

The president has much power, yet receives very little direct financial benefit.

White people just need one very outspoken, very loud spokesperson to get what we, as a race need done. After all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease...

Bill Clinton wasnt wealthy.

I also feel we should be making the distinction between wealth and income in this conversation.

What about military leaders?

Wealth, distinguished from income, doesn't necessitate power and power doesn't necessitate wealth.
