  • Pat Buchanan is ignorant. First off, there is no such animal as "Reverse Discrimination," it is another one of those "up is down" myths! The truth is, white men have dominated society for centuries, and now that other ethnicities started using the law to demand equal protections now all of a sudden there is "reverse discrimination," puh-lease!

    Do these same white men feel reverse discrimination when white privilege has allowed their own to rape and pillage this nation for all of these years? Do these same white men feel reverse discrimination when a white woman gets "their" job or promotion? Do these same white men feel reverse discrimination when they are pulled over by a white cop? Do these same white men feel reverse discrimination when they are red-lined for a loan? The answer is no in all of the above! So Pat, go sit down, shut up, and quite your whining about a Latina that hasn't done anything white men have done and are continuing to do!

  • Pat has always struck me as the guy at the party who is just short of a couple of aces of a full deck.
