Diversity...

OK..I just read an article on CNN about how this guy is pissed that Obama's choices for office are not "diverse" enough. In his opinion there are not enough "Blacks or Hispanics" in the House.

I haven't paid a huge amount of attention to who Obama chose, lost most of my interest when he won..but that's politically driven..and has nothing to do with the fact that he is Black so no hate mail please.. I know Allen is impressed with the fact that for the most part his choices have been pretty middle of the road party wise..but seriously?? We're going to pick apart the choices based on race now??

Should someone not get a job because they are BETTER for the job??
Is it Obama's fault that he didn't feel a Hispanic was the perfect candidate??

I'm sorry..perhaps this is racist of me..or prejudice..but am I so wrong in thinking that just because you are Black..shouldn't mean you get chosen over the other guy/girl who might be better suited for the job??

This Country certainly does still suffer from Racism..and frankly..it goes ALL ways nowadays..hatred is not aimed at only one race..but we really need TOP NOTCH leaders..we should absolutely NOT be looking at their race as a reason for them to "get the job" it should be performance, achievements and experience.

This all is "in my humble opinion" only..what do I know?? I just know that this angered me. The article is quoted in saying "just because we have a Black President now does not mean we should stop diversity there it should be everywhere". Sure OK..it SHOULD be..but when your choices are what you have..I would much more appreciate the person be chosen for the above mentioned reasons than race. If the better person is Black..great..pick them..if they are white..great..pick them..but please don't overlook someone who is going to be better for the job because your choices might not appear "diverse" enough in doing so.

OK..I've vented..really it just seems all so backasswards to me..lets be more "diverse" but lets do what we've hated happening all along and judge people based on their race..and only choose people because it'll be more "diverse" looking. HUH?!
