40 % of my staff is black. We have no black attorneys at the moment, though we are only 5 attorneys in size right now and have a few in the past.
I am quite comfortable with the accuracy of my read of the situation, which is that there is a ton of resentment out there amongst white conservatives based on the perception that black people disproportionately use social services and programs based on re-distribution of their tax dollars.
Nothing you say would convince me that there is an undercurrent of retaliation in thier political philosophy, as a result.
If I'm wrong, so be it. But I know I am not.
I'd embrace more cuts in social spending myself if it weren't for the fact that so much of the true motivation for GOP-proposed cuts is transparently retaliatory.
I know you don't embrace that motivation, yourself, but reading this board day in and day out its pretty easy to confirm that a signfiicant percentage of people calling themselves conservatives want to cut social spending just 'cause they are mad at it.

It makes me mad because it allows people to be lazy and live off of other hard working Americans.
I have no problem giving money to those that are handicapped, disabled due to military service, and the elderly that have given to society and cannot afford to live off their retirement and Social Security.
I do, however, dislike my tax money being spent on crackheads, meth heads, career breeders, and the other useless bastages that abuse the welfare system in this country.
Why waste your time debating with the other side? You've already established their motives as evil. If you had an testicles, you'd go grab a machine gun and start mowing people down at the next Tea Party rally.
