I'm not going to force any racial quota's, I'm not going to let any group force us to hire their group just because.

You as an individual have full control of where you end up. In my plan you make it or you don't.
In other words, you're gonna ignore discrimination. ok, next question.

What happens to those that don't make it?

That was addressed already.

Male/Female, rich/poor, black/white, gay/straight. All the same.

Maybe we're so used to filtering through a politicians bullsh*t we can't believe a direct answer without all the blabbing.

You asked if I was going to ignore discrimination and I replied:

That's about as direct an answer as I can offer. I don't allow discrimination but I'm not going to pander to some group promising them rose gardens either. Everyone gets treated the same, their individual results are of their own making.

Can we agree that discrimination happens?

And another pol trick, you pick and choose the questions you will answer. I also asked what happens to those that don't make it.

Ok, so what do you want me to do about it? All we can do is have non-discrimination laws in place. The other crap like quota's and other pandering political stupidity is a waste of time, the answer to discrimination isn't laws in favor of more discrimination.

There was no trick. I put it right there at the end as a stand alone statement.

What more do you want? Every individual has an equal chance at success or failure. If you fail I'm not going to "do" anything about it. What am I supposed to do go steal from someone else and give the money to the failure for a pity party? You failed, get up and try again.

Ok, I'll try again. What happens to the people that don't make it? I didn't ask what you are going to do about it...I asked what happens to them.

I'm trying to find out where your heart is. Tell it to me straight, Az. What will happen to those that get squashed by the system as it is?
