Stop Oppressing Whitey!

MSNBC's kindly old grampy character, Pat Buchanan, continues to believe that white people -- 70 percent of the population and rulers of the world for thousands of years -- are being oppressed.

MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan took his white man’s grievance road show to the Laura Ingraham program today, where he lambasted the Obama administration’s effort to hire more minorities to the civil service. He complained that, if anything, there are too many people of color in the federal bureaucracy as it is. Saying minorities are “inordinately overrepresented” in the civil service, Buchanan said there’s “affirmative action for women, for Hispanics, and for blacks, but none for white males.” The oppressed majority’s numbers “are diminishing, dramatically,” he warned.

Yep. And Mark Halperin was suspended for saying the word "dick" on Morning Joe. (I hasten to note that I don't like Halperin either, but, you know...)
