Obama, veritably surrounded by a sea of lily-white faces. I guess that makes him a racist.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

This a problem of the appointment of interns. When you see a picture of Obama's interns you see diversity. When you see Trump's appointees you see WHITE.Last edited by shunyadragon; 04-02-2018, 11:43 AM.

Trump's is the least diversified cabinet in MANY years. Obama and Bush, by comparison, at least came close to 50% women and minority representation. Some will undoubtedly make the argument that a "merit-based" cabinet will not always be diversified. For me, that argument is a non-starter. I believe the nation is best served by a cabinet of capable people who represent the cross-section of America. This team cannot represent all Americans if there is not reasonable representation of our cross section. It is hard for me to believe that, in all America, there was only one white woman, one Asian woman, and one black man qualified to serve on this body. Previous presidents also made sure to have some voices of the opposition in the cabinet, with Obama setting a record at three Republicans. Trump also set a recent record: zero.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
