Read this, and then tell me that you didn't gasp!
Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said minorities earn less than white people because they don’t work as hard and have less initiative.
“We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them.”
Wait, what!!!! This is exactly why we need affirmative action programs, to prove these kind of people wrong! Minorities can work just as hard as whites, and we know it!
Anyways, this created a huge outburst and a lot of media coverage. Later on she apologized for her comment.
