Racism

What is your problem with affirmative action? Do you feel we need something better or do you feel that minorities don't need any aid at all, they'll be fine on their own?

The latter.
it still had a sign in the window that said "No Coloreds."

Call me evil, but I probably would have laughed at that.

Dude... that's not funny. 😐

Call me evil.

Well than we would be waiting for racial equality for quite some time. Things wont really be equals in this country until poverty and race don't go hand in hand. I don't think just giving minorities jobs is the best way to go either, I believe you need to start earlier than that and improve inner city schools. Instead of just lowering the qualifications for minorities, make a good education and the means for those qualifications equally accessible for all races. But since that seems nearly impossible, affirmative action might help in the mean time.

Uhh...what!?

It's my new obsession with Brave New World. I will now often be referring to it.

Hey I answeared the question just like you did.So give it up!and feel free to put me on your ignore list.If you are on mined.And you have me on yours well then it is even.JM

didn't you even read my last post? and what are u saying? i'm on your list?

as for affirmative action, its a double edged sword imo. it helps minorities get jobs, which is great, but to do it at the expense of someone better qualified, no matter their race, is wrong imo.

Racism is everywhere! And no matter how much people deny it., EVERYONE is racist to sertain degree, even IF it is the teeniest ammount.

Thats not true...i grew up not giving a rats @ss about other people's skin colour or race. Im bi-racial and have witnessed and heard many different racist comments. I have never been racist to any certain degree...

EVERYONE is racist to sertain degree, even IF it is the teeniest ammount.

bullshit...

sorry Kosta but I agree with the others I don't believe it

Hmmm...there was a woman on TV just now who said that she voted for Rueben Studdard (or something along those lines 🙂) because he was a "brother". Now, if I went on TV and said that I voted (assuming that I actually gave a damn) for Clay Aiken because he was white, there would be an uproar.

exactly

Course there'd be an uproar.
I mean, imagine this, "Im voting for Clay Aiken because he's white."
😐

its true, there is such a double standard...

Anyone know who Alan Keys is?He is a black republican who tryed to ran for President but the dems said no because he is black and Republican.
Talk about being racist!JM

the democrats were against a republican running for president??? 😱

oh the humanity! 😑

You want to end racism? Toss out affirmative action and start Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon organization and production of people.

theres a great chris quote about affirmative action....."i'm not saying that i should get in school over a white kid if he has a higher test score, but if its a tie...****'EM they've have there 100 years"

i'm against organizations like the United Negro College Fund and generally all special scholarships for minorities.

If there was an equivalent scholarship fun for whites....there would be a huge uproar just like with the Ruben vs. Clay arguement above.

Of course that would cause such an uproar..but of course the lady said "i voted for him becuase hes a brother" and nobody cares? Why is that?
