People here seem to forget the point of affirmative action, it's so 2 qualified people have the same chance of getting a job, and one doesn't get passed over because of their race. There is nothing wrong with that. It has nothing to do with where one's family came from or how long they have been here. We're not talking about reparations for past sins, we're talking about equal chance to the same job.



You couldn`t be more wrong!


The point to Affirmative Action is to preserve the old boys network so that white fat cat fathers can hand down wealth and status to white fat cat sons while the white males born into poverty suffer lost opportunity because of privilege that has never been theirs.


Leftist love it because they hate white males regardless of their economic and social standing.


Blacks and women love it because they get free stuff.


The wealthy love it because it does nothing to interfere with our unofficial cast system.


Democrats love it because they can buy votes with it and still keep their wealthy donors happy.

How many blacks have attacked or killed whites out of hatred and it's never been called a hate crime.

How many whites have performed a lynching on a black pregnant woman or black youth or man and it has not been called a hate crime?

Why It's So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism

Although I would say it's more of a white male, than white female problem since it is white men who are the decision makers in this country. I've found white women are more likely to try and understand and empathize with different people, as opposed to right-wing white men who are "my way or the highway" types. You're never going to change their minds, they're too set in their ways.

Why people like me don't really give a damn about your feelings, but the facts are certainly plain as day:

None that I know of since the term "hate crime" was invented.


Is this a hate crime? It's racially motivated, but it's not being called that. Why not?

I guess you never heard of quotas.
