So it's a draw.

Malia probably didn't deserve to get into Harvard.

Just like her father didn't.

(We KNOW he didn't because -- by his own admission -- he was a lousy student who slacked off AND a druggie.)

This is about unqualified people getting in because of their race.

I've already explained that.

Harvard needs money to be the best.

I don't think Malia would be satisfied with a third-rate dump, do you?

I agree.

But we're not talking about being talented enough.

We're talking about people who aren't talented enough -- and so they need affirmative action.

Why should I have to prove the obvious?

Racial preferences for non-whites over whites, and gender preferences for women over men, are perfectly legal in this country.

So discrimination against whites and males is legal.

But discrimination against non-whites and women is not legal.

You seem very sensitive to racism and discrimination -- except when it is directed at others instead of yourself.

Then I'm sure you agree that we should get rid of it.

You have no proof that she is qualified.

Oh, big deal.

Getting into UT.

Stop the presses!

All this, and you still didn't address the full quote in context that I explained.

That's pretty much what I thought, you can't. Don't worry, you can blame AA for it, too.

And these famous entrepreneurs dropped out of college, so you fail....again.

We're done here.

Malia deserved to get into Harvard. Otherwise she wouldn't have been admitted. Harvard gets to choose the best of the best.

And her undeserving (according to you) father graduated with honors from Harvard. A fact.

Based on what? According to Obama himself... "It wasn't nothing you did."

Yep, nothing we did. Except build an elite university he wants his kids in.

I honestly don't get what the big deal is, and really think the kids should be off limits.

But let's assume some of you are correct and she didn't quite meet the requirements but was let in anyway. Why do you care? Maybe that's one of the perks for having a job most people in their right mind would never want, particularly given the salary.

Our country is a mess, we have two shady self-serving idiots running for office so we're screwed, and THIS is what you're taking issue to?

Shaking my head.
