No more affirmative action
No more light jail sentences because of a bad childhood
No more looking the other way at petty crimes
No more double standards with racial slurs
No more low expectations
No more dwelling on the past

Good God, can we get through one week without race-baiting threads?
Black people, particularly black males have gotten harsher sentences than white males committing the same, or more egregious crimes. The exception is Chicago where all criminals are getting off with lighter sentencing because the prisons are overflowing and instructing the courts they can't handle more.
Not to mention, lighter sentencing - when it does happen - is often a result of witnesses who aren't willing to come forward. They're afraid to come forward, and who could blame them?
Ditto with petty crimes. Blacks, particularly black males, have been imprisoned for petty crimes where white males might get a fine and community service.
You can complain about double standards, that I'll grant you, but I think white progressives and the media are more to blame than black people are.
Low expectations? I've never lowered my expectations for anyone I've hired, so I don't get this line of *thinking*.
And as for affirmative action, white women have been the largest group to benefit from it.

I am not a fan of affirmative action, but I don't know about the rest of your list.
Chris Rock once said, "None of your white people want to trade place with me, and I am rich!" I think there is some truth to that statement.
I have a lot of white male friends who are not pc. I've asked them if they believed young black males have been treated harshly by society. They all said, yes, to a certain degree.
Blacks are more likely to get the book thrown at them than anyone else. Last I checked, Blacks are the ones who make up a majority in the prisons. I don't think the judicial system goes that easy on Blacks. And affirmative action, women benefit from that to a larger degree. As for dwelling on the past, tell that to people who fly Confederate flags.

This. 100% this.
If we didn't need AA for minorities and women?
It would not exist.

There is something else to think of. One would not know they are anot affirmative action recipient unless they are told such. It is certainly something I never thought about when I applied for collegexample. I figure if I have the grades, I get in.
If AA actually worked, Black college educated persons would have lower unemploymentioned rates than White college educated persons. The opposite is taking place.
