Your interpretation is wrong.
i remembered.
like i said, you hate welfare people and you hate yourself for being one.Why are you such an idiot. If you're going to make fun of me, cannot you at least be intelligent about it?
i completely understand you.
Your interpretation is wrong.
Chumpdumper, can you elaborate on the comment about too busy being white to notice? For a moderate, you do seem to side with liberals and Democrats a lot.
I was simply saying that I would have enjoyed getting some affirmative action when I was going to college. It would have been nice having college paid for because of my evil white skin. At the university I graduated from, I always saw signs saying how students could get financial aid if they were Native Americans or internationl students. Nothing for evil whitey.
I get into a lot of arguments with board Republicans because they are the ones who try to get away with the most . I don't agree with all the Democrats' policies by a long shot.
You just said you didn't need them.I was simply saying that I would have enjoyed getting some affirmative action when I was going to college.Again, I told you where to look for them. I'm sure you could get someone to reward you for being white.It would have been nice having college paid for because of my evil white skin.Evil whitey can receive financial aid. There is no need for you to lie.At the university I graduated from, I always saw signs saying how students could get financial aid if they were Native Americans or internationl students. Nothing for evil whitey.
I did get financial aid. However, the financial aid was not like the affirmative action scholarships that are given to minorities. I have to pay back the financial aid that I received. I dare you to answer this question. I don't think you will but I go out on a limb and ask. Why should a minority get a scholarship based on their skin color while I am not allowed to get the same because I'm white?
Well, I'm not Chump, but the whole process is designed to give a leg up to minorities because they don't have built-up wealth due to policies from decades ago.
I agree that it's not 'fair', and think they would be better served to determine scholarships on a 'class-based' system rather than a race-based one.
Affirmative action also assumes that white people don't struggle or never need any help. It's racist to both whites and minorities. It assumes that minorities are weak and stupid and always need help. It also assumes that whites are powerful and wealthy and don't need any help.
Well said.
terrorists are weak compared to US troops, so they need help and aid. Give them some m4a1 to make the battles more violent.
I've never been a fan of reparations. The Native Americans alive right now did not suffer like the ones that suffered in the past so they don't deserve any reparations in my opinion. The same goes for slavery in America. Black people right now were never slaves in America so they don't deserve reparations. If you were alive and suffered during those times then yeah it would be understandable to get reparations but not now. So if minorities get affirmative action, it benefits me? How does a minority getting a college scholarship based on their skin color benefit me?
Because you're white.
You guys think the easiest questions are really difficult. You answered your onw one right there.
Now there are scholarships available to the economically disadvantaged as well - even if you are white. I couldn't tell you exactly when all the legacies of unfair policies towards minorities won't be felt or matter anymore; I'd be glad to abolish affirmative action at that time.
So you're saying that whites don't deserve affirmative action because of what happened in the past?
Yes.
Suck it up and enjoy your whiteness.
I'm not saying affirmative action is or ever was perfect, but I've got to say that being white is a pretty sweet deal in this country. If it gets to a point where it doesn't matter, I'll start whining right along with you.
I'm not whining. I just think it would have been nice to get a handout from uncle sam while I was going to college. And yes I got financial aid but I have to pay all of it back. Financial aid isn't really aid when you think about it. When you go to college for 5 and a half years, borrow 40,000 dollars, and wind up working at a retail store, it makes you wonder. But what do I know? I'm just an evil white person.
For the record, being white doesn't always give you advantages. Most of the time it doesn't give you an edge. Now in America, the main thing that gives you an edge is money. All of these affirmative action supporters don't realize or understand that there are a lot of white people that are poor and suffer just like minorities do. Not all whites are rich and powerful.
You're an idiot. Being white has nothing to do with it.
It's True: Nobody Cares About Poor Whites
No, unfortunately being white does have something to do with it. When it doesn't, I'll start with the whining.
If you really care about poor whites, what are you doing for them?
I didn't own slaves and I didn't steal any land from Native Americans. It sucks that stuff like that happens but happens. And I'm not gonna take the blame or responsiblity for those groups suffering when I had no part in it.
Professor Gates and President Obama; Bill Cosby and the thousands of wealthy, independent, entrepreneurial, intelligent, educated, and successful blacks blow your theory to .
I don't do anything for poor whites. I do for, and give to, the poor, no matter their race.
No, they don't change my theory that being white is a sweet deal here.
Thanks for answering a question that wasn't directed to you.I don't do anything for poor whites. I do for, and give to, the poor, no matter their race.
It appears being black is a sweet deal, as well.
To whom was it directed?
Not as much as being white.
Sorry, I thought Jacob had come up with an actual link to something. I didn't see you had taken up the standard for oppressed whites.To whom was it directed?
I don't know that. There are more poor whites than blacks.
I'd be interested to know if blacks are over or under represented in the top income bracket.
Well, pay attention.
I know that.
Why would you say they were overrepresented?I'd be interested to know if blacks are over or under represented in the top income bracket.
All white people's posts look the same me.Well, pay attention.
No, you don't. Based on what?
A statistical term. Is there a higher or lower percentage of blacks in the top income brackets than there is in the general population.
That's your problem, not mine.
