Because of the soft bigotry of affirmative action.
Sure I do.My charmed white life.Based on what?
I'm sure you won't actually look it up.A statistical term. Is there a higher or lower percentage of blacks in the top income brackets than there is in the general population.
It's a cross I'll have to bear as a white person.That's your problem, not mine.
Well, I guess Barack Obama led a charmed black life. Kind of cancels your logic. Anecdotes are not evidence.
Neither will you.
I guess so.
Racial? Not necessarily. Would Obama's daughters be eligible for legacy admission at Harvard? Are there legacy admissions at predominantly black schools? I think it has more to do with class than race.
Doesn't make it right. Racism is racism, no matter to whom it is directed.
Are we still not familiar with who are the primary beneficiaries of Affirmative Action? Also, why do people only focus on the racial aspect of it? Oh what am I saying, continue with your fear of a Black planet.
And minorities nowadays had no part in taking money away from you, as they didn't write the legislation
Honestly, it seems petty to me to decry benefits for Native Americans by saying, "Hey, I know it was OUR government that stole all your stuff, but they're all dead, so you're screwed."
If you found out that there was a large sum of money that once belonged to your grandfather, would you be mad if the government took it instead of giving it to you? I mean, you didn't EARN that money...
Given that they're over represented in the prison population, and most inmates come from lower-class families, I'm guessing the answer would be no.
There is a such things as set-aside programs that are available to Whites who attend a majority minority school. I guess that is reverse reverse racism.
Of course, not every minority gets affirmative action. Some either don't get it because they aren't fortunate enough or they don't want it. Some minorities believe in hard work. I give props to minorities that don't take handouts from uncle sam and work their asses off to get ahead in life. I will never accept responsibility for what happened to Native Americans hundreds of years ago. I wasn't there and I didn't do it. Are you gonna tell me that all Germans are responsible for the Holocaust? You gonna tell me that say a teenager from Germany is responsible for something that happened decades ago? Besides, I'm sure if you did research into your own ancestry, you could probably find out that one of your ancestors was a slave. Does that mean you're en led to reparations? no. That wasn't you. You weren't the one that suffered. None of my ancestors owned slaves. My ancestors were poor white people. And yes, you had to be rich to own slaves. A lot of people fail to mention that. I'm not gonna be blamed for that happened a long ing time ago.
Obama is your anecdote.
I wasn't the one that pretended it was a point in my favor.Neither will you.
It's so though being white in America.I guess so.
Actually, there are hundreds of thousands of blacks that are leading charmed lives all over this great country. Obama is just the most obvious...being the leader of the free world and all.
I actually asked the question.
well then by your own nihilistic view you should just deal with the " happens" aspect of affirmative action and move on.
That's what I should do. Thanks for the advice.
Anecdotes.
You stated that you wonder and didn't follow through.I actually asked the question.
