Look around, at some point whites will be minorities. Let go and embrace it.

I get along with the minorities, don't have problems with them, like I mentioned somewhere my best friends are Bolivian.......I just detest preferential treatment doled out based on race....

BHD, what about all the "best and the brightest" that you were so hot to defend getting into college? Seems to me that the CINC believes affirmative action is just dandy. Sec. of State Rice also acknowledged that she was the beneficiary of affirmative action when she was a grad student at Stanford and her subsequent appointment as deputy provost of Stanford included consideration that she was black, female and young, according to then Stanford President Gerhard Casper. Gee, it seems the world is just so unfair.

Then there's the classic affirmative action story of former Sec of State, Colin Powell. President Carter's Secretary of the Army Clifford Alexander, when originally sent an all-white list of candidates for the position for brigadier general, Alexander rejected it, demanding a list that included some blacks. From the revised list, Alexander chose Powell.

One reason Powell wasn't on the original list is that he was, at 42, below the age normally considered eligible for promotion to brigadier general. An exception was made in order to give Secretary Alexander a black as he had requested.

The Democrats were against racial parity 60 years ago....and they still clearly are against it now.

So, MTI, you just said it. Apparently affirmative action has done its job. Lets get rid of it now...If you wait long enough people argue against themselves.

MTI · #51 03-22-2005, 09:44 PM

I look forward to the day when affirmative action ceases to be beneficial.

And just who might have called it that? Did the Cherokee's ever say "Hey, thanks for making us take that walk . . ."?

Benifical to one party at the obvious expense of the other....much like afirmative action. Both screw somebody by their very nature.

Dude, your in Hawaii!!!! Come on over to California, you'll see taint nobody got trouble getting by but "white" people, and we dont *****, we just get along and go elsewhere. The McDonalds, have all "hispanics" or whatever working there. The Weinerschnitzels, all Asian owned and usually operated, which seems strange to me?

Panda Express, and driving ranges, same thing. Auto Garages and field workers, "latinos", i'll say it... most Blacks around here are on welfare or in jail/prison... Its a fact. Middle-Eastern people have taxi companies and own stores, and even the Mercedes-Benz dealership!!!, and the colleges are mostly mexicans too! Indians have their casinos and do real well. Nobody is being oppressed... You make your own life, unless you are lazy and need a crutch from the government. Im sick and tired of all these "world owes me a living" worthless whiners. Spend a week with me I'll give you a tour of exactly why not to support affirmative action. When you see the people it helps you dont want it to help anyone. In fact, there was a Hispanic scholarship given out a couple years ago, a white guy had to claim it because none of the hispanics qualified. Should these lazy people be rewarded for not doing anything but being something other than white? That sounds really dumb to me! You cant solve racial discrimination with racial discrimination!

Demorcrats try to convince their minority voters they need affermative action to be as good as everyone else....and never put minorities in positions of importance...

Republicans tell them they are equals and appoint them to positions of importance......

who really is the party of oppression.....here's the hint.....they still don't understand what the definition of having sex with someone really is.

I was in Oakland, taking the Cal Bar Exam, last month. Compared to when I first took a bar exam, I was struck by the diversity of the law students. Perhaps triple the number of women and minorities sitting for the exam. Affirmative action is still working. Being "color blind" doesn't make things "all good" until there is some leveling of the playing field.

BTW, minorities don't have a monopoly on being unmotivated. lazy, entitlement seeking slobs. I've also lived down in San Josie and seen my share of "trash" in various colors.

I just infuriated enough to speak my mind here!

But I'm typing this post while in prison for welfare fraud...

With some luck in about 100 years or so, there will be enough intermingling of races, that there will no longer be a true caucasian or latino or Asian or whatever.
Then again...some dope will probably find some lame reason to not like some part of the population, and the finger pointing will start all over again.
