WHITE POWER
[QUOTE=CivilProtection;18839229]And once again the so called "solution" to racism in employment only ends up causing more discrimination in the end. Affirmative action has done more harm than good. Shouldn't we try to educate disadvantaged minorities rather than just force them in to jobs or colleges that they would have trouble with?[/QUOTE]
uhh, the point of college is to educate someone
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;18841845]uhh, the point of college is to educate someone[/QUOTE]
what i mean is someone who barely cares about studying and is essentially a dumbass shouldn't go into college unless they're actually good enough for it.

you should learn what affirmative action is

let me guess, Obama is racist too

Maybe you should go to college and learn what Affirmative action is.

Maybe you should experience affirmative action. I'm a Hispanic student living in a country where, even though my family is relatively wealthy, I'm offered a free ride from universities across the country simply because I excelled on the qualifying tests, and...I'm Hispanic.
Hispanics, blacks, whites, Asians, natives...we're all no less capable. The civil rights goal was accomplished more than 40 years ago, why can't we drop it and level the playing field to qualification over race?
Giving poorly performing minority candidates a free ride due to their race disgusts me.

What the hell are you talking about. I'm a Jew and I have tons of Latino friends and they have had nothing of a free ride at all.

They, as well as I, worked our fucking asses off to get where we are.
This is a good thing.
Finally, a white person can sue for racism.

Second, she's not a racist. I support Affirmative Action, I'm a racist? Nice.[/QUOTE]
I usually agree with you Trotsky, but this time I don't. Affirmative action is a racist policy so, yes; supporting it makes you a racist. It should never be acceptable to give someone a job, a scholarship, or a college education over someone else just because they are of a different colour.

oh that's jenkem, the braindead member of our wonderful forum.

NOW, if it were a white person keeping black people out, Jenkem would be no where to be found.[/QUOTE]
He would probably put in an appearance to say that while racism is bad, it goes both ways you know and reverse racism happens all the time and can we please talk about that instead
[QUOTE=Barack Obama;18843061]He would probably put in an appearance to say that while racism is bad, it goes both ways you know and reverse racism happens all the time and can we please talk about that instead[/QUOTE]
There's no fucking thing as reverse racism to begin with. There is only racism, racist policies, and racist people.
I was paraphrasing
[QUOTE=Barack Obama;18843165]I was paraphrasing[/QUOTE]
I just hate the term reverse racism. Wouldn't the reverse of racism be tolerance?
But I was paraphrasing
[QUOTE=Barack Obama;18843318]But I was paraphrasing[/QUOTE]
I know, I was just stating an opinion Obama. What, are you going to take away freedom of speech just like your trying to take our freedom to pay for health care?!
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;18836126]no, you're assuming things. The white firefighters sued because because they didn't get a promotion for doing well on a certain test because not enough minorities took the test, so the test was ignored.[/QUOTE]
That's idiotic. Glad they ended up getting their promotion.
[QUOTE=FLoggin Moffins;18841280]Like I said before, anyone can be a firefighter; it's not a hard job. Why make such a big deal about who's more qualified?[/QUOTE]
Yeah rushing into burning buildings, and fighting fires that destroy entire forests is piss easy right lets just hire some Mc donalds workers and see how they do.

If you were a poor minorty, something tells me you wouldn't be so outspoken.

You're arguing at the guy that throught it would be a smart idea to sand his face since people said it didn't look pretty.
[QUOTE=Trotsky;18843432]If you were a poor minorty, something tells me you wouldn't be so outspoken.[/QUOTE]
Explain your stance on this please. I've heard enough arguments from the people who say it's racist but I've not heard much from someone who seems to be in more support of it.

As opposed to... you?

I'm disappointed that you'd resort to that.

I'm glad to see someone is actually fighting affirmative action. Bunch of bullshit if you ask me.
Affirmative action is far from ideal but it's better than pretending a level playing field exists without it

Yes, because discrimination in the world is dead
well, SUPER

but but the civil rights act was passed in the 60s surely there's no racism anymore
