| Look at Jamestown, Acadia, Quebec, etc... There was no level playing field - yet the Europeans overcame enormous odds to thrive. Education and job market today is the same deal - URMs are given a silver spoon. |
You have to be kidding. Something like 90% of the Senate is white. You don't need a month to spotlight your "talents." |
What on earth are you taking about? Look at slavery. African Americans overcame brutal torture and SURVIVED and created beauty. White people are so damn whiny it's ridiculous. |
Wow Hitler is alive and posting on dcum |
I'm sorry. Are reform Jews actually Nazis? http://www.reformjudaism.org/were-jews-slaves-egypt No, they are not. Even the broken clock of Hitler is right on occasion. |
| Growing up as a white male in the 1980s meant that I had to work harder and more efficient. Now my kids benefit from my experience and achieve more despite the fact that the system is rigged against them |
Please explain. How did you have to work harder and more efficientLY? |
| If whites move out of an area it is evil white flight. If whites move into an area it is evil gentrification and displacing longtime residents. Someone needs to specify the exact right amount of white involvement?in an area so that we meet y'all's standards. |
Whites are always the center of attention. It's a blessing and a curse. |
I don't trust just any random internet site that quotes books to compile an argument. When one uses a book as evidence that also proclaim omnipotent space men who preform magic party tricks to draw loyalty as real, one must use a heavy does of skepticism. The Bible is a compileing of a bunch of mostly pagan and Jewish oral history after hundreds of years of being spiced up for effect. Yes some of the stories have light history woven in by history was never the focus. |
The system may be unequal but so is the competition, they will be fine. |
Great, so you agree there's little to no evidence they were slaves. And that website is not random -- check the author's credentials and sources. Don't just dismiss it as fake news. |

White male back again - college academic advisor said that I needed at least a 3.5 GPA to get into a good law school. He added - if I was black 3.0 was overkill and if I was hispanic a 2.5 was great.
Affirmative action means that truely qualified individuals lose opportunity while the URM loses credibility. |
Seriously. The person you are quoting is fucking detached from reality. |
There are like 5 disgruned white dudes like you, PP, for every 1 black person who gets in to a school because of affirmative action. That 1 black person did not take all 5 of "your" spots. Look at the number of black people actually in law school. It's really not that much, even with affirmative action. Blacks are about 12% of the population but I think about 6% of law students. It's more likely a better qualified white person took your darn spot than a black person. This is all to say that, whether or not you agree that affirmative action is a good policy, the backlash against it is really out of proportion to its effects. So might I suggest, PP, that you rethink your white persecution complex, if only for your kids' sake. |
