[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our liberal agenda is to increase political power, beginning with the midterm. Then push for the liberal agenda including affirmative action. [b]Once we have students in place in highly selective colleges and units, things will naturally fall into place. This will naturally allow the POC to move up in various institutions, including in corporations and in government.  Affirmative action is only the first step[/b].  [/quote]

You are assuming those AA-benefited people also have the smarts to "move up".  The most upwardly mobile minority in most institutions today (private and publc) are Indians, none of whom benefited from affirmative action and most either came from India or first-generation.  While most of them are supportive of minority empowerment in general they are not big fans of AA when it personally affects them (e.g. college admissions for their kids).

Even if you disagree with my above statement, reality is AA has been around for a long time and enough Blacks and Hispanics have benefited from it.  They are in good positions within many institutions to be able to make the changes you talk about.  They just don't have the skills,desire or both to actually do it.[/quote]
