[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daeshanda is going to be discriminated against by white people all her life because of her name. Some of them will see her name, go straight to their stereotype and trash her resume without giving her education or qualifications any consideration. Nobody is ever going to do that to Billy.

How do you know? I see all sorts of preferences going to black candidates in jobs, as well, and promotions too. I even worked in an organization where the HR director screened applications FOR black-sounding names. She even called the government to see if it was legal to REQUIRE applicants to divulge their race (so she could more easily identify the black candidates to interview). In another place I worked, I competed directly with another candidate for a promotion - one with less seniority and a substantially "lesser" education - and she told me, point-blank, that she would be selected because of her race. (She was.) In still another case, my friend with a graduate degree was passed over for a black woman with a high school diploma. (She worked for a fed government agency in Baltimore, with a very high population of black workers.) Another friend, supporting four children on her own, was passed over for a promotion for a black woman who had just been hired 6 months before. There are countless organizations that favor blacks and minorities to show how "woke" they are.

But that's not what we're discussing here. We are discussing why liberals are so willing to keep deserving poor white kids out of good universities (eh..."let them go to community college") so that less accomplished black kids can go. WHY do liberals defend black kids (even when they're from middle-class and upper-middle class families) as deserving special advantages while they are so willing to reveal disdain toward the poor whites whose chance out of the slums is a college degree (and who worked day and night to get good grades to go)?

This anti-white bias from liberals will cost you the election.[/quote]
