[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also....you DCUM libs are just unbelievable. You seem to think that unless you have an IVY degree, your life will be a shambles.

I went to a non-Ivy, but still decent university, and then on to grad school (on my employer's dime). I had a successful and rewarding career, earning good but not astronomical money. MUST someone earn more than $150,000 to be considered a success in liberals' eyes? Wouldn't you say that a black high school kid with a B average, who then goes on to earn a (marketable) degree from the state university, and ultimately ends up earning around $120,000 is a success in life? Especially if they are good to family and friends, kind to animals, give back to their community, donate to charity, respect other people's property, and never hurt anyone?

You all are a bunch of liberal snobs.[/quote]

The AA haters are the ones who think Billy is entitled to an Ivy League education. That he DESERVES it.

No. The ones who hate race-based AA realize that Billy, with his straight As, deserves to go to a more competitive college than Dashanda, with her Bs - especially if Billy came from a poor background and Dashanda came from a middle-class background.

Conversely, the AA supporters are the ones who think Dashanda is ENTITLED to push Billy, with his superior grades, over to community college so that she can get accepted due to her skin color, B average and all.[/quote]

The vast majority of spots at competitive colleges will go to white kids. They will continue on their easy path of upward mobility. Why are you so focused on the handful of spots that go to URMs? What about other spots at those colleges that go to other kids with lesser grades? Don't hear you complaining once about them.
