[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many more generations of racial preference for blacks, at the expense of white kids, do you liberals envision? We've already had two full cycles.

And don't say until racial parity is achieved. That can only happen if blacks adjust specific negative behavior, like the out-of-wedlock birthrate, that makes success more difficult to where it "matches" whites. Some things ARE within the control of black people, after all. [/quote]

My white kids are doing great. If yours aren't, it is your fault. [/quote]
And again, a liberal above personalizes everything. Why are you so selfish as to think that I am concerned by the inequity of AA only because it affects me personally? It does not. My daughter is a graduate of Johns Hopkins and is currently at an IVY, pursuing her grad degree. She is doing great, as well. (And why is it necessary to take a swipe at me as a mother, blaming me for the failure you envision my daughter is? It's not even true! Damn but you liberals can be nasty.)

My sympathy lies with the poor white kids, who have excelled academically despite financial hardships, only to lose out to black kids with worse school records - INCLUDING middle-class black kids  and for no other reason than skin color. It's abhorrent that liberals have such disdain for poor whites. [/quote]

The chances are that, for those very few seats that go to URMs that receive an AA boost (not all do), the poor white kids would have "lost out" anyway to other white kids who scored marginally better. There are many more majority applicants than URMs. That's the whole issue.
