[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not one of those insecure Negroes that harbors hatred or resentment for white folks for their privilege or my plight.  I'm not the type to cling to negative sentiments or allow such thoughts to permeate my peace of mind.  I know that blacks have been thru hell and I know that many blacks are still mired in hellish conditions to this day - sadly sometimes their problems and predicaments are self-imposed.

But I also know that blacks are still here still advancing and achieving and aspiring and attaining.  I know that all efforts to keep blacks down permanently have failed and I know that all obstacles and barriers to hold blacks back ultimately were and will be overcome.

So having said all that, basically the point I'm trying to make is that no matter what negative caricature of the Negro it is that some may have etched in their brains that they base opinions and generalizations of all black people on - whether it be the ghetto thug or the single parent or whatever - that's not going to deter black people nor will it ultimately define black people.

I may be in the minority on this but despite all the prejudiced presumptions people make I see millions of blacks who are respected educators and remarkable innovators and capable leaders and constant achievers.  If some can't see this vast segment of society or aren't inclined to give any credibility to the existence of educated or successful black people then that's their choice - but Affirmative Action or not I guarantee you that segment of educated and successful black people will persevere and prevail and proliferate.  That's what blacks have always done.[/quote]

Well, I'm in the minority with you.

I actually think people who consider themselves educated but still hang on to the idea that some aren't deserving of an education are in their own minority, or will be soon. [/quote]
Who here has said some aren't deserving of an education? If anything, those arguing for income-based AA policies, such as myself, want to see admissions decisions applied more fairly. Certainly, a poor white student with a 1200 SAT and a 3.4 GPA should not be rejected from a college in favor of a wealthy black student with lower grades and scores. The white kid succeeded despite his financial hardship, while the black kid did worse despite his financial advantage.

That's not to say the black kid won't get an education. He just won't get it at the school the higher-scoring poor white kid will. Why should the black kid get into the better school when the white kid is more qualified?[/quote]
