[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Agreed.

The same folks who used to be anti-black now try to be so cool while being anti-white.[/quote]

LIAR. The anti-black people are now GOP.

What? It's progressives who think native-born black Americans are unable to compete or otherwise be held to the same standards as everyone else.[/quote]

On average, URMs have fewer opportunities and resources to prepare for college, etc. They also face additional hurdles from systematic racism.

The GOP is anti-black and is actively looking for ways to hurt minorities. AA, housing policies, etc.

I could see if black students were passing their boards or the bar, but they are, which means that once they get in, they have the intelligence to compete.[/quote]
R u talking about medical boards and law bar exams? Put the stats up on who is passing those exams- what aA composite s.
 Also pull the stats on who is actually passing and graduating from math and engineering majors.  Then publish the job acceptance and income stats from college grads. What’s the ROI on AA? [/quote]
