[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First Affirmative Action speech was giving at Howard University...Not Harvard, not Galludet, but Howard. That's for a reason because it was meant for American Blacks descendants of slaves & Jim Crow and to make up for those things. The 300 + years of racist/bias policies directed toward American Blacks meant we lack any type of GENERATIONAL WEALTH, especially compared to the larger White Society. If you listen to the speech and legislation the words DIVERSITY WERE NEVER MENTIONED. As Affirmative Action had ZERO TO DO WITH DIVERSITY it was meant to help American Blacks move up the ladder when it came to opportunities and Generational Wealth. It also was NOT RACE BASED as American Blacks aren't a "RACE" but a cultural/ethnic group inside the United States. A cultural/ethnic group with a unique history in a country they help built. As American Blacks were here before it was a United States or a 13 colonies.

Now what has happened is Affirmative Action has been distorted as [b]White Woman have been the primary beneficiaries since 1970[/b] the second beneficiaries are White Males whom both groups receive something called "Geographical Affirmative Action" because not only do these schools want RACIAL diversity but also Geographical Diversity. So if you are are white and live in WV, Texas, MS, Alabama etc you get "extra points' simply based on where your parents decided to set roots.....are we gonna end that program as well? Also they give White Americans Affirmative Action when applying to HBCU's...always have. Now it applies to anyone and everyone including Hispanics which is absurd.

True Affirmative Action was not created for DIVERSITY or for Whites, Asians, Hispanics, LGBT etc it was to make up for Slavery & Jim Crow which none of the groups experienced at the hands of the US Govt. As for as Asians, they need to stop the phony victimhood card. Asians are more than triple their population at ELITE SCHOOLS how can you claim bias when you are OVER REPRESENTED? Not only that but these Affirmative Action policy was instituted YEARS before a lot of these Asian student parents arrived here. How can you complain about a Policy that was created before you voluntarily decided to immigrate here? Asians are not VICTIMS of Bias. US has a unique history that its trying to make up for if those groups don't like it or understand it there are THOUSANDS of other countries and millions of other university outside the US they can decide to attend to[/quote]

White woman have test score and grades that are generally higher than white men.  They did not receive affirmative action, they simply got what they had earned by merit.

Asians are over represented as a percentage of their share of the population but not by their share of top students.

It's time to end affirmative action, along with the boosts that legacy and sports give.  Make it about academic performance.[/quote]
I say academic performance combined with family financial situation. Take race out of it.

Some of you are saying that if we were to switch to an income/net worth system, it would hurt blacks - and is therefore racist to want this switch. But think about it. It's well known that blacks are poorer, as a whole, and they therefore would still benefit from the new parameters. The only black kids would would lose their advantage would be the UMC blacks - and that's as it should be. Why is the black daughter of a lawyer and a doctor getting any preferential treatment at all? She's already benefited by virtue of her high SES.

While I understand your point, even Black poverty and White poverty is DIFFERENT. For example Obama was raised by his "white mom" who was on "food stamps". Yet people don't realize that his Grandmother left him 500+k inheritance when he DIED. So you would assume that him being raised by a white single  mom is just like a black person being raised by a single Black mom but its NOT TRUE...no black kid being raised by a single mom is getting a 500k inheritance from Grand Ma when she dies. this is the generational wealth White Americans pretend they don't have. So even "poor" whites aren't even that poor especially when compared to Blacks. Also why a single white mom has more net worth then a married Black Couple. Again Affirmative Action was created to help the "POOR" it was created to help correct the legacy of Slaver & Jim Crow[/quote]
