Huh? BLack kids with mediocre grades who get into college over better-scoring poor whites are indeed taking something away from those poor whotes: a chance to go to college and move out of a lower-class existence doe the rest of his life.

You need to at least admit that when black kids with a C average get into college over a white kid with a B average, they are indeed taking something away. You are not ENTITLED to affirmative action for generating after generation. The least you could do is say "thank you" to the white kids being displaced. [/quote]

It isn't a zero sum game. Every time a college was forced to stop discriminating against women, blacks, and other minority students, they increased the total enrollment so that they did not have to cut back on white male slots, and especially legacy slots. White kids are getting into the same schools they would have gotten into in the past.  [/quote]
That is 100% not true. You are in complete denial, but it is a fact that poorer-scoring blacks are getting into schools that are rejecting better-scoring whites. Without AA, the whites would have gotten in but their lost they place to blacks.

Again, what proof do you have of this?[/quote]
