[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see adding an economic aspect to it but we aren’t even close when it comes to racial equality. The lingering effects of systematic racism will take a long time to diminish. [/quote]
So you're saying that we should continue to favor blacks over poor, disadvantaged whites until blacks mas a whole achieve "racial equality?"

And how is that measured? When blacks have the same net worth as whites? That will be impossible as long as blacks continue to have a 75% out-of-wedlock birth rate. You can't ignore personal behavior that leads to poverty, and say "let's keep giving mediocre blacks from middle class families preferential treatment over high-achieving poor whites until the average net worth of blacks is the same as whites."

Ahhh, it was going to come out eventually.  Was just wondering how long.  If those aren’t stereotypes I don’t know what is.  I work for a membership organization of the most senior black executives in corporate America.  We now have the studies that show in order for black people to succeed, they must significantly exceed metrics used to rate black and white candidates.  They outpace their white counterparts consistently.  Lots of data out there.  You wouldn’t know because you are clearly perpetuating historical racist tropes.[/quote]

Ahh but you racially denigrate Condoleeza Rice, Herman Cain, Thomas Sewell, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, etc because they don’t think as you demand they do. Are they too uppity for you? Hypocrite![/quote]
