[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, threads like this are the reason that AA’s are so fed up by the doublespeak inconsistent rhetoric of Conservative Whites.  Time and time again, Con Whites are lecturing AA’s about fixing the problems in their own community, addressing crime, unwed parents, blah blah.  Studies have shown that the key to upward mobility is education. And there is the notion that like in day’s past, the next generation of AA leaders will come from college campuses  So now that AA’s are seeking in droves to better themselves and their communities through education, Con Whites are throwing the whole Affirmative Action in our faces like it is some badge of shame.  “It should be blind admission (never mind that the standardized testing scheme is biased).”  “We should not take an individual’s circumstances into account when making an admission decision” (unless it benefits my child).  I mentor a number of lower SES AA’s and Latino kids and I tell them to take advantage of EVERY opportunity afforded to them even if some are against them getting that opportunity.  I tell them that any supposed stigma about how they got where they are is not their problem.  [/quote]
