[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best form of reparations would mean making top 25 private instutions only open to blacks and urms (tuition and boarding free) while forcing whites to go to state schools.

It gives blacks a larger pool of 'leadership class' and accelerates more of them into the top 5% while also giving incentives to umc whites to vote to raise taxes to fund public secondary and tertiary education more since now they are more likeyl to go there.[/quote]

Not the way affirmative action is being done today where professional black families are getting the benefit. I say economic affirmative action is what is needed -poverty knows no race - help every kid that needs it[/quote]
Yes, affirmative action is terrible unless whites can benefit. A principled stance.[/quote]

Professional black families? You mean the ones that are working their way up the past few generations of poor racial inequality from the previous generations that came from slavery. How dare they?  Why should they have any benefits?   :roll: Geez. Only whites from enherited riches of past generations should get benefits. Working professionals of color?  They are lucky they have a job, right PP.  Those poor white kids with meth parents deserve it more because they are white and poor.  I mean, do you reread what you type?

Talk about being in a state of cognitive dissonance. [/quote]

DP: are you on meth?[/quote]

No, I am a while woman that is not a racist. I am a white woman who is going to do everything in my lifetime to make any minority try and feel welcomed and equal in my presence and call out people that don’t do the same.  I am a white woman who knows I have privilege in this world JUST because I was born white. Is it my fault I am white? No. Are minorities upset that I am white? No.  Is it my duty to understand that being white comes with privilege that others do not have yet, even in 2019? Yes. Are minorities upset that white people don’t understand their own privilege? Yes.  Are minorities upset that they feel left alone to battle for their rights and never understood by most whites who claim they are not racist? Yes.

It is not enough to just not be racist anymore.  It is 2019 people. We need to do more. Just like people of wealth are supposed to help the poor, but really don’t want to. “I enherited or earned that money!” So They usually pay more wealthy lawyers and accountants to rig it so they don’t pay much taxes.  Most white people dont want to fight for equality and justice, because they already have it and try to rationalize that black people have it now too. They don’t and it can’t just be them fighting for themselves. They need allies. People that are cognitively aware. Are white people nervous when their son is walking on a street or driving a car? Probably not. But every single black mother is. “Professional or not” Could you imagine that fear? I honestly can not. But I try. I try to understand. That is all most black people are asking. I mean like that is it. It isn’t much, but yet most white people can not do it. It is really sad once you “wake up.”

And for you entitled whites here screaming about “affirmative action is not fair” are just ignorant. So ignorant. I am not racist but.... NO, you ARE.  You are somehow turning it around that it is not fair for you.  YOU.  Instead of thinking this is the least we can do and even (gasp) How can I do more?

So sorry, not on meth. Just trying to be a nice educated person who wants to use her privilege as a positive to help others. And if it means going on a rant here instead of watching This Is Us - and going all off topic, so be it.  It just really bothers me that there are people out there that have somehow turned this entitled, white, rich ILLEGAL issue into a minority LEGAL issue. Only in America, sadly. [/quote]

No, I grew up where people were discriminated based on color of their skin and affirmative action was used to right a wrong but instead created an entitled generation and did not help those who really needed it, the poor.  Unless you know what it feels like to be discriminated against and can’t get a helping hand to break out of the poverty cycle because most people of your race were rich (not my family), you don’t know what it is like. We are not numbers - we are individuals. I am all for economic diversity.  The rich Hispanic or black families do not need a helping hand - a kid of ANY race who is poor and need help to break out of poverty and be exposed to another world needs our help.[/quote]

Sigh, You just don’t get it. Ignorance. Rationales. It just fuels hate and jealousy.

Pell grants are for the poor. Many need blind schools are for the poor. No one is denying poor kids who thrive an education. [/quote]

Well, perhaps you should think long and hard about what you may not be getting instead of blaming everything on other people. I see these posts accusing others of not "getting" it and calling them ignorant and whatever. But your own attitude is just as culpable in furling the hate and jealousy you claim exist and it's pretty clear you prefer to approach the world solely through a very narrow prism of how things ought to be rather what they really are.
