America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
Lets Finally call it like it really is.

Affirmative Action A.K.A. give minorities a much better chance at getting the job; getting into the school; getting the much needed scholarship; getting the loan; getting the raise; getting the elevation in job status and on and on all because they are what? Black, Latino or some other than white minority EXCEPT A JEW OF COURSE, SOMEHOW JEWS DO NOT COUNT AS A MINORITY when it comes to affirmative action! But I digress.

This of course is racism pure and simple, much like the racism of the first half of the twentieth century, where Whites had the same advantage with no law to back it up called "affirmative action"

When the civil rights movement took hold and white guilt came to be the liberal left decided that to make amends to people that were long dead {the slaves of the 1800's} and the Whole Democratic parties stand in the way of any progress of freeing the slaves and the whole civil rights movements itself {yes the Democrats hated the civil rights movement and tried to block it for decades} Up came a way to turn things around, REVERSE RACISM TO ASSUAGE WHITE GUILT.

No matter how you cut it, Affirmative Action is discrimination and racist in any form. Anytime you give someone the edge in any manner or any form JUST BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, it is racist! get it yet?

Anytime you have a quota to fill with a certain amount of Blacks or Latinos mandated by federal law even if they are not qualified to fill the position or a white candidate is better suited for the job but federal law says you must have another black or Chinese or Latino this is racist!!

If you think this article is RACIST, YOU ARE A CLOSET RACIST! and should check in with yourself.

If you are offended by this article you are blind or stupid and cannot see the truth when it is laid out for you in the simplest of terms.

Good say. Any preference in race is a step backwards.

I agree.  In a color blind society, we wouldn't have to check a box for our race on the application.

I have always checked the "other" box Amy being the contrary fracker that I am.

Hey! where are all of you pro Affirmative action people? cat got your tongue? or just afraid of being outed as a proponent of racism?

I agree that preferential treatment of any kind that is based upon race is by definition racism. The government should not be in the racism business for any reason regardless of how well intentioned it may be.

I think what is getting me right now is all the loud mouth Liberals that are huge lovers of Affirmative Action are remaining silent right now. I guess that maybe, just maybe they can finally see what racists they have all been party to by being proponents of this Federally mandated racism.

well intentioned


Unfortunately, for many, that is all that counts. Not ends, but intentions.

Doesn't work with the IRS though. Telling them you intended to pay your taxes just doesn't seem to satisfy them.

Get your facts straight, old man:  Jews, or the Hasidim at any rate, ARE eligible for affirmative action, and have been since the Reagan Administration.  Proof:

REAGAN GRANTS HASIDIM 'DISADVANTAGED' STATUS

By RICHARD SEVERO (NYT); Metropolitan Desk

June 29, 1984, Friday

Late City Final Edition, Section B, Page 5, Column 5, 475 words

They were talking about it in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn yesterday. Bearded men in dark coats under a hot sun, men known for their deep spiritual values, their belief in education and hard work, their pride in self-reliance.

They were all Hasidic Jews, and they were talking about President Reagan's decision, announced Wednesday, to add them to a list of minority groups considered ''disadvantaged'' by the Government.

The list already includes Hispanic people, blacks, Indians and other groups that are considered by the Government to have encountered severe economic problems because of discrimination.

The designation means the Hasidim are able to apply for Federal assistance in running businesses. They will also be eligible for programs that set aside work for minority-group businesses.

Affirmative Action was not just for black folks Elie, it was for any minority, women included. When it began, there was a reason for it, now there isn't, to the pleasure of some who really abuse it!

We can't give up affirmative action, because those minority groups are too dumb to get a scholarship, job, or college admission on their own. We have to help them do it.

What? We're doing it because white people weren't allowing minorities into college, scholarship programs, and jobs?

Oh... well, we're obviously still doing that.

I mean, have you ever seen a black man run for President?

Oh yeah. Well, none ever got a nomination, though?

...

Wow. We're such a backwards country that we need laws to help propel minorities forward in this super white world.

By the way, Obama will not win the election - how can black people say they're getting knocked around when you have a black president? So they'll never vote for him!

Anyway, the only people who are keeping race alive now are a few real white racists and minorities who can benefit from it.
