How do you feel about affirmative action?

its stupid and racist in its own right. Jobs where you co-workers, cops, firemen etc. should not have to worry about the guy watching their back scoring lower on the test to get in just because they have to fill a quota.

[Mitchell88]

lmao, I was just picturing that scene as I wrote

The majority of whites are racists. History says it all.

Affirmative action is a great tool to keep their racism at bay and promote equality. If they don't like that then fukk em

now it our fault that we are smarter

Smarter in what ways? Committing genocide of non whites and destroying this planet?

[homie1975]

Necessary to offset good old boys network which exists all over America in all industries

Sorry to say, you're right. If left up to employers, schools or whatever else affirmative action creates, there wouldn't be
minorities co mingling or getting ahead. The govt has to step in and level the playing field.

Having said that, I don't agree with dumbing down tests or having quotas to fill.

[Cuse0323]

Think it goes both ways depending on the situation. Like most things.

Nice theory

Problem with it is one of the most hated groups, East Asians, have flourished in the USA and employers fall over each other trying to hire them

You're under the false assumption that East Asians are the most "hated" group in America.

No I'm not. Not now because they haven't blamed everyone else for their problems throughout history and have assimilated and prospered. They were abhorred after WWII though

[Swaggy P]

Are you sure it's always the blacks that never wanted to assimilate? Have you heard of something called Jim Crow?

Do you seriously ever think about the shit you say logically?

Nearly every time you make a point you say something that is the exact opposite of what you're trying to argue or you say something that would be used against your argument, nearly every penetrating time.

Affirmative action has been around 50 years now, minorities have really done a great job getting ahead in that time.

Hey but at least you were half-right, it does create "co-mingling" lol

[PaperTrail07]

all this racism shit will be a thing of the past in the long run.....cant stop the melting pot...However very crazy to think MLK would still be alive today if not killed....How many honest Americans sat and watched without acting....that's the true shame IMO....

I take the change of subject as conceding you were wrong about Asians not being most hated at one time?

[Kermit]

I think if a white basketball player dunks a ball that it should be worth more than 2 points.

[Swaggy P]

That's completely irrelevant. Where's the evidence that East Asians are the more hated group in America? That's more of a personal opinion than anything else.

Blacks on the other hand have been the most hated and discriminated against and is well documented in American history. That's why you have no reply to what I just said.

I would consider Natives to be on the same level as the black man when it comes to hate from the white bigot.

Get a clue

During WWII they were locked up in concentration camps and portrayed horribly in the media. Now less than a century later some people still dislike them but they have survived and thrived

They are not the most hated now because they have proven themselves, that's the whole point.

Before that the Irish were despised, now there are only some amusing stereotypes

One thing that happened in ww2 and they are considered in your own words to be the most hated group in America and I'm the one supposed to "get a clue"

Clown.

I'm still waiting on your response to my post on Jim Crow.

Really?

I must have missed the sport teams named the Baltimore Africans or San Diego Blackskins, and their mascot Spearchucker Chukquemeka.

[Kermit]

It is amazing how well Asians have done for themselves in this country and we were at war with them numerous times. You would think that if anyone would really have a tough time making it in this country it would be anyone who is Asian.

You want to compare the injustices of slavery and Jim Crown to the name of a fukking sports team?

No more arguing with dumb rednecks. I'm done.

Personally, I think of a sports team name as more of a tribute to the people.

I agree, but swaggypee refuses to acknowledge it. He thinks it's worse to have to drink from a different fountain or learn in a different school.

Can you imagine if whites today were forced to be segregated and had to have their own schools, own neighborhoods, own sports leagues, and could only spend say half as much as blacks? We would have a party!

good example.

Affirmative action is racism and anyone who doesn't think so is in denial

[Swaggy P]

It's more than just about "drinking from a different fountain" you stupid oyster. kill yourself you racist white trash.

im done with this convo

Were different water fountains and different schools not part of Jim Crow laws? Or you are mad that I didn't list every one of them?

How about stop the denial and have a reasonable discussion...I am trying to. You could start by conceding that the hate and racism Asians used to face in this country was no less than what blacks have faced, but they overcame it and it has largely disappeared or at least has little affect on them now because they don't let it.

[King Mayan]

Most Asians and Indians that come here, come from well off families.... So you're comparing apples to oranges... The Asians/Indians that are broke are wannabe thugs and dumbfukks... But the news won't tell you that.. Living outside the bubble would..
