Affirmative Action should be abolished

"Positive" discrimination is not positive

Candidates should be speaking about this more!

Affirmative action is illegal. It violates the protections of the 14th Amendment. And worst of all it has been a disaster for the very people it has claimed to help. Blacks are worse off today than they were 30 years ago.

Affirmative Action has been a major success for our country. All families have benefitted

Care to provide facts on your assertion? All blacks? Some blacks? Age based? Geography based? Proof of a correlation with Affirmative action? What about the impact on other races?

Lumping an entire race into a single claim like that is absurd, but no doubt something you heard from some dishonest Right Wing propaganda source.

Is it any more absurd to lump the entire population of white males into a category that allows them to be racially disadvantaged due to some pre-conceived notion of fault?

Examine the wage gap between blacks and whites, the income gap, the household wealth gap, the educational achivement gap and they are all worse today than 30 years ago.

There's my proof right there. Whatever Nutwinger says, the opposite the case.

Anytime you hold your maximum achievers back in order to promote your lesser achievers, you hurt yourself. Any football coach knows this. If Johnny is head of the class but you hold him back to accommodate Jim who is slow learner, you stymie Johnny's production.

Affirmative Action is an excuse.

I agree. Affirmative Action should have been null and void as soon as that Chimp Obama was sworn in as President. What else do these clowns want to accomplish by using the race card?
President Trump will end this Affirmative Action bullshit.

Until racists are a very small percentage of the population, Affirmative Action is necessary. If black students do less well than other students in law school, it makes sense to look at their secondary schools.

no he wont. He cant. Congress has to do it, if they were in the mindset to do so, it would have already been done or at least suggested.

maybe you should look at pookies parents. If you have all other races coming out of a school and doing will for the most part, but the blacks from that same school are all doing poorly for the most part, then its not the school. It falls on personal responsibility.

Racists are a miniscule percentage of the white population. And a big percentage of the black population.
Black student do less well in every school. They enter kindergarten less prepared than white counterparts. There are ways of dealing with this and boosting black performance but until the narrative of a "racist society" is overturned there is little hope.

What about the black racists, asshole? Can we have WHITE Affirmative Action until they're all weeded out?
Go suck on something.

That's warped, Rabbi. Take a read through "Wonder Why Black Culture is Failing" if you think racists are a miniscule percentage of the population. And it is perfectly okay for you to go ahead and deal with the impoverished environment in poor neighborhoods without taking the pressure off racists to behave themselves.

That's not true . Blacks are better off than ever .

Righties just make shit up all the time.

Seems I hit a nerve. Racists are haters who breed more hate. Why should blacks love whites who, in general, have treated them like shit and continue to treat them like shit? If they loved us, I'd be worried. Folks like you caused Affirmative Action in the first place, and the longer you kick and scream about it, the longer fairness will be shoved down your throat.

The problem with affirmative action is it discriminates against people who are better qualified in order to fulfill "quotas"
