What about policies that favor black students over white students for selection into certain colleges etc? Is that meritocracy?
There are no policies that favour blacks over whites in any college. You have the University of Michigan (And many uni's in America) giving out 16 points to kids from certain lily-white Upper Peninsulas ?
And 4 points for children of overwhelmingly white alumni ?
And 10 points for students who went to the state’s “top” schools ?
And 8 points for those who took a full slate of Advanced Placement classes in high schools (which classes are far less available in schools serving students blk students)
You have scandals were affluent white and non black individuals, including television actors, corporate executives and bankers bribed and frauded their way to get admission for their children into America's most prestigious universities ?
.
They are letting dumb-ass white students in there all day because of their fathers or uncles. Most blacks applying could run circles around them academically but they would never ever be admitted.
College admissions is nothing but game.
They can and do say anything to black students "your application was late" “it got lost” "We don’t like your essay"............. ANYTHING.
.We are taking no one's spots trust me.
You have a legacy and being a legacy only works if you have a trust fund and your parents have been donating a good % of their annual salary to the school or your dad holds political office or your parents are fortune 500 CEOs, COOs, CFOs or CAOs.
Anyone else, it's still a crap shot.
It might get your resume an extra 5 second glance but if they see average jobs and medium income zip-code on your application, you can forget about it.
Blaming the handful of black people that get in is ridiculous. More Black Americans are becoming doctors (despite the obstacles set for black people) and non-blacks hate to see a black person who is superior to them in anything and become bitter and jealous.

It's hard to believe the extremes you take this thinking to.
That's because you are not used to talkng to people like me. You're talking points sound good around white people. They sound good when your around family and friends. They sound good when no one is there to give a counter argument.

You're wrong Paul. The NFL is not an industry where people are being selected because of their skin color. They're being selected because they're talented people that know how to win games and make money for their teams.
Well that's were we disagree.
