I always like to see positive stories young Black people, they can serve as role models. Pastor Brooks is working hard to create more positive stories for kids having to grow up in much harsher environment.This young man scored 1600 on the SAT.

Correct, this has nothing to do with race. This is a cultural issue. If it was racial, then we wouldnt be able to complain. That would be like getting mad at a retard for not being able to do build a rocket.I don't think it has as much to do with the racial group, but the fact that so many black kids go to Failed Inner City Hell Hole schools, where they learn how to keister their shanks so they can protect their lunch money.

Do you even realize how racist the first statement above is? Do you honestly believe that white and Asian people are smarter than Black people?He won't need Affirmative Action, then. He's as smart as any Asian or White Kid.
Too bad, the existence of Affirmative Action will always taint his accomplishments.
What problem specifically do you have with Black people in the US that aren't a result of your own white supremacist proclivities?Because this is a cultural issue that is absolutely solvable, we have every right to complain about the endless problems we have with black people in the US.
White and Asian people have higher average IQ's than American blacks, and far higher IQ's than African blacks. But that is only an average. As this young man proves, individuals are as smart as they are, regardless of race.Do you even realize how racist the first statement above is? Do you honestly believe that white and Asian people are smarter than Black people?
Yes, that's what I said. Due to Affirmative Action, his accomplishments will be questioned.Unfortunately, you as well as many others, including some hiring managers don't understand the concept of affirmative action.
It's outstanding that he obtained a perfect score on his SATs and he deserves to have his accomplishments celebrated. And while there is no doubt about his abilities, as demonstrated by his scores, there still exists individuals who will question whether or not he earned those scores based solely on ability alone simply due to the fact that he's Black.
That is absurd. Affirmative Action specifically requires grantors of opportunities to regard race, and color when selecting from applicants. If they just pick the best applicant, that isn't Affirmative Action.Affirmative action was created to provide EVERYONE the OPPORTUNITY to pursue, obtain, progress and thrive in a career of their choice, "without regard to their race, color, religion, etc."
Yes, Affirmative Action is meant to make up for past discrimination. But new discrimination is a horrible remedy for historic discrimination.not to laboring in positions relegated to them by others, such as how Black people were primarily only able to gain employment in the service industries - maid, bell caps on trains hauling luggage for the white passengers, manual labor, positions in the agricultural industry and so on.
The avalanche of crime and violence.What problem specifically do you have with Black people in the US that aren't a result of your own white supremacist proclivities?
Affirmative Action doesn't harm him, biased racists who don't care that the Civil Rights Laws say that he should be considered "in all aspects of his employment without regard to his race" and take adverse action(s) against him that cause harm.White and Asian people have higher average IQ's than American blacks, and far higher IQ's than African blacks. But that is only an average. As this young man proves, individuals are as smart as they are, regardless of race.
That's why Affirmative Action harms someone like him. It promotes the racist assumption that he cannot be as smart as an Asian or a White and so he needs extra help at hiring time.
It's not a natural assumption, it's an assumption of racists, you even wondering about her competence due to her race while probably not being concerned at all about a doctor treating you who is not Black is bias. Bias based on racism. This is something you've been taught, it's not even something that most of you in all probability have any negative experience with.I once had a young black female doctor see me for a yearly check up and renewal of my blood pressure medication. My regular doctor - an Asian - had a full caseload, and asked her to to help. She noticed a drop in red blood cells, i.e. slight anemia. She correctly diagnosed it as a possible gastric problem, and sent me for an endoscopy during which they found a tumor. That detection saved my life, as the tumor was about to cross over into my aorta.
How unfair that it be assumed she got her job medical school admission and job because of her race and sex. But many people do, so it is a natural assumption.
Only racists will question his accomplishments. How much harm they can do to him depends on their position in society and their authority.Yes, that's what I said. Due to Affirmative Action, his accomplishments will be questioned.
That's not how affirmative action works. If a company is under a consent decree and is required to hire a specific number of minorities, females, etc. that is generally because they were found to have violated the affirmative action laws (Civil Rights Act of 1964) in the present, not in the past because you can't punish someone for doing something that was not unlawful at the time they committed the offense.Yes, Affirmative Action is meant to make up for past discrimination. But new discrimination is a horrible remedy for historic discrimination.
Be specific, when were you victimized by an "avalanche of crime & violence". What crime, what violence? What does the police report say?The avalanche of crime and violence.
Newsvines IQ is higher than yours. Her IQ is higher every one of you idiots running your mouths about whites and Asians being more intelligent than somebody. There is no credible proof of that.White and Asian people have higher average IQ's than American blacks, and far higher IQ's than African blacks. But that is only an average. As this young man proves, individuals are as smart as they are, regardless of race.

What do you think that Affirmative Action is, if not a policy that regards the race of applicants, ostensibly to make up for past discrimination?Affirmative Action doesn't harm him, biased racists who don't care that the Civil Rights Laws say that he should be considered "in all aspects of his employment without regard to his race" and take adverse action(s) against him that cause harm.
Uh . . . you know this is Zone 1, right?It's not a natural assumption, it's an assumption of racists, you even wondering about her competence due to her race while probably not being concerned at all about a doctor treating you who is not Black is bias. Bias based on racism. This is something you've been taught, it's not even something that most of you in all probability have any negative experience with.
Is assuming that he was likely admitted to college through Affirmative Action questioning his accomplishments? Many blacks are indeed admitted to college through Affirmative Action, right? Otherwise, what does it do?Only racists will question his accomplishments. How much harm they can do to him depends on their position in society and their authority.
Consent decrees are not the only form of Affirmative Action. Nearly every employer, and higher education institution practices some form of official or unofficial Affirmative Action.That's not how affirmative action works. If a company is under a consent decree and is required to hire a specific number of minorities, females, etc. that is generally because they were found to have violated the affirmative action laws (Civil Rights Act of 1964) in the present, not in the past because you can't punish someone for doing something that was not unlawful at the time they committed the offense.
I doubt that you know NewsVine_Mariyam's IQ, but if Newsvine wants to tell me that he or she has shown you his or her IQ score, I'll take his or her word for it.Newsvines IQ is higher than yours.
That's not true, IM2. Science shows that whites and Asians have higher IQ than American blacks and much higher than African blacks.Her IQ is higher every one of you idiots running your mouths about whites and Asians being more intelligent than somebody. There is no credible proof of that.
Actually, that is very true.According to what you have written, you need to question the accomplishments of every white person who has ever lived in America, to include yourself. Why do those like you fail to understand that whites have been getting what you call Affirmative Action from the start of this country. George Washington was an Affirmative Action president. Abe Lincoln was an Affirmative Action president. Eisenhower was an Affirmative Action General. Alexander Graham Bell was an Affirmative Action engineer. Henry Ford, Affirmative Action. The Wright Brothers, Affirmative Action. I can keep going.
When did I say I believed in white supremacy?Your belief in white supremacy allows you to ignore the fact that until 1965 by written law, whites got what you call Affirmative Action. And today some whites still make sure whites continue getting Affirmative Action. Ask Flash,
I posted this because racists like you don't show examples of blacks like this.Who cares? Glad for the kid but the only reason why you care is because he's BLACK.
You post says you believe in white supremacy.I doubt that you know NewsVine_Mariyam's IQ, but if Newsvine wants to tell me that he or she has shown you his or her IQ score, I'll take his or her word for it.
I'm positive that you do not know mine.
That's not true, IM2. Science shows that whites and Asians have higher IQ than American blacks and much higher than African blacks.
Abstract: We provide a detailed review of data from psychology, genetics, and neuroscience in a point-counterpoint format to enable readers to identify the merits and demerits of each side of the debate over whether the culture-only (0% genetic-100% environmental) or nature + nurture model (50% genetic-50% environmental) best explains mean ethnic group differences in intelligence test scores: Jewish (mean IQ = 113), East Asian (106), White (100), Hispanic (90), South Asian (87), African American (85), and sub-Saharan African (70). We juxtapose Richard Nisbett’s position, expressed in his book Intelligence and How to Get It, with our own, to examine his thesis that cultural factors alone are sufficient to explain the differences and that the nature + nurture model we have presented over the last 40 years is unnecessary. We review the evidence in 14 topics of contention: (1) data to be explained; (2) malleability of IQ test scores; (3) cultureloaded versus g-loaded tests; (4) stereotype threat, caste, and “X” factors; (5) reaction-time measures; (6) within-race heritability; (7) between-race heritability; (8) sub-Saharan African IQ scores; (9) race differences in brain size; (10) sex differences in brain size; (11) trans-racial adoption studies; (12) racial admixture studies; (13) regression to the mean effects; and (14) human origins research and life-history traits. We conclude that the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that in intelligence, brain size, and other life history traits, East Asians average higher than do Europeans who average higher do South Asians, African Americans, or sub-Saharan Africans. The group differences are between 50 and 80% heritable.
I believe that other factors need to be explored besides heridity, such as nutrition and other environmental factors. But current science (not settled science which is an oxymoron) shows it to be primarily genetic.
Actually, that is very true.
If we look at history up until Obama, it is fair to say that every president was elected in the white male only category. If we look all the way to the present, it is fair to say that the category is now "at least half white." Seriously, I agree. Discrimination is wrong, whether you call it racism or Affirmative Action.
G.W. Carver was a great scientist. Imagine how many other great black scientistsmightwould have been his contemporaries if Democrats had not held them back.
Babe Ruth was the Home Run King, but only in a league that did not admit players of the race who is physically the fastest and strongest. The Negro Leagues might have run rings around his all-white Braves, Yankees or Red Sox. Football? Fuggetaboutit.
When did I say I believed in white supremacy?
I'll delete your long quote from Flash. Flash is not me, and I am not Flash. Flash can speak for Flash.
You have ONE example that you constantly trot out. For every Flash, there are a million hiring managers who apply fair standards in hiring. Most large employers actively recruit black employees and especially management personnel. Any competent black manager can write his own ticket almost anywhere.You post says you believe in white supremacy.
Flashs actions shows that white racial preferences still take place in employment and Lisas existence in admissions shows that they still take place in college. There is no credible scince thats supports IQ based on race. You are an example of a low IQ person. You ignore what has been done for whites, which is what you claim AA is then try arguing how blacks are going to get doubted for getting the "preferences" whites have given themselves. Your entire argument is stupid.
Whites today benefit from the policies of the past. Non whites have been harmed. Color conscious policies that favored whites created the damage. You don't fix damage without fixing the root cause. A policy that allows white the majority of jobs and admissions such as Affirmative action is an attempt to do so. The only opposition to this policy comes from whites who believe they are entitled.
