Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution Condemning Affirmative Action

[Soggy in NOLA]

I was accused once of not giving a job to someone because they were black. In fact, it was because she spelled "calculator", "calacater".

All American families have benefitted from affirmative action

It leveled the playing field

How so? ALL families?

Yes...ALL

Unsubstantiated garbage and nonsense based on your feelings with nothing but a whim.

Put up or shut up.

Thing have only gotten worse since these divisive policies have been instituted.

What a ridiculous statement

Career opportunities for women, blacks, minorities, the handicapped have all been increased because of affirmative action

Perhaps, but now less of them graduate with degrees b/c of the institutions are accepting unqualified candidates that eventually drop out.

And for those that do accept jobs, you have the same market forces acting. . . a lot of them aren't necessarily successful at their careers. When the criteria for a job is not qualifications, but color or sex, failure is a greater possibility, and the blame, resentment, and litigation are more of a possibility. This only causes litigation and harm to the economy and social fabric.

Again, you just don't get how true equality and peace need to resolve and operate. You can't force people to be ethical by being unethical, just like you can't force your kids to be non-violent by beating them.

Yet, millions of women, blacks, minorities are now in the workforce in positions they had traditionally been blocked from obtaining. They lacked certain "Necessities" required to fill management and professional positions.....Necessities that seemed to only be available in white males

Repeating it over and over doesn't make it so.... again, how so?

You are patently racist and sexist to believe that none of them could have earned their positions in society w/o affirmative action.

My grandmother graduated from High School at age 14. She graduated from Normal School at 16. (That was country college.) Then she went back to teach at the very high school she got her diploma at.

It was a bit of a scandal when one of the parents found out that one of the boys she was teaching was older than she was, (one room school houses, eh?). . . but the school liked her so much, they just kept it hushed up for that two years and kept her on.

Before WWII? There was no such thing as Affirmative Action you bigot.

It's called "the soft bigotry of low expectations".

The Democratic Party's lifelong obsession with fascist state sponsored DNA discrimination needs to end.

SLAVERY
SEGREGATION
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The American people need to rise up and stop the Dem obsession with state sponsored DNA discrimination.

No it didn't. Had nothing to do with merit. Now the gap is even huger because of affirmative action.

We already had a level playing field. Blacks just can't make it on ability. There is no GIANT WHITE CONSPIRACY TO HOLD DOWN BLACKS.

But there definitely is a Zionist Conspiracy to spread lies, loot and sell out America

Why is it when people talk about hate groups, they never mention the ones on the "left?"

Because there are no hate groups on the left. You are mistaking leftist reactionaries for haters when in reality they are defense systems against RW hate.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

So, are we saying giving a job to a poorly qualified candidate over a well qualified candidate benefits society?

Thats what he's saying and thats why he has no credibility because such a statement is ludicrous and absurd.

 

[LaDexter]

there are no hate groups on the left

s/b There are nothing but hate groups that support the Left....

"I'm fine with affirmative action. We've lived with it for a long time. And I lived with it for a long time. And I've had great relationships with lots of people. So I'm fine with it." - Donald J. Trump

Donald Trump on ‘Meet the Press’

I remember when Trump said that 2 years ago. Shocked me. I suspect he said it because the white-hating media insists we all say lies like that.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Why is it when people talk about hate groups, they never mention the ones on the "left?"

Because there are no hate groups on the left. You are misraking lleftist reactionaries for haters when in reality they are defense systems against RW hare.

Right. Where were those defense mechanisms when the left was busy starting ww1, ww2, civil war, slavery, vietnam, dropping nuclear bombs?

 

[JQPublic1]

there are no hate groups on the left

s/b There are nothing but hate groups that support the Left....

Now.you just think that because you are full of kool-aid.

[LaDexter]

When Black Lives Matter shoots a cop in the back, that is not "hate" according to the Left.

When a Left wing activist shoots up the Congressional Republican baseball team, that is not "hate" according to the Left.
