Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution Condemning Affirmative Action

[hazlnut]

It urges Trump to "speak out against hate groups that espouse racism," and certainly it is racism to demand whites be denied jobs and college placements and scholarships because of skin color.

sep 12 2017 The Senate on Monday night unanimously passed a resolution condemning white nationalists, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and neo-Nazis, calling on the Trump administration—namely Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Department of Homeland Security—to investigate “all acts of violence, intimidation, and domestic terrorism by White supremacists, White nationalists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and associated groups.”

The resolution is seen as backlash from President Trump’s ambiguous response to the violence in Charlottesville last August, in which a 32-year-old woman who was killed by a neo-Nazi who drove into a crowd of demonstrators.

In response, the resolution urges “the President and his administration to speak out against hate groups that espouse racism, extremism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and White supremacy; and use all resources available to the President and the President’s Cabinet to address the growing prevalence of those hate groups in the United States.”

This is a good thing.

Why do you have to lie in your thread title?

It has nothing to do with affirmative action policy or practice.

What about Obama???

His white ancestors were slave owning Confederates.

His black Kenyan ancestors rounded up other Africans and sold them to Jewish owned slave ships.

WHY did Obama get PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT because of "Affirmative Action?"

And past illegal discrimination allows for future "legal" discrimination. An example is that at Harvard nearly half the students are legacy students, children of Harvard graduates. Which means those whose parents were discriminated against in the past, their children are now discriminated against as a result.

What's the fix?

Stoop discrimination. You can't argue that discrimination is wrong therefore we must discriminate to fix it.

It's like the Jim Crow law, that if your grandparents voted, you can vote. Legacy hiring, and legacy education does the same thing. But you certainly can't outlaw legacy business and educational practices. Often that's what drives people to certain institutions and employers.

Harvard is a private institution and can admit who ever they want

They have to follow the law.

Mod Note:

The EVENT is a discussion. Calling it Affirmative Action to discuss something totally different,, is baiting the actual event.. Closed. Try again..
