LOL, Okay, so I pose the question of how this young woman could know why..

You even agreed that even you DON'T know if she was rejected due to affirmative action or not. The case has still not been resolved.

You still havent pointed out where I apparently, challenged your assertion that asians do not need AA programs to get ahead. You made that statement and it went unchallenged by me. You were the one who called me out asking me to refer to post #102 to answer your ridiculous question. Did you not?

Nevermind. Don't answer that. Thats exactly what you did.

Unlike you, I can't read her mind or anyone else, therefore, I will wait for the court decision. I posted the story with link, I never said anything about she was right or wrong.

All I can tell you is this:
Next time, if you don't want to answer/debate honestly, don't bother to quote my post and I won't reply.

You kept wiggle out my very simple questions (still no YES or NO from you). That's your choice. No biggie. I won't bother to bring those questions up.

For the record, I strongly believe everyone (regardless of race/creed/color/etc.) should be graded on his/her own merit and hard work. No more set aside/AA programs. Period.

You know what, I commented on your post about the young woman from Texas. You commented back and agreed that we don't really know why she was rejected. Then, you come at me with some loaded question about why other minorities can't do better than asians. Once again, I already stated that I think people should be admitted to colleges based on their work and how well they match up to the admissions requirements. You hear what you want to hear, that is not my problem.

Excuse me, but why do you think I should be charged with the task of answering that question anyway? Because I'm a minority? You didn't even offer your own answer to the question (linking to a thread is not answering a question, btw).

I am an individual first and a minority last. I can only answer for my own circumstances, my own achievements, and I don't need to prove myself to anybody but those that matter.

Thank you, and goodnight.

It's not racist to not want to work for someone else's benefit. It's racist to think that only black people draw welfare.

... and yet whenever a conservative mentions welfare, they're immediately labeled a racist because they're *obviously* talking about blacks. Why is that?

I'd be happy if all it took was a phone but the phone is the most recent in a long list. We've gone way beyond food, clothing and shelter.

After a while, you start to wonder why you have the role of provider and not the role of recipient. Those right at the tipping point start becoming recipients. We're real close to the balance point. How long will we make it with a majority taking handouts?

But your a liberal and obama supporter which means that your actually lying and believe in affirmative action because those evil white people kept you back

As I said, unlike you (as you did at the party), I rather wait for the evidence to come out before I make up my mind.

You still have NOT answer YES or NO about my question of remove ALL set aside/AA programs. Why dance around the issue? Why not say Yes or No for the record? I asked you the questions because they are all related, not once I mentioned because you were a minority, expressed or implied.

The linked thread has a link with information = perfect answer/back up my statement(s).

Here is another link (liberal) to back up my statements = http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/front...-nation/who-isnt-graduating-from-high-school/
So who is most likely not walking with their classmates this month? A black, Hispanic or American Indian teenager, whose graduation rates hover around 65 percent, according to a recent study [PDF] from the Everyone Graduates Center at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. This is compared to 82 percent of whites and about 92 percent of Asian/Pacific Islanders.

That seems like a very good reason NOT to raise taxes on poor people like some Republicans suggest. Our goal should be to make sure those "at the tipping point" see more future in trying to move UP the ladder than trying to move down it. The main problem isn't that welfare is so awesome, it's when people don't feel they have a possible alternative.

Hehehehe, another poor poor poor self hating white who, at the mere mention that not even he, but members of his own race might be guilty of some discrimination against black people in the historical past, tiny and undocumented as I am sure he imagines it to be, never the less falls to the ground in apoplectic rage and denial that any remedial action for something he isn't directly responsible for and might cost him a nickel could possibly be fair or warranted. Poor poor Incoruptable, so small, so weak, such a flimsy ego, such a defective self respect, he's all mad. Somebody give him a pill and a pillow to rest his bruised and battered head. He's had a terrible rough life. Some black guy with generations of slavery and psychological abuse in his past, with equal abilities, might just get a leg up over him. How dare the evil black man us whites have always kicked in the ass to flatter white superiority, stands today with a minor perk. It's vicious racism.

Learn to deal with it asshole. Learn to do what blacks and women have had to do for generations and generations, be twice as good as white men to get ahead. Learn to stand up on your own, you wimp, without your white privilege. What goes around comes around. You're the new boy in town. Your racist rage makes you psychologically inferior.

Thread about phones is now a thread about raising taxes?

You want people to move up? Take the steps proven to provide jobs not increase government dependency.

Conservatives build their egos on the belief they are independent productive deserving members of society and that concomitant with that, those who are dependent on others are worthless and undeserving. They believe that poverty is a punishment the lazy deserve for being lazy. This is how they feed their sick egos, dependent on the fact that others in worse conditions then they prove they are better. But you didn't build that. There but for the grace of God go I. So I thank God I'm not a conservative. It's only by chance I escaped that disgusting mental state. Only by chance did I escape being a pig like they are.

There are many minorities who ONLY got into school because of affirmative action, this is just wrong

There are many minorities that get a substandard education because of failed programs like no child left behind and diversions of funding (vouchers). When the admissions tests are geared towards a privileged experience, some considerations should be made. Making the bar to get into school only the privileged test, this is just wrong.

How about making it fair for everyone?

Giving them affirmative action is wrong and

Somebody believes in white privilege, which by nature, is a racist belief.

Minorities get a poor education because black culture shuns education as "acting white".

Thats not entirely true, there are black people who want a good education. Great Conservative men like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams

That has shit to do with the quality of education being doled out in poorer areas. Whites are victims of crappy education systems to.

Is has nothing to do with "acting white". You don't know what you're talking about, as usual.

Also, what the hell do you know about black culture anyway? It is not a cultural thing with blacks to shun education, its a mental thing with uneducated and poor blacks on an individual basis.
