Slavery was not a govt act?
In the US?
Are you frigging kidding me?
What do you think the Civil War was about?
Good grief!!!
It's not an attempt at societal unjust discrimination and privilege. It's a system of improving universities.
Not all discrimination is unjust, not all discrimination is bigotry. And not all bigotry is racism. I understand, these are concepts beyond the average Joe, but these are the facts.
:lamoHey, I'm back.
Wrong.Bundy unwittingly disparaged black persons in his statement.
Probably.:lamo
Were you lost or something?
standardWrong.
Words of concern that are not of disparagement, hatred or intolerance, are words of concern that are not of disparagement, hatred or intolerance.
You have to take them out of context to suggest they are of disparagement. Unintentional or otherwise.
It is dishonest to say otherwise.
And secondly, a persons oversensitivity does not make the words unintentionally racist either.
That is nothing more then their own delusions, of which he is not responsible for.
To my mind, racism requires a believe of one race being superior or inferior to others. Affirmative action programs make the assumption that certain races have not had the same optunities. That means to my mind that they are racial, not racist.
If you and others who believe that affirmative action measures should solely have a punishment aspect to them (and therefore those actions rarely succeed), I say screw it. I you want to, for example, eliminate all offensive words from American vocabulary (which isn't your goal, it's punishment), I'd say you'd agree negro in all its forms should be completely eliminated from American utterance... by everyone. Or any other offensive word (like cracker or racist).Ah, okay, so it was a phrase. The word Negro isn't racist.
Thanks for clearing that up!
"During the course of Defendant BILL O'REILLY'S sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated. Plaintiff was repulsed"
"[D]uring the course of their dinner in early May 2002, Defendant BILL O'REILLY's demeanor abruptly changed. O'REILLY's eyes became glazed and bizarrely strayed in opposite directions. Suddenly, without provocation or warning, Defendant BILL O'REILLY said to Plaintiff ANDREA MACKRIS: "And just use your vibrator to blow off steam." When Plaintiff reddened, Defendant BILL O'REILLY asked lewdly: "What, you've got a vibrator, don't you? Every girl does." When Plaintiff replied indignantly, "No, and no, they don't. Does your wife?" Defendant replied: "Yes, in fact she does. She'd kill me if she knew I was telling you!" Plaintiff was repulsed."
I was just thinking that, actually stronger AA implementations of AA are needed to counter the influence of embittered old white men on corporate power. There should be quotas for fortune 500 companies to rid the atmosphere of their old malice.
You've had fifty years of exactly what you describe. When might some gains be expected?
I here them talk in this thread about blacks dragging everyone else down. Actually they are dragging everyone else down with their rotten, old malice.

Yes. I read that too.
racism - Wiktionary
Mr. Obama, Welcome to the NFL!
For all its gracelessness, the McCain campaign, given openings by Barack, stepped in and put Muhammad Ali on the canvas.
..............
This was the opening Rick Davis of McCain's campaign needed to deliver a vicious uppercut to Obama's jaw........
Republicans can turn to completing the neutering of this presidency
Obama's presidency may last 17 or 65 more months, but it has been irreversibly neutered
Less qualified candidates are selected because of the color of their skin, that is inherently racist.
100% correct
since i understood it the first time and know what it actually means theres no need to reread it.
it says universities, not the LAW'S or based on legal EQUALITY or based on RIGHTS or based on FACTUAL AA/EEO but the universities MADE UP policies that . . .wait for it . . . BROKE THE LAW
hence why they lost, they were NOT practicing factual AA/EEO
thank you AGAIN for proving the facts right and your own statement wrong
Once again facts win and the fact remains that real AA/EEO is not racist by definition. "AA/EEO makes it ILLEGAL to make any hiring, firing, promotional, training, monetary, and benefit decisions based on race among many other things" The school choose to practice somethign different and it was found to be illegal no matter the name they called it.
Now you can easily see the mistake you made.
