Do you support veterans' preferences that many federal agencies use?

Let's compare-

Alum and trust fund babies get their preference without serving anything or anyone, more a right of birth....

Veteran preferences are without regard to financial status, rank on ETS, or MOS. They are EARNED by SERVING the nation....

Many wealthy offspring consider service to country a waste of their time...

So which rewards service and which rewards birth... which should a grateful nation support???? ✌

stop your stupid lies about what I have said. You constantly make up crap and try to attribute it to me. Should private schools have to ignore ability to pay?

Running away from what you post- typical....

When trust fund babies whine about racial preference leaving poor Asians kids out so black kids get the scholarship (first whined about with Obama getting his scholarship) They are crying crocodile tears. They use the issue to bash one race and really don't care. They damn sure don't want to lose their preference- rich and or an alum's child.....

If the Richie Rich kids truly wanted an equal playing field why don't they compete against the poor Asians kids as well????

Never said should ignore ability to pay- just ignore who the Daddy is when considering entry.... ✌
 
I guess I can say people have the right to be uneducated when it comes to race but why should we tolerate an uneducated hateful society?

That's not the kind of country I would think of as "great" nor is it the kind I want our diverse children to grow up in.
 
Everyone has the right to their racist and or bigoted thoughts if they have them.

When thoughts become criminal deeds, well then we have a problem, no one has the right to put racist and bigoted thoughts into criminal deeds.

That is my inestimable opinion.
 

Tell that to the progressives demanding "EQUITY" not equality.

“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
 

Who are you quoting?
 
Answer... Yes with exceptions where current law prohibits it. Like burning a cross in a yard for example.

Tresspassing onto someone's property and burning a cross there, is a big deal.

Its not a simple matter of "Freedom of Speech".
 

OF COURSE, people have a right to be a "racist" as long as they stay within the law.

If a person does not like, say, Martians, that person has a right to stay away from them as much as possible, but s/he has NO right to interfere with their rights under the law.

Many people are "racists" in the sense that they fear, say, Martians, but they would NEVER subject a Martian to verbal or physical abuse. They would respect the rights that Martians have under the law.
 
Privileged, underachieving leaches, born with spoons of sliver up their butts, whine about an overachieving, underprivileged minority receiving a helping hand to get to first base while they demand that daddy's money keep them safely on third, even though they never did a goddamned thing to earn that spot. The hypocrisy is stunning.

That is irrelevant to my point, my point is all the conservatives who claim to be 1A fundamentalists here, almost never apply that 1A fundamentalism to people outside their clique, that 1A fundamentalism is something they only apply to themselves and not others.

When conservatives talk about small government and freedom, they only mean for themselves, not people outside of the conservative clique.
 
class warrior style nonsense is always tedious. If universities got rid of preferences, the top universities would mainly be Asians and Whites.
 
This is a bit of fiction that the SJW movement wants people believe. Legacies at the big name Ivies generally graduate with higher grades than non-legacies. Smart people tend to have kids who are very competitive academically
 
Some people just want to.make top colleges white again

Then why do they need daddy to buy them a spot in the Ivies?

Isn't that the aim of the anti Affirmative Action assholes?
 
It's weird. People are like, "Hey that underprivileged overachiever who Harvard accepted scored one point lower on the SAT than my underachieving, overprivileged spoiled brat. That's UNFAIR!"
