<p>My post was on the satirical side. </p>
<p>This group does not acknowledge that Michigan was the leader in Affirmative Action. Yet, in many of their posts in the Michigan Daily they’ve called the University racist. Even still, Michigan tries to get around the race-blind by accepting students from known Black majority high schools in the Detroit area(yes, this gives white students the same advantage).</p>
<p>I’ve read comments in the Michigandaily site where Black people claim that the amount of racism has not reduced in in the last several decades. This is blatantly false since any time anything slightly remotely racist occurs, there is huge backlash against that person/group. This is partially largely influenced by online media. What has happened is that people are now MORE SENSITIVE to it. And they are more sensitive it because the media forms prints these racial incidences out in a visible form and allows them to be heard on a wider audience. </p>
<p>However, Black communities seems to under-represent the efforts on how their young culture should change their attitudes and perspectives towards education. This student group could take a few lessons from Kimberly Bryant(Tedx Speaker: Black Girls Code).</p>
<p>If you leave Affirmative Action in place, then that implies that minorities can’t do it on their own. If you’re a high achieving Black student, why would you want to keep it? Wouldn’t you want it gone, that way you can say you actually “did it on your own” and avoid harassment?</p>
