I love affirmative action

Also, why is it, ckmed, do you think, that so few black kids apply to college? Get accepted at college? Stay in college as compared to white? They’re just not “best” enough, as a group, as a race?

Whatever the cause, it correlates extremely well race.



Unless this is the conclusion you want to arrive at, think long and hard on how preposterous it is with the current state of education to expect black kids to have the same opportunities as white. ONE way of breaking that cycle is to make college, and other key institutions, more accessible to minorities.

So wait…should Asian students face higher standards than Whites because they can perform at a high level on a per capita basis? So we should make college more accessible to whites?

Overall, you seem to miss the point by a long shot. Affirmative action helps well-to-do Blacks & Hispanics and hurts poor Whites and Asians. Is that your equality?
