Shut up and go make me a sammich.
You all see what you want to see. Continue to blame rich liberals for your problems and lack of success in life. We'll always need more house help....lol
I'm white bro. I didn't qualify for financial aid or scholarships either. I could have probably gone to Stanford instead of UCLA if I was black or Mexican. The only point I was trying to make is that white people in general have it easier than other minorities, based on how our institutions are set up. You've got to be completely brainwashed if you don't accept that. Take it from a conservative Republican like me.
Should you lose sleep over it? No, just get over it. Make your own money. Stop looking at what's going on to other people and focus on your life. I once dated a Mexican girl who got into Law school entirely due to the fact that she was an URM; she ended up dropping out because it was too hard anyway. Tit for tat. The universe will always reach equilibrium. The white (?) person's spot she took will have a brighter future regardless, even thought he's been 'discriminated against' I'm sure.
The same people who are bitching black people playing the race card are destined to turn into the thing they hate.
Go watch Morgan Freeman's video for someone who 'gets it'.
PS, funny how no one gives a crap about Asians, who are actually indeed the ones getting screwed the most out of AA and haven't really done anything to deserve it.

Move fucking on. If you've got a enough money in the bank you don't to worry about any discrimination.

Now snap to it, my sammich ain't gonna make itself.
Interesting article on the discriminatory policies against white folks in college admissions. It goes beyond just affirmative action, but even into how the schools decide who gets scholarships, financial aid etc. Pretty fucked up brah. I knew it was fucked up that a poor white boy like myself couldn't get any scholarships when I was younger, but I didn't realize we get raped on financial aid and shit too. Damn. Also covered - the myth of white privilege.
Huh? Do you have any idea what you're talking about? The fact that you get so pissed is because of your priviledge...
Women (me) and minorities get discriminated against all the time.
all the time? Please show me 2 instances in the last year where you personally were discriminated against? How about instances in the last 5 years?
If it happens all the time, surely you can point out some number of instances of discrimination in your own life. If not, how about your immediate family?
I'm guessing you can't come up with any.
I am sure someone cut her off in traffic. That just had to be motivated by sexism!
She doesn't drive...her "help" drives her around.
lol @ the education level here.
You want to know the reason for affirmative action? Its a numbers game.
Minorities have less people in high paying jobs, less students in good schools, more people in jail, etc. etc. You can blame that on whatever racist belief you have; "they don't want to work hard, they're less intelligent, blah blah.". Or you can blame it on things like the lack of availability opportunity, family environment, role models, etc. Either way, anyone with a rational mind would understand that these numbers aren't proportionate to the rest of the population, and that something is wrong. And unless you do something to fix it, it will forever be wrong.
AA is there to fix it; it's not inherently fair, but equity and equality do not go hand in hand. You must lean one way or another. And when you're the privileged majority of a nation, of course you'll tell yourself that EQUITY = FAIRNESS. Believing in equity changes nothing for you, while believing in equality means you align yourself to policies like AA, taxing the rich, feeding the poor, etc.
Minorities know its not fair to white people. Minorities understand why its an unfair system. But the majority doesn't see is how EVERYTHING ELSE is an unfair system for minorities. They don't see the race/class/sex/religious discrimination, because everyone in the majority is exactly alike the majority. And so unto this platform is born ignorant wickedfire poster's bitching about how the system fucks them.

Black people are enslaved by the progressives. Affirmative action, welfare, Quotas...I'ts all to buy the black vote and keep them under the thumb of the left.
Blacks today are just as enslaved as they were hundreds of years ago and the slave masters are the progressives/socialst/wana be liberals/democrats. Until they shun the slave masters, they will always be in the same situation.
Just because someone gives you free shit doesn't always mean they are looking out for your best interest.
P.S. As far as education level goes.......University is supposed to give a young person the ability to think for themselves. It is obvious that you are thinking just like your progressive professors trained you too.
