Yet millions of stupid black people voted for that bumbling, stupid Affirmative Action hire, Barak Obama based on the color of his skin....

BTW, Trump as so far, by EVERY measurable metric, been a better President than Obumbles....I know that bothers you....

No one says this. We all know it's Asians.

You left some things out, I fixed it for you.....you're welcome!

Here is your proof. NSFW due to very little cussing.

Educated women fighting.

nonsense.

90% of black women I work with in corporate America can hardly finish a sentence without using Ebonics. I figure their job is to walk around the office all day talking, socializing, and pretending they are needed. I’ve never seen them actually work

Don't weep. I made that post over a year ago, but this thread was bumped by an idiot newb.

This idiot newb saw this post incidentally while searching for something different, and came across these racist, ignorant posts. Regardless of whether or not someone bumped the post, doesn't mean that y'all had to engage. That is your decision.

And as I have said before, your level of education is not equivalent to your ability to contribute to society. Not every vocation requires a lot of formal education, while others may. Every person has the ability to acquire skills that will enable to contribute to society in varying areas. Everyone has the responsiblity to contribute and produce, and shame on you if you choose not to be a contributing member of society regardless of what race you are.
I reject the notion that someone should be considered superior to another based on the level of education achieved. However, this stat does show that there is an increased level of pursuing higher education than there has been previously, and also shows that perhaps more black women are pursuing higher education than previously thought.
Of course, instead of just taking these facts as they are, people are posting trying to dismiss this as saying that this influx doesn't count because they are probably getting "pointless" degrees that they "didn't earn". The audacity for someone to assume that a whole group of people didn't work hard to achieve their level of education in order to better themselves financially, or to pursue their dreams. This is unacceptable, and the fact that people allow each other to just say the most ridiculous, racially charged things that they wouldn't dare say to someone's face is just sickening.
And for the record, it doesn't matter where you are there will ALWAYS be people who obtained a degree that they probably didn't earn. There will always be people who had favors called for them or connections whatever it may be. For the most part, if someone didn't deserve to be in a school then they will fail, and weed themselves out. It doesn't mean that someone shouldn't be given a chance because they might not do well, if you have reason to believe that they will do well. People should be given the opportunity to do well without things like standardized tests being such heavy determinants on whether they should be given an opportunity. There are people who had to bust their behinds, just to get things that are handed to other people and they still come up short. There's nothing wrong with giving someone the chance to demonstrate their abilities. In fact, anyone can learn most things. It's the ability to be resourceful, have a stable enough life outside of school, and work hard consistently that gets people through rigorous programs. It also helps if you have positive reinforcement and role models to interact with to help you toward that end goal, and see what steps are taken to achieve.
The problem is, black people are expected to "prove" that they belong in universities, while white students are assumed that they are. The very fact that it is assumed that a seat was "taken" from a white person baffles me. Who's to say it was their seat to begin with? Also, if anyone gets seats taken from them, it is Asians. They consistently have higher scores and yet don't get every seat in colleges.
There is nothing wrong with a school believing that representation of the various demographics in their university should reflect the demographics in the country. If a certain group is overrepresented, and another group is underrepresented, then it is fair to ask yourself why that is and if the standards by which people are being judged is inherently fair, especially when you see students perform extremely well despite those perceived "shortcomings".

Everyone has a skillset and a purpose, and everyone deserves to have the opportunity to let that shine. The idea that any one group shines at the expense of an other is really archaic, and maybe even primitive thinking. “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Oh really? and what metrics are those? Last I checked, we have a Russian puppet who is about to give them exactly what they want, to start a nuclear arms race. About to get us into war with multiple countries. Literally the president is outwardly breaking laws, paying off people with hush money. We had the government shut down for the longest period of time EVER, costing the US $11B dollars, $3B of which will likely never be recovered, and with no resolution. Over a wall that isn't gonna stop any drugs from coming in, when we got high functioning ships and tunnels fully equipped to smuggle the most dangerous things in. The national debt is the most it has EVER been-- what is it like $4TRILLION? He ran on being a "negotiator" yet, he has blown almost every negotiation and treaty he has been involved with. Health insurance is even WORSE than it was with Obama. They took away these incentives, and made it more expensive to administer health plans that offer even less health coverage. Then his dumb self is still issuing the tax credits, so it isn't even costing people more in order to drive people away from buying like he wanted, but only served to make it more expensive for the government since they now have to issue even larger credits for more expensive plans-- just dumb.
The audacity of you to call Barack (which you incorrectly spelled in case you were wondering) Obama, "Obumbles" when Trump is literally the least articulate president we have had in recent history. He can't even pronounce reasonable words, or spell them correctly, but yet he wants to represent the country. But y'all let all of that slide because why?
We've had some great republican presidents who have done their job well, regardless of if I agreed with all of their policies, but Trump isn't even remotely close to being one of them. If Obama had even been accused of ANY ONE of the things Trump is accused of, he would have been out of office by now. It's a double standard, and in particular of all the democrat presidents, Obama is the one that triggers you the most. I think you should check your motives for that...
I don't even know why I even spent the time saying this because we know the reason why you have a particular problem with Obama. The things you even could say about him is "affirmative action" and racist remarks with no factual basis. We also know that you don't REALLY believe Trump is a good president, but you can't admit it. You can't admit that you judge Trump by separate standards than you did Obama. In fact the only way people like you speak about Trump isn't by saying that he is a good president by his own merits, they immediately just try and compare their opinion of Trump to their opinion of Obama with nothing to back it up.
