You should be happy an advancement for black people means advancement for white women. Your welcome.
Why would I be happy about dirtying the waters of an already antiquated Affirmative Action system?
I got my current scholarship strictly through academic merit. Only person I need to thank is myself.

Ha you wouldn't even have the right to vote if it wasn't for black people. I hope you enjoy making 21% less than your male counterparts.

Since there is no link, did this study account for higher academic achievement for white women?
AA policies still require the person to meet minimum qualifications for the job, it just allows them to skip over a higher qualified individual to hire them. Since minority academic achievements lag whites, it would necessarily lead to white women outpacing minorities that otherwise don't qualify at all.

Maybe we should take a page from your book and start demanding reparations for the time between the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. That's how that works right?

I enjoy making the same as my male counterparts who have been in my profession as long as I have. My current profession is female-dominant and has long followed pretty standard equal pay guidelines based on seniority.

I wonder what movement led to white women getting those higher educations???
Lets take a look at how flight attendants have changed since the 60s


You think those gals would have been flight attendants in the 60s looking like that??? Your welcome civil rights movement.

The Catholic Church has been researching it for years, the most reside in Louisiana.

That movement applied to everyone. Of course, white women still had a head start being connected to white males.

Islam has said that Muslim suicide bombers will not detonate their bomb vest when they are within 100 feet of a descendant of the Africans who were enslaved by Islam and forced onto slave ships 400 years ago.
How much more privilege can you get than being assured of getting into Georgetown and not being killed by terrorists.

This is not a good idea. Such a slippery slope.
So glad my school doesn't do this affirmative action crap in any respect. Just invites problems.

This.
This isn't blanket affirmative action, which is an atrocity. This is specific, targeted penance to family members of people the university specifically wronged.
