I'd be totally fine with affirmative action if it was truly equal.

What I mean is, I would be okay with a racial minority getting a bump in regards to hiring if that was a universal practice because blacks are not the minority everywhere.

In Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Detroit for example, blacks are not the minority, whites are. If affirmative action was just, then a white applicant for a job in BR and NOLA would get the extra points, be the diversity hires, get the raises for being diverse, etc.

Still not ok with it. How can we transcend race when we advocate innately racist policy?

I'd rather full removal, but I'd take this as a concession if I could.

You white dog? You don’t get it, your ancestors were white supremacy thugs that raped, robbed and pillaged their way to wealth and prosperity over the last 10,000 years while all other races just coward in fear and simply want to hold and Hug each other. And now you have to die for the unjust and unfair advantages and riches that all that rapping and pillaging delivered to you and your family. Nothing to do with the fact that they are still sitting on sand piles in Africa starving to death today, that’s right 2018. You and your ancestors are responsible for that too. Just fuking die you white devil! There did I get it right. You god dam right I did.

Racial dynamics change, so managing this would be nearly impossible. Besides, liberals are conjuring new protected classes every day. Where does it end?

So your idea is to take something that is extremely stupid and make even dumber than it already is

No matter how much of a piece of shite I ever feel like I can always remind myself I'm not you

Afirmative action is one of many things in our culture that teaches us that racism is a neutral tool that can be employed for both good and bad ends.

Obviously if racism itself were morally wrong, we would not have affirmative action.

Hiring based on racism instead of merit. Thanks, libs.

Nah. If you can prove racial discrimination for a job then that should be good enough. Forcing an employer to hire someone of a particular color is racism.

Choosing the best applicant is racist. They always pick the white and Asian guys

Can you catch like Danny Woodhead? Break tackles like Toby Gearhart? Block like Mike Alstott?

If not, STFU.

You can base it on economic circumstances. It is obscene that Lebron's kids will get preferential treatment over mine. I don't have that much of a problem with giving kids from shitty neighborhoods a couple of points on college admittance but there's no decent reason to tie that to race.

My white wife works at an HBCU. The level of incompetence will blow your fricking mind. Everyone has a PhD yet no one can tell you what damn day it is.

I've been in factories in China with dirt fricking floors that were more efficiently ran.

That's affirmative action for you.
