You know I was intrigued with this thread to see if some very interesting counter points as to why affirmative action makes sense could move me.
Like Mr. Pheer I too had a State Trooper Exam that I scored 96 on. I was told the Troops were only looking for minority troopers at the time...
This comment is the most bullshit cop out I have ever heard in my life. I hope to God our Black community even here on this board will step up and say that is complete fucking non sense.
With comments like this you make the entire nation feel like it is pointless to remain objective.
I am actually really bummed out now. The affirmative action movement should be an embarrassment to any self respecting Hispanic, Black, or Asian who has taken the time to educate themselves and have the determination to make something of themselves.
Asians have been proven to score much higher on the SAT regardless of income...should we make them score higher than everyone now
Fuck your prep course bullshit...I took the SAT and I did not get extra courses.... there are whites out there from low income families too I don?t hear them saying anything about shit...except it is hard for them to get into college too...some race points would sure help though.
