    No, you said so -- you said that affirmative action is 20 white guys losing an assistantship to 8 black guys on race alone, which as the FACTS show, isn't how it happens today. I might have happened in 1970, but that's not what happens today.

    I didn't say that there's no affirmative action occuring, I SAID THAT IT'S BEING PHASED OUT. Especially in colleges. Government moves a bit slower, but I've filled out lots of applications in private business, and NO I never saw a AA questionaire. Government is slow on everything because everything done by the government is a sop to somebody.

    Yes, FACTS ARE A SNOWJOB. KNOWING WHAT THE LAW ACTUALLY SAYS AND WHAT THE SUPREME COURT ACTUALLY RULED IS A SNOWJOB. And you don't think you are the joke? come on.

    So you pointing to a case of quotas and ignoring that the actual AA system DOES NOT USE QUOTAS is not implying quotas. Except that it actually does. So you really aren't that good at not implying, because you actually are implying.


    I actually don't support AA or quotas, I just don't think you get to play fast and loose with the facts to win. If they were abolished in all 50 states, that would be fine with me. Just quit with the BS and have an honest conversation on the topic.

    That? No. Just because humans are no animals and there are no races amongst humans. Only ethnicities. Like one goes to Poland and sees that sugar and salt are both white, so one shouldn't mix it. Dough?

    LOL. debating you is easy. First of all, it happened in 1977. Secondly, of course it can happen today, It happens every day. You think a law has anything to do with it. Laws are a joke. Politicians break them routinely and get away with it, didn't you know. Just look at all the improprieties in the startup us the Zimmerman charge. And quotas. You think they're gone ? The never went away. They're used every day. Welcome to the real world.
    I don't know where you got the idea that AA is being phased out. If anything, it see it being escalated. And having filled out 55 applications for government jobs in 2012, EVERY ONE has an AA questionnaire.

    Facts come with evidence, supplied by sources. I haven't seen a shred of evidence in your posts to support a single word you've said. And you haven't said anything that counters anything I've said, All you're doing is adding a bunch of details. Nothing's changed. As for the SCOTUS, they recently ruled AGAINST affirmative action in the Ricci vs, DeStefano case, and THAT is a FACT (with a source) >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricci_v._DeStefano

    I don't know what you're talking about. WHAT case of quotas ???? How have I been dishonest in any way at all ??? And I repeat >> I NEVER imply, insinuate, or infer anything. NOT EVER. YOU HEARD RIGHT. If you thought I was implying something (which I can hardly ever figure out what you're saying, because you're not good at communicating) it must be because you thought a faulty premise, and/or you misunderstood something I said. I don't lie, and it is stupid of you to say that I do - why would I ? I have no need. There's nothing to even lie about.

    You've BEEN HAVING an honest conversation from me, and if you don't like what you hear, I have a suggestion for you. GET LOST!

    Do you have any evidence that AA is escalating?

    Absolutely.

    Try doing business with any big city, or large company..like the auto makers.
    You'd be surprised how the required percentage of "minority-owned" businesses increases each year.

    Try doing business with the city of Detroit if you're white.

    Because you're not the one affected by it. There are a lot of people/businesses who are.

    So evidence is only evidence if it affects you?

    My bad.
    I thought you wanted evidence of AA.

    It was not evidence, period. Do you have any evidence. You know, some data that shows that affirmative action is escalating. Other than anecdotal commentary?

    Thanks.

    Oh.
    Well, I'm not going to go link-fishing.

    I didn't realize there was anyone left in America who wasn't aware of this.

    EARTH TO MICKETTO: ANYTHING can be shown to be ANYTHING according to ANYBODY'S "data". Having "data" doesn't mean squat. In fact the best "data", is the data of your eyes and your ears. For instance, if "data" showed that a country was egalitarian, and it's wealth was distributed very equally, yet you see some people living in mansions and driving new expensive cars, while others live in poverty, you know the data is FALSE and unreliable. Yet the data of your eyes and ears weren't fooled were they ?

    Err... I don't think anyone is doing any business with Detroit right now. I think losing a contract with the city was probably a blessing in disguise.

    Answer the Question.

    No Dodging, would you have told the Blacks of 1950s to simply accept the institutionalized racism arrayed against them, and just accept their race based 5th rate citizen fate? Yes or No? No dodging.

    Wow, thanks for asking me an easy question. No, I wouldn't have accepted the institutionalized racism of the '50s and I wouldn't have told them to accept their former status as 5th rate citizens etc.

    You sure got me man, you got me!

    So you then support the Common, Low-Income, White Americans struggle to end the Institutionalized Racial Discrimination arrayed against them in 2010? No Dodging, Yes or No?

    It's not a matter of logic. It's a matter of common sense. As long as your adversaries are abusing you, you don't have peace with them until they stop. That was hard, huh ?

    For one thing racism within the black community is very high.

    There are many ways to make someone into a slave, a Whip, Ball & Chain is among the least effective of them.
