You are irrelevant so stop wasting your time commenting on my post. It is comical.

He couldn't take the test because he was black before affirmative action. What is so hard to understand.

Do you care if black people get shafted? Are you saying we dont?

What you believe doesn't matter, and it doesn't stop it from being true:)

No, it is not. My dad could not even test for the job until affirmative action because of his skin color. He was given a chance and scored the highest on the test. He earned his job. Before affirmative action A white person who had a lower score would ve been hired, and my dad would've been left out due to his skin color. My granny and my parents had to ride in the back of the bus. There was a general consensus that black men were not smart enough to be a quarterback, which is racist. Has anyone ever said that white men are not smart enough to be dbs, are they not allowed to try out for that position, are they turned away because they are white? Nope, they are not.

He would not have been given a chance if it not for affirmative action. White people already had the opportunity, they were always allowed to take the test even after affirmative action. My dad scored the highest on the test. He did not take away anyone's opportunity to test. Is it fair that a white person gets a job, merely because he is white, even if a minority is more qualified? You can't erase the past.

How did they have the same opportunities? Did your parents have to ride in the back of the bus, were their family members lynched? Could they eat at restaurants, could they stay at any hotel that they wished? Yes, my parents did not have that luxery. Were your parents denied opportunities because of their race? Were they told they were not good enough, because of their skin color? You should be ashamed of yourself, you cannot erase the past or minimize what my parents have endured.

Affirmative action helps qualified blacks, and allows them a chance to better themselves. How many white kids are admitted that are not up to par merely because they are white or because they are legacy? After the Civil Rights Act, my dad was able to test for a position at Dupont, and he made the highest score. He would have never gotten that opportunity without Affirmative action

They won't pair up. It is not going to happen, ever

Yes, not all of the most qualified are white. Minorities will have a chance

Baylor was 70% White, and you guys are complaining

What is the college population of black people?

Yet we only comprised 8% of the student body

We are only 2 generations past the Civil Rights Act. My generation, and my kids' generation. The majority of all college campuses are comprised of white people. Baylor, when my son was there, was only 8 % black, 70% white. Why are you all complaining.

I agree. That would definitely help minorities.

How am I profiting off of dead folks? 😀

I agree, but she tried to deter him from getting a 4 year degree. If that was his wish, why would she try to persuade him to pursue something else?

White people have always had privileges in this country. Does that upset you?

My mom has ptsd

It comes from opportunity. My dad and mom didnt have that.

You went.to college? Dang, where did you go? You need a refund.

Easy for you to say. You did not experience what my mom did. PTSD is real.

Nope, at least now they have a chance. There was a time that people could not get into college because of their race. They had to create HBCUs which were also underfunded. Your kinfolks get in because they are white, and because of nepotism. I made my own way. I have 2 degrees. (4.08 on a 4.0 scale). My son also made his own way. He graduated from Baylor.( 4.9 on a 4.0 scale) He is now a securities broker. My nephew has a degree and is a public relations representative. My sister is a teacher, and my husband is a RN; as well. His white racist guidance counselor at school told him to pick up a trade., because he would never get a 4 year degree. Now he make 6 figures. IN SPITE OF......

The ruling was against TWO universities, but......read the article. 😀 [Hidden Content]
