Is letting somone less qualified get something based on skin color to prevent racism really just another form of racism?

  of Race/sex?  I don't think that is a secret.....   affirmative action noun : the practice of improving the educational and job opportunities of members of groups that have not been treated fairly in the past because of their race, sex, etc.

    Exactly.....and a few of the posters you mentioned are still around.......I bumped into SFA85 a couple months ago in the football thread.......he's still the same.....lol

He is no more qualified than Obama.   We need someone who has ran a large company or State......

    I made sure we had split custody. I get my Son a week, and she gets him the next. It works out perfect. The kid is happy and I get to spend a lot of time with him. I pick him up from school on her weeks, so I see him everyday. I don't know that I could stand "standard visitation".

  To me, so is alimony......       If women wants equal right.....it should be equal.....

  Westend has gotten soft in his old age.....   He used to be a force in his younger days.....lol

  I know......   I wish he wouldn't   I would enjoy a debate without talking points

  I agree   and I also can't stand when someone answers a question WITH ANOTHER QUESTION!   Example: Why did Bush go to Iraq?                     Why does Obama want to rule the world?   Answer the question asked, then ask your question.

  Let's not get carried away....

I'm not extreme anything.....

This forum has went from a discussion forum to a Left against Right, Republican against Democrat and Black against white.   There are only a group of posters that I respect and listen to their view.  When this forum first started their was decent discussions and very few "talking points" posted from whatever side you were on.

Not Evil.......just in WAY  over his head and his policies are hurting the country.......that's all

  That is the problem....the only sides should be right and wrong....yet you have people that want to bring up all kinds of excuses.......and past issues.....and even "our President"......   and one would think if they do follow the money trial and are able to recover some of it, and return it to the school district, that would be a good thing.....no matter who it came from

  talking points......that's what you think those are....lol   That was facts and history of what happened and what is probably going to happen.   You really don't get it.....

  Who?   Give specifics....quote anyone saying they support Reagan's amnesty deal....

  And I posted because I found it interesting IF true......   Interesting because of how high it went in chain of politics......

  Your words....   I don't know if you quoted this Hippy, or this is your poor choice of journalistic freedom. I know you have had a few words back & forth with "Blacks" on the site, but I know you know better. This isn't a slip up. This has the same connotation as you "Whites" or let's just call it what it is just plain Racist.   If you say it, own it   Asking me if I'm above it?......read your response to my post of a link.....I thought you would of been above it

The easy way out.....   just like I'm pegged for being a racist because I post an article......   or disagree with the "blacks"  <<<<<<<<<not MY words either

  I'm offended that you automatically thought it was me without giving me the benefit of the doubt. I did not denouce the author because I was posting the article. I did not take it as offensive, but you did, and that's fine.....but you should have made the effort to find out who said it before accusing me and bringing up the past. The information was there, you didn't do the research.   I rest my case

  I thought I had words with PEOPLE on this site.....I thought they all had names......I didn't know you lumped them into one category.....seems racist to me

  REAL TALK!

  They would have to take the effort to click......he apparently would rather jump to conclusions and blame me and racism.......SMDH

    Well, let's see......if you were so level headed, you may have gave me the benefit of the doubt and clicked on the LINK I convieniently put at the bottom of my post. You would have then got to read and figure out that was posted from the ARTICLE. That's WHY I named the topic of this post what I did.   And YOU claim not to be racist, but all you got out of that article was the "angry black man",....that's really ashamed, because there is SO much more in that article. Millions of dollars being stole from BISD and PISD AND it may even get into the court house of Jefferson county.........   But at least you read what you thought was important.....   I'm offended.......and also not the racist.....a mirror may be in order for some people

  Do you really believe the stories that come out of Hamas?
