So get rid of “affirmative action”, eliminate special race-based privileges, make all pay tuition equally based on their income, not race, do away with race norming, promote all based on performance, not race, and magically all Michelle’s problems go away and she has the same respect as all other people.
And, perhaps more importantly, a real self-respect. Maybe it’s just me, but how can anyone who receives preferential treatment EVER be sure that they are good enough? Ever? The honest individual will always have to wonder, won’t they?
I am amazed at those that argue in favor of affirmative action that the policy merely grants the opportunity (uh, yeah. OK.) Even if that’s true, the field was already slanted. No? Don’t you go in through the door on your first day grateful for the opportunity to prove yourself knowing that you never can, knowing you’ve been given something that should have been earned? And then to turn around and argue that you’ve somehow not been embraced by the larger segment of society!
I have long held that Affirmative Action is the single-most destructive policy for racial equality ever devised by man. It merely perpetuates division and only allows those affected to argue racial politics with a somewhat larger vocabulary.
Ok,,,Then do away with “legacy” admissions which highly favor whites and penalize blacks, Hispanics, and hard working Asians.
Should've known you scratch the surface and get a socialist. Democrats are pathetically weak on philosophy.
There's a sociology professor at US Davis that has published a little guidebook on everything from fish to gasoline -- what to buy and what not to buy. Top rated oil company, Citgo. Yeah! It's making big waves with the liberal set.
These are the people who are running the Dems now.
