No it wouldn't be fair or accurate for you to say that and besides, I don't think that's what eddie willers meant.
Actually, that is my quote and it is reference to all of your posts, nobody else is referenced. It means that your view on race is one which perpetuates the belief that blacks can only accomplish or succees with help - due to their being oppressed. If one holds the views that you have stated - would it not follow that we can assume that you have accomplished all you have accomplished due to racial preferences, race based scholarships, and race based admissions?

I thought you were originally responding to a statement made by eddie willers to me.
More importantly, let me say that the above statement reflects some ignorance on your part. The fact of racial oppression throughout history does have some affect on the tools that Black people have to work with. Yet, most of us still achieve with what we have. The antidote to racial discrimination is not just race-based privileges and if you think it is then your interpretations are way off base. Despite history, a Black person can succeed on his or her own merit and doesn't necessarily need racial preferences of any kind.
The fact that I note the racial significance of Halle's and Denzel's wins last night doesn't mean that I would also automatically support racial preferences. If you think there's a connection you're wrong.
