In other words, it's based on race.
Bravo! But isn't it sad that Mr. Houston never escaped his perennially-offended victim status long enough to see the money-making opportunity right in front of his face?
"Hmmm... they must have sold the three cookies to Hispanics, given their rates."
Or one white male sale and two black sales or one white female, one hispanic, and one black....but considering the apparent discord created, yer assumption is probably more likely to be accurate.
FReegards...MUD
Why, did the black guy threaten violence if they kept on selling the cookies? I mean, what could POSSIBLY be unsafe about this?
Matt Houston, a 19-year-old sophomore, called the group's price list offensive.
The above sentence contains a typo. It should read: "a 19-year-old Philadelphia lawyer ..."
"My reaction was disgust because of the ignorance of some SMU students," said Houston, who is black. "They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization."
That reminds me of the lesbian college student who tried to take over a class I taught nine years ago, in New Jersey. She thought it was ignorance for people to identify homosexuality as being based on sexual behavior.
That is an absolutely amazing statistic! Where did you make that up?
"They were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization."
DIVERSITY IS ABOUT RACE. It is not about gender, it is about RACE.
Who thinks a college allowing only white, blond, Nordic types would be allowed by the left, even if it admitted men and women equally? Show of hands?? I know you're out there, I can hear you breathing...
Great tag line <G>
I'll bet this black student isn't offended by so-called 'affirmative action' policies.
""This was not an issue about free speech," Tim Moore, director of the SMU student center, said in a story for Thursday's edition of The Dallas Morning News. "It was really an issue where we had a hostile environment being created."
I'm sure the Young Conservatives club thinks that the university environment is hostile to them every day, but you don't hear them whining.
If you changed it to 'How many colleges that also received the NCAA death penalty can claim that?' and I'll be you'd have a slam-dunk winner.
That's the legacy of the NAACP, the ACLU and other intolorant, racist, rabid leftist groups. Notice they all get together in groups, like gangs, like packs and attack anyone who looks or says or does amothing they deem offensive. The majority of us, the mainstream, who believe no one should be penalized OR receive special preference because of their race have no need to use this gang or pack mentality.
Leftism is a progressive illness.
