Re your # 5....
While rejecting racism is a political must it is also a moral must. Those are fine words!
But what is a racist?
Is a racist a person who believes that all people are not equal either physically or intellectually.....but that everyone must have the same opportunity to use whatever capability he or she has?
Is rejecting two better qualified white students at the U Michigan simply and solely because the University needed to fill their quota for Black students "moral"? Seems to me the white kids got screwed.
"But what is a racist?" Good question.
If a racist is someone who believes slaves deserve reparations, but not their descendants, I guess I qualify.
If a racist is someone who believes everybody should have the same opportunity, based upon hard work and innate intelligence, not gender or race, then I guess I qualify.
If a racist is someone who believes affirmative action has been overdone, I guess I qualify.
I don't dislike anybody. Period. I worship with blacks and hispanics, and have them into my home. But I fellowship them because they have proven themselves.
That's a far cry from endorsing criminals and third world ratholes just because they are minorities.
Well, I'm not sure what the policy of the University of Michigan has to do with this but I completely oppose it. It is racist to gave any group special treatmeat because of race.
But what is a racist?Whenever you see yourself in a mirror, you are looking at one.

Hijacking a thread? This thread is about Somali immigrants in Lewiston, Maine, yet you throw in a completely irrelevant issue (with respect to the topic of this thread) about U of M.
That's certifiably insufferable, and you are as well.
