Opposing Affirmative Action is a 'sin'; Opponents must redeem selves

I was wondering the same thing and had come to the same (contingent) conclusion

"An Affirmative Action Baby's Story: The Life of Adedamola Laniyan"

starring...Jar Jar Binks

If this bozo's resume was written as poorly as this screed, it's no wonder that it took so long to find an employer desperate enough to hire the author.

"What is the reason for not hiring a black woman who just graduated out of Baruch College (one of the most prestigious city colleges) with a bachelor's in business management? The answer is that the economy is doing bad and we are not hiring. Is the economy doing that bad that after countless interviews she is just getting a job? "

I wonder if he is refering to his b!tch or his Ho?

We've met- howdy PB

[Poohbah]

Yo, 4-deuce! What's up?

I figured as much, but the juxtaposition of your posts was too good to pass up ;)

[Magoo]

Oh but that doesn't fall under the label discrimination.
That is called "leveling the playing field" (sarcasm)

If I had two equally qualified candidates for a job, one white and another one black, I will hire the black applicant.

If that’s affirmative action or “affirmative access”, then I support it.

On the other hand, if I had two candidates for a job, one white and qualified and another one black and not-as-qualified, I will hire the white applicant.

If the last example if what passes for affirmative action, then I’m against it.

I wonder how someone as illiterate as the author of this tripe got admitted to the University at Buffalo.

Because she was black.

The Educational Opportunity Program awards grants to independent colleges and universities to subsidize programs of academic and financial support for students who are both educationally and economically disadvantaged.

"academic support for the educationally disadvantaged"

Wow, how's that for some newspeak.

It used to be for people who were either poor or poorly educated, but now you have to be both, if you look at the requirements carefully. If you come from a crappy high school, and you didn't do very well anyway, and you're poor, you have an inside track into college in the state of New York. But, of course, students like that are woefully unprepared for college, and despite the existence of large-scale remedial programs for them, the part where they say that graduation rates are "comparable" to mainstream students is just a flat-out lie.

I loved how they couched that (the EOP student's performance), in another of the Left's euphemisms: "compares favorably". In other words, it's not as bad as it could be.
