baseman posted:The time of allotments in University/colleges is long past. Everyone should compete on merit, not race, plain and simple!! Blacks are no different and they do possess the aptitude to compete with anyone!!
Interesting that the same GOP, which ensures that inner city schools are starved of resources, then scream when even the best of these schools cannot compete.
Raw affirmative action into colleges ended long ago. One cannot get into college by virtue of being black.
And don't pull out the average SAT scores either, as legacy kids (almost al white) and white athletes score worse than average blacks.
The GOP continues to encourage mediocre whites with this nonsense, instead of dealing with the increasing difficulties faced by poorer whites, which increasingly mirror those of poorer blacks.
They encouraged a culture of racial resentment, telling them that blacks, Hispanics and "furriners" were getting favored treatment. This as they closed down plants and ensured that real wages have declined, all due to decisions made by rich white men.
So poor white men vote for a rich white legacy kid. A spoiled brat who only succeeded because his daddy gave him a platinum spoon.
