Republican Voter Suppression!

[sanantone]

You seem to want racism to disappear when its not in your favor, but don’t mind racism when it is in your favor as with Affirmative Action.
Racism is putting a race or gender above other races or genders.
Favoring affirmative action dissolves your argument against racially profiling.

If you can’t live without Affirmative action, what does that say for those favored races or the people of minorities who benefit from it? Is it saying that they are not ever capable of being successful in whatever capacity they apply for? Of course not. Affirmative action is just a racist choice and irresponsible.

Like I said earlier, most conservatives misunderstand Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action is meant to create a balance among qualified people. The girl who is suing University of Texas because Affirmative Action kept her from being admitted is completely uninformed. Blacks and Hispanics are way underrepresented at UT in comparison to the general Texas population, so the favoritism is not there. White females (and she is one) have benefited more from Affirmative Action than anyone else. If she would have worked harder and got into the Top 10% of her class, she would have been admitted. I applied to Tulane University when I graduated from high school and didn't get in. My SAT score was above average, but it wasn't high enough for Tulane. Minorities and women still have to meet the minimum standards set by the organization. Affirmative Action is about equal opportunity, not quotas. After graduating with my degree, I went to a lot of interviews and almost a year went by before I got a new job. People simply do not understand how Affirmative Action works. I'm in a small minority where I live. If I were being favored for employment, I wouldn't have been turned down so many times. The organizations repeatedly chose older, more experienced people and they weren't black in most cases.


There are dirt poor people who are conservatives -- they live in Mississippi and take government handouts at a pretty high rate.
