I REALLY wish that was true and they could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, then we could be rid of that failed legislation. *evil grin* Then companies could legally hire the more qualified white folk instead of being forced to hire less qualified black folk, then I may not have to clean up so many messes.
I'm be dubious of the claim that those benefited by affirmative action possess lower qualification or skill anyway.
charlie,
could it just simply be that "black" folks are the least evolved people on the planet?
wtf?!!! Why would anyone do that to themselves?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed that one day we would live in a society where individuals would be judged by their character and not the color of their skin. The affirmative action policies of today are both unnecessary and detrimental to minority success.

You do realize that MLK supported affirmative action, don't you?
An editorial by the racist Leonard Pitts? Surely you don't take his rants seriously. Or do you?

Some odd tribal ritual. The Inca did the same thing to their ears. One might ask the same about Americans' continued practice of circumcising male children, of course.

Affirmative Action actually hurts minorities, a high school student with a below average academic record is likely to be a below average college student. Thus, students admitted through minority recruiting programs often end up in remedial classes with mediocre academic performance. Through simple cause and effect, affirmative action programs prolong the stereotype of minority students finishing near the bottom of their class by encouraging enrollment in universities beyond an appropriate level of difficulty. According to a federal study, just 39% of enrolled black students finish their degrees compared to 54% of white students. 2 Attending a university where the pace of learning is too difficult is just as counterproductive as attempting to lift too much weight at the gym.
The insistence on relaxed admission standards for minority students insinuates that such students are incapable of succeeding without such programs. This insult casts a permanent doubt on the real achievements of high-achieving minorities.
that... makes sense

Long nails on women actually came about due to division of labor. Physical labor destroys snails, so longer nails were viewed as a feminine trait, as women were not 'supposed to' do 'men's work'. Then, as the social castes grew in importance, SUPER-long nails made it clear that one never did work at all- kinda like hoe pale skin became a sign of beauty and affluence.
