So are these the new Liberal rules on race?

handicaps on tests of verbal skills should be slowly PHASED OUT-------they are counter-
productive


Many Asians are speaking English as a second language and are not only punished for their race in order to enable blacks, but do better on the verbal ANYWAY.

yes-----verbal skills EVEN FOR SECOND LANGUAGE PEOPLE ----can be done----if
standard English is recognized as THE LANGUAGE TO KNOW AND USE. I believe that a preference for perversion of English is
counter productive
 
You don't point out facts.
The one group it hurts most is Asians.
Untrue.

Ahem.

Denial is all you got.

Then I got it from you. You bought up all the denial on the block and now hold the exclusive rights. Everything I say is a matter of simple logic and common sense, everything you claim is racially driven and self-motivated. Not only is arguing with you futile but so is everything you argue for. NONE of it will ever happen.
 
It’s racist to criticize a minority Democrat politician.
It’s racist to complain about the mass illegal immigration border crisis.
It's also racist to disagree with a self-appointed self-vindicating black man like IM2 who hides in his own threads telling the world that the White Man is at fault for and to blame for every thing the Blacks have done to themselves.

Except blacks didn't do it to ourselves.

Sorry, Toolstain, but Whites didn't do it to ourselves either! Why do you keep insisting on apply standards from centuries old to modern situations! I just read an article on how a White woman in the late 19th century got hired at Harvard as an astro-cartographer despite everything built 100% against her. She did so by perseverance and applying herself, not whining and making childish demands. And she ended up proving herself as not just the equal to other men, but BETTER. Whatever happened in centuries past happened because it was natural at that time. Times change. Things evolve. That is the nature of things. Today we build a better building than we did 50 years ago, and that was better than 50 years before it. Humanity leans by MAKING mistakes. You learn what is right by doing what is wrong. Tons of Blacks today are succeeding in the world because they are going out and getting educated and COMPETING in the free market and winning, not whining, bitching, blaming and demanding based on issues long, long dead and past. Some people learn that you win by wining, not hiding behind rules and getting your critics blocked and silenced from voicing their pinions. What goes around comes around and now I see you too have paid the piper, a victim of your on machinations! HaHa

Yep . we have had three generations of blacks receiving the benefits of affirmative action. They receive a 230 point boost on their SAT scores compared to whites for college admissions and a 280 point boost compared to Asians. They also go to the head of the queue for jobs.

The problem here is that not enough avail themselves to the opportunities they DO have and that is entirely upon themselves. Go through life with a contempt for education and hard work and OF COURSE you won't qualify for college .

Black racists like to blame whites when blacks do not take advantage of the preferential treatment they are given, but the failure to take it is all theirs.

Whites have had 20 generations of AA. Blacks alone have never had preferences.
Well, speaking of "off topic", this thread went off the rails in a hurry.

I will say, however, that it's always fun to see the complaints about how unfair the past 20 generations, or the last 230 years, were but when February rolls around I see a laundry list of great black men and women that, somehow, were able to rise above all that and defy the odds.
It would be even better if the list was longer, yes, rather than tolerate the belly aching about why it isn't

That is a lie. You are lying quite intentionally.

A 230 point bonus to black SAT scores can't be called anything BUT preferential treatment.

I guess you are going to continue whining about this and ignore 243 years of white preferential treatment in every area of society. That is not a lie. So until you can, you can go fuck your self.


Yes, I point out facts that contradict your assertions. Thank you for noticing.

As far as fucking myself, I do appreciate the suggestion. Try as I might, however, I can barely get it half way in before it plops back out.




Now, back to the 230 point advantage you receive as a reward for the color of your skin -- What could any sane person call that, if not an advantage?

You don't point out facts.

In conversations you have consistently whined that minority students, particularly Blacks, earn extra points on the SAT’s by virtue of indicating their racial identity. I dismissed the idea as not relevant because it was not specific to the topic being discussed. This has not been the first time a white racist here has made this claim So over the past couple of years, I took the opportunity to look for the facts.

There is plenty of information about SAT scores and minorities. But the most immediate hits from this type of search shows two types of sources.

1) Sources that discuss the score disparity on the SAT for minorities and discusses why it exists, how it has changed over time, and what still can be done to change it. These articles are from places like PBS and Inside Higher Ed.


2) Sources that discuss the bonus points that minority students of color receive or that highlight the point deductions that Asian students are subject to on the SAT’s. These articles are from places like
The Conservative Treehouse and The Daily Stormer.

As a researcher who has over 30 years of experience, I have a slight advantage over others who have not had these years of experience. Especially in these days of search engines as opposed to going to libraries. However, if it clucks, regardless of whether you have training as a veterinarian you can probably figure out it’s a chicken.

Red flag # 1 The clearly partisan nature of the URL’s for the sites.

Red flag #2 The articles I read all discussed the same single study.

Red flag # 3 All the articles referred to a loosely named “Princeton University Study” without reference to any researchers, research institutes, journals that published the study, or title of the study.

Red flag # 4 No article linked to the actual study.

Red flag #5 The links that were provided were to other articles which made the same claims.

Red flag #6 The articles cited the same chunk of text (or paraphrased) without indication of where the actual text came from except that it is from a powerpoint presentation from someone named Ann Lee. The original article, from the Los Angeles Times, seems to be the first to discuss the powerpoint presentation and is linked to and/or cited by the others. A seemingly legitimate (unbiased) source it does not actually tell us who this Ann Lee is.

Red flag #7 The articles do not discuss the research. Rather, they discuss Ann Lee’s powerpoint presentation about the research.

Red flag #8 To find the actual research I had to stop following the path led by these articles and instead do an entire new search for the research itself. I was able to find the study and another related study by the same lead researchers easily once I stopped looking at these clearly partisan sites that were discussing the study. In other words, the articles citing the study as evidence actually made it hard for me to find the actual study itself by not giving the basic information on the study (authors, title, or link).


Red flag #9 Eventually, I came across one cite that was more neutral and provided relevant information. This was an article from
The Daily Pennsylvanian which provides more information on this mysterious Ann Lee who it turns out “runs a college preparatory tutoring center in Arcadia, Calif.” This article also specifies the authors of the study “Thomas J. Espenshade, Chang Y. Chung and Joan L. Walling” and provides more details about their research by way of a description and a, unfortunately broken, link to the actual research.

Turns out, the actual study concludes the exact opposite of what Ann Lee’s powerpoint presentation concludes. In the “Princeton University Study” research, the authors reach three conclusions:

1) Colleges provide lots of preferences that benefit certain students and not others including legacy admissions; despite this,

2) affirmative action in admissions processes that only serve to benefit Black and Hispanic minorities, regardless of SAT scores, are the only ones that are surrounded in controversy; and


3) without these preferences for Blacks and Hispanics (because of the ways in which racial and socio-economic disparities intersect in the country at large), members of these groups would be disproportionately unable to be admitted to elite universities.

What the article actually says is:

"It is possible to convert the magnitude of these preferences to a common SAT metric. The bonus for African-American applicants is roughly equivalent to an extra 230 SAT points (on a 1600-point scale), to 185 points for Hispanics, 200 points for athletes, and 160 points for children of alumni. The Asian disadvantage is comparable to a loss of 50 SAT points."p. 1431

Where is the confusion between this research and Ann Lee’s powerpoint about the research? Ann Lee, the author of the LA Times article, and all those who cite that article and discuss Lee’s presentation misinterpret the study and assert some version of the following related to SAT scores:

"African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says…. “Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.”

The disparity between the powerpoint presentation and the research is that there is no bonus points on the SAT but instead there are a combination of considerations that go into decision making to accept any person that applies to a college, one of which is the SAT.

So, no, minorities do not earn bonus points on the SAT.

Think of it this way. In decision making for entrance into college a student may submit SAT scores, demographic information, references, past experience relevant to academics, high school GPA, an essay or two, may get interviewed, and so forth. The reason all of these are required is because colleges, as they should, identify that a student is more than a single test score. The study shows that if all that mattered for Black and Hispanic minorities was the SAT, they would be disadvantaged in trying to get into elite colleges. That is in part because of the advantage that other groups have outside of their SAT scores (legacies for example) and from birth (high socio-economic status). But the reasons that other considerations are in place is because all students are more than their SAT scores. And all students should be given considerations, and are, that allow college admissions processes to balance out things that are out of the students’ control (from socio-economic status to having a bad day when you took the exam, to being a terrible test taker) to those that are more in the student’s control (personal essay, high school gpa, etc.) to demonstrate that student’s fit for the school.

In short, your consistent whining over 230 points is based on fake news and the 230 points do not exist.

We will get reparations, but since I retired at 52, which was 6 years ago, it is apparent that I don't need a reparations check.

followed by obfuscation that amounted to nothing more than distinction without a difference. Notice the word "preference" ? ….and "bonus"?

You actually corroborated what I have been saying.
 
No you didn't. Arguing with me is futile for you because you don't have the intellect to match me. I've been able to argue and get things changed.

:auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: "Intellect?" You mean like your "master's" degree when you often cannot even use good grammar and syntax in a sentence? Moron, arguing is futile with you because no fact fazes your opinion. You have ONE agenda, one dogged opinion, NO MATTER WHAT. If I don't put more effort behind my posts to you it is only because your topic is a NON-ISSUE of no interest to me. And if you have argued and gotten anything changed, it is only because, like affirmative action, 2008 housing rules that caused the subprime meltdown and a hundred other concessions to Blacks, they all have been given to just SHUT YOU BLACKS THE HELL UP.

You never stop bitching, you never stop complaining ---- ---- if you actually ever went out and got a real job and had a successful life, you would have neither the time nor inclination to spend all day here bitching about your own race's laziness and stupidity. As far as intelligence, son, I skipped 7th grade, went through high school in 2.5 years at a private school and onto college on a scholarship. So, when I get idiots like you talking about intellect, I always ask them to answer me one question to prove it (it's really only a HIGH SCHOOL question!): Solve this, genius. It has two solutions. Name one or both ways that X can be expressed?

Because of the 243 years of white racial preferences.

. . . and the dirty little secret that IMKnot perpetually hides is that in the history of the planet, in every civilization, the native culture has ALWAYS favored ITSELF. And if America had been founded by sea-faring Blacks who fought off the British and defeated the Indians then brought in European slaves to make their economy viable, they would have DONE ALL THE EXACT SAME THINGS.

The only thing Whites are guilty of is human nature shared by every person on this planet. We created our own country which was intended to favor ourselves just as every other country, nation and civilization ever existed intrinsically benefits itself most and it is just TOO BAD we didn't break our backs to make it more fair sooner to a bunch of whining babies.

Is that because you threaten whites with a "smackdown" like you did with me yesterday?

Affirmative action was implemented with the express intent of helping black people succeed and you are actually trying to argue that it isn't what it is and has always been.

Your hatred of white people is so intense, you cannot acknowledge the truth.

Affirmative action is the very system that was put in place to try to address that, and is the reality of the lives people are actually leading in the here and now.

They cling to the past because they need a handy excuse for their own failure.


It is a horrible self-fulfilling prophecy blacks have placed upon themselves. Any of their personal failure is somebody else's fault, they are perpetual victims even if they are the aggressors in a situation, and they don't need to take any responsibility for their actions because they have a ready made excuse. This attitude guarantees their very failure, so generation after generation passes on the self-destructive attitudes.

Many blacks rise above this and become men. They not only teach their children how to succeed, but how to avail themselves to all the systems in place that give them a leg up. Sadly, far too many remain children, and so only pass on their hatred of whites and sense of victimhood.

No. What you were shown was that no such preference exists.

Irosie presented a valuable counter to your disingenuous whining. Your argument is based on a 1991 study of 1 Ivy League school. That study did not show the things you claim Furthermore your argument is based on a claim you assert about 12 colleges out of over 3,000 in the country. Even further there are over 1,000 colleges where SAT is optional. Your argument fails miserably. You only want to bitch about your perception of preferences but:

1) Colleges provide lots of preferences that benefit certain students and not others including legacy admissions.

Now go run along.

On October 24, 2013, the Kellogg Foundation sent out a press release about a report they had done entitled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity”. This was a study done by the Kellogg Foundation, using information it had studied and assessed from the Center for American Progress, National Urban League Policy Institute, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”

The Kellogg Foundation and Altarum Institute

In 2011, DEMOS did a study named “The Racial Wealth Gap, Why Policy Matters”, which discussed the racial wealth gap, the problems associated with it along with solutions and outcomes if the gap did not exist. In this study DEMOS determined that the racial wealth gap was primarily driven by policy decisions.

Policy decisions that has created damages that have not been fixed. Time for you stop believing Teflon history.

The Teflon Theory of American History says that anything that took place over 30 years ago is Ancient History. It has Absolutely No Effect on the present. Or not much. Unless it was something good like the light bulb or the Declaration of Independence. Therefore those who make a big deal of the bad stuff in the past, like slavery, are Living in the Past and need to Get Over It.

For example:

Jim Crow laws were overturned by the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore according to Teflon Theory the Jim Crow period is now Ancient History. It has Absolutely No Effect on how White Americans alive today think and act. None whatsoever. Or not much. So racism is pretty much dead.

Instead of Jim Crow’s effect slowly weakening over time like you would expect, Teflon Theory would have you suppose that it just disappeared like magic one afternoon sometime in the late 1960s. Even though many White Americans alive now were alive back in Jim Crow times. Even though many others were brought up and shaped by those who were alive back then: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, writers, film directors, television producers, news editors and so on.

Few sit on a mountain top to come up with their beliefs all on their own. Instead most people pretty much go along with what everyone else already believes with maybe a few twists here and there. Such beliefs come from the past.

So then why is Teflon Theory believed?

  • Because of how American history is taught:
    • American history is taught as dates and people and facts that have little to do with each other. Sometimes the Effects of the the Civil War or Industrialization are studied, for example, but not so for the evil stuff – like how slavery and genocide led to present-day White American wealth, power and racism.
    • American history as taught rarely comes up to the present day. History becomes something in the past, in a book, not something we live in right now.
  • Because of the needs of White American self-image:
    • White Americans want to think they are Basically Good and their society is Basically Just. Without Teflon Theory that becomes laughable since it flies in the face of history, common sense and human nature.
    • White Americans avoid honestly facing up to their past because deep down they know it is ugly. Teflon Theory acts as a guard against having to take it seriously.
  • Because middle-class whites are protected from the ugly present:
    • Those who live in Apple-pie America rarely see first-hand the injustice that their comfortable lives are built on. And what injustice they do see on occasion, like black ghettos or wars on television fought overseas in their name, they have already learned to not see as injustice. But being protected from the ugly present makes the ugly past seem like another world, like it truly is ancient history with no bearing on the present.
 
No you didn't. Arguing with me is futile for you because you don't have the intellect to match me. I've been able to argue and get things changed.

:auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: "Intellect?" You mean like your "master's" degree when you often cannot even use good grammar and syntax in a sentence? Moron, arguing is futile with you because no fact fazes your opinion. You have ONE agenda, one dogged opinion, NO MATTER WHAT. If I don't put more effort behind my posts to you it is only because your topic is a NON-ISSUE of no interest to me. And if you have argued and gotten anything changed, it is only because, like affirmative action, 2008 housing rules that caused the subprime meltdown and a hundred other concessions to Blacks, they all have been given to just SHUT YOU BLACKS THE HELL UP.

You never stop bitching, you never stop complaining ---- ---- if you actually ever went out and got a real job and had a successful life, you would have neither the time nor inclination to spend all day here bitching about your own race's laziness and stupidity. As far as intelligence, son, I skipped 7th grade, went through high school in 2.5 years at a private school and onto college on a scholarship. So, when I get idiots like you talking about intellect, I always ask them to answer me one question to prove it (it's really only a HIGH SCHOOL question!): Solve this, genius. It has two solutions. Name one or both ways that X can be expressed?

You believe a bunch of stuff that has not happened. A classic case of psychosis.
 
Majority Of White Americans Say They Believe Whites Face Discrimination

A majority of whites say discrimination against them exists in America today, according to a poll released Tuesday from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

White and discriminated against?

Ask Hershman whether there is discrimination against whites, and he answered even before this reporter could finish the question — with an emphatic "Absolutely."

"It's been going on for decades, and it's been getting worse for whites," Hershman contended, despite data showing whites continue to be better off financially and educationally than minority groups.

Even though Hershman believes he has been a victim of anti-white discrimination, he wasn't able to provide a specific example. He describes losing out on a promotion — and a younger African-American being selected as one of the finalists for the job. But the position eventually went to a white applicant, who was also younger than Hershman.
