I used to be a rep, that's true.
Wars started by a (D); WW1, WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Bay of Pigs, Somalia, Yemen, Lybia.
By (R); Iraq and Iraq
Must suck to be so fucking wrong.
How am I wrong? I realize that Dems are warmongering whores and never hid behind this fact, but that doesn't stop Republicans from fabricating wars.
You are a lowlife who validates one party based on the atrocities of another. You are a sick and disturbing human being.
I am still waiting for you to us AA to validate slavery, you dumb fucking melon.
You are one royally fucked up libtard.
"I am still waiting for you to us AA to validate slavery, you dumb fucking melon."
I will repeat, once more; I did not do as you claim, YOU assumed that.
I never mentioned slavery, YOU did.
I never made any such comparison, YOU assumed I did.
I will leave you to your melting, and mark you as a homophob and a possible racist.
Why is 44 years of Affirmative Action equal to 188 years of slavery, Jim Crow and government-sanctioned institutionalized racism?
Was Jim Crow meant to be separate, but equal?
Your right.. I think the Democrat party should pay for what they did. Write Obama a letter of outrage, tell him you think his party should pay reparations to people still living who were was affected by what his party did to African Americans
Do you know what the Compromise of 1877 was and who made the deal?
despite great strides in admitting more black students, many civil rights leaders and scholars contend the success of affirmative action is little more than skin deep. Yes, they say, more black students attend elite universities -- but who exactly are they?
As reported recently in the New York Times, a high percentage of undergraduate black students at top universities are West Indian and African immigrants or their children or, to a lesser extent, children of biracial couples. In the case of Harvard University, only about a third of the black students are the descendants of African-American slaves, born into families hobbled by generations of segregation and racism.
"If people think the current registration of African Americans in elite colleges is somehow addressing past wrongs, that's not entirely true," Princeton sociologist Douglas S. Massey said. "We should be debating and talking about this and coming up with some kind of seat-of-the-pants policy, rather than deceiving ourselves."
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "Universities have to give weight to the African-American experience because that is for whom affirmative action was aimed in the first place. That intent must be honored."
Most universities, including Northwestern and the University of Chicago, don't keep tabs on the origins of their black students. But Massey, who is studying the achievements of black students at 28 colleges and universities, found that 41 percent of these black students were immigrants, children of immigrants or biracial.
'Successful, smart people'
This curious makeup of the black student population at top universities has been discussed quietly on campuses for years, but became public only earlier this year when Harvard law professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. raised the issue bluntly at a reunion of Harvard University's black alumni.
Before then, academics tended to skirt the issue, in part because there is no agreement on the proper goals of affirmative action and in part because criticism might be misconstrued as an attack on immigrants.
"I think all the elite institutions need to be more open and straightforward about what we are seeking to achieve," said Kenneth Warren, professor of English and co- director of African and African American studies at the University of Chicago. "Affirmative action has multiple goals, and I don't think that's stressed enough."
Why bless your heart... How long were you a slave?
Jim Crow and government-sanctioned institutionalized racism?
Yes they were and you know what? There is not a damned thing either you or I can do to change that. What's done is done and we can only change the future. Right now, the main things holding black people back in this country are other black people. The opportunities are there for those that are willing to utilize the resources placed in front of them.
Continuing AA for another 144 years is what you do.
Individual blacks are holding themselves back, it has nothing to do with other blacks.
AA is a resource placed in front of them.
Individual black people are holding themselves back, aided and abetted by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the legions of others that make excuses for them and provide the means for people to not have to be responsible for themselves. Do you really think that over 75% of black children would be born to single mothers if the government weren't making it financially more attractive to not marry? Do you think that more young black men might get hired if someone was honest with them and told them that if you're too stupid to know how to pull up your own pants, why do you think anyone would want you to be the face of their business? Society allows the self destructive behavior for fear of being called racist or negative about "black culture". It's a sad commentary that the greatest danger to a young black man is another young black man.
why didn't blacks from Africa come over and free them ???Why is 44 years of Affirmative Action equal to 188 years of slavery, Jim Crow and government-sanctioned institutionalized racism?

So, you aren't satisfied with changes, just with getting even? Were you a slave? I was never a slave or a slave owner, but you think I owe somebody something and that we need to have reverse discrimination for 188 years?
Did Jim Crow and government-sanctioned institutionalized racism end in 1865?
Blacks weren't discriminated against after 1865?

No, it didn't. Mainly because Democrats went from fighting against ending slavery to using black people for political gain. They set out to create a class of government dependents, which destroyed black families. The more Democrats help, the worse the problem gets. Now we see deliberate attempts at race baiting that further divides and deepens racial tensions. Liberals have done this for years to ensure people stay divided into groups rather than all being equal. They make special laws, like affirmative action, which is their way of saying that blacks aren't smart enough to make it on their own and they teach them that all whites hate them and only the government cares. I will look for some links to articles, written by some of the most brilliant writers on earth (who happen to be black) about how the left has kept blacks down.
Then people sum up the failings of the entire black community on Rappers, Sharpton, Jackson and the NAACP. Completely ignoring all the time we were told to "get over it" and the repercussions of those decisions.

Affirmative action was not meant to make up for, in length of time, for the above mentioned travesties. It was meant to correct and make fair the playing field to provide for racial equality.
It now teeters on the brink of creating racial bias against qualified candidates for certain jobs; universities; and military service.
