What only thing that reinforces the "perception" of the inferiority of an entire race of people are willfully ignorant, uneducated bigots like you who do not really understand programs like affirmative action, and are looking for a crutch to justify their personal failures and lack of value to society.
The demographic that has benefitted the most from AA are white females.
Period.
Jumping back in here, so let me ask you an honest question then, and lets see if you can give me an honest answer...
Does a persons skin color signal that a person is in need or rather is a good person who can be completely trusted as based upon their skin color in life ? All I keep seeing is this word
black and the word
white in referring to peoples color when trying to justify many things in this nation, and that is just wrong and is big time wrong now a days I think . The same goes for this AA in example of when think about it, and so should any of these things apply to a person purely based upon their
skin color in life ? You see among all peoples of any color in the world, you have the bad, and of course you have the good, so why would anyone use a persons
color as any justification for anything these days, and this when they are just as guilty of being bad just like any other can be also guilty of being bad in life ? I mean other than the usage of a persons character and good heart instead, I ask why does this color thing keep going on and on these days like it does ?
What I see is that the devil (bad spirit / evil one /influential one) who is among all peoples, and for whom can hide out in these idiot programs that are based upon someones skin color or a groups skin color is a bad bad thing. It allows the devil access to areas where as he or she shouldn't be allowed access to. The same goes for the usage of gender or other such idiocy that we see going on today, because that is no indicator of who that person is or who that person can be in life. It's time to abandon these foolish things, and begin to empower and lift up people based upon their good characters, and not upon their color and gender or other such non-sense as we keep trying to keep going in America today. It's over, the devil has taken enough advantage of these things already, and it's time to leave that ole Beelzebub behind, and that means in every group that he has taken refuge in. The government has been completely foolish over the years, and the destruction we see across America is a fine example of that foolishness. The only thing that should be tolerated in society is good people of any and all colors, and good character of any and all colors. Sympathy for the devil has got to end, and that means it's time to leave him without a host in which to ride in on his high horse on, and to fool people as he is being protected by an ignorant and outdated government.
"Honest answers" are often deemed as being such when the one asking the "questions" hears what they want to hear in response, and then when the question is answered as honestly as the one being asked for answers, it is often not what those asking wish to hear.
The truth is that current AA policies are based more on gender than race, if they were solely based on race with black people as the beneficiaries, there would be anarchy in the streets.
My advice to those who actually believe that blacks are being "unfairly rewarded" by AA, and are the demographic that has resulted in the displacement of massive numbers of whites in the workforce or the college classroom, would be to take some time and read, word by word the original legislation as well as the updates to the policy since it's inception.
If one does so, and also examines the numbers as to who has benefitted the most from AA, it will become glaringly obvious that there are NOT massive numbers of black Americans benefitting from AA at the expense of white Americans.
It is much more likely that if a white male is passed up for a coveted job or promotion, it was a white female, and not a black person who was selected in place of him.
Again with the white, black, female, male speak, but does these attributes tell us who these people are really ? No they don't, so why is their programs based upon these attributes that give no indication of who the person is as a character in life ?
I mean look at all the people who can qualify for things as based upon their intellect, and sadly that doesn't even tell us who the people are as to their character. This is why this nation is fooled so badly by those whom just because they had an attribute whether it be black, white, yellow, brown, red or even a female or male, intellectual or non-intellectual, there is still no way of knowing who these individual people are as based upon these attributes in which they have in this specific regard. That is why we got people like these serial killers who are highly intellectual, but yet they are killers who got away with it. You know why they got away with? It was because this nation idolizes intellectuals who are void of character is why. How about the black person who trashes his or her opportunities given them, and all because they didn't want the opportunities to begin with, and the same goes for the white person and etc. who does the same things in life ? The only thing I will agree with is equal pay for equal work, and also equal opportunity for all who apply themselves in the best ways they know how, along with having a trainable mind, and the skills or ability to be trained also to go along with ones attitude/good character in life. If a person has a great character in life and is a good person, then I think this nation should open it's arms wide for such people, and for the ones who want to be bad, well they get what they get, and that's just that until they choose otherwise in their life. There are a million success stories in America, and when we see programs that are working based upon the intellectual, superficial or outward attributes one might have, instead of what is truly working for good on the inside, then Houston we have a serious problem going on in this nation.

In a Utopian society your blueprint for opportunity leading to success would work very well, but the United States has never been a "functioning" model for that kind of society and never will be.
The very purpose of this thread initially was one of ill intent, by using the program of Affirmative Action as a platform in a maliciously ignorant and misinformed attempt to illustrate the inferiority of an entire race of people, when the fact is that those who were the intended target ARE NOT the most rewarded beneficiaries of the same program. That has been my point all along.
No one actually knows the true character of anyone including their own character until they are faced with a situation that provides an actual test of character. Case in point, the well meaning people who trusted Bernie Madeoff with their life savings undoubtedly believed that he was trustworthy until it became obvious that he had bilked people out of millions of dollars, the same with those who invested with Charles Keating. Examples of people who may have started out with good intentions of helping others but failed the character test when an opportunity for easy money presented itself.
People also believed in Hitler until he and his cronies began to emerge as executioners who believed that "cleansing" their society of Jews would create their own "Utopia".
When the Europeans landed on Plymouth Rock, the Natives believed that they were their friends as well, and look what eventually happened to them.
The world is full of history on every continent where corruption has ruled over the spirit of decency, then the corruption is wiped out, the reset button is pushed and then the same process restarts , and is repeated over and over, thus the saying, "history repeats itself".
The fact is that people will always sink to their lowest level if they are not held in check by certain guidelines and policies. All one has to do to realize that is to read some of outrageous postings of some of the nutjobs who visit this anonymous forum like the one who started this very thread.
A society where people are truly judged and enjoy sucess based on their character alone would absolutely be the best of all worlds, but we live in a society where character is a benchmark,but reality often dictates that success at the expense of any and all is the norm.
