I am so Sick of Hearing Racists Tell Their Lies

[JimBowie1958]

I know four black professionals who are among the most intelligent people I have ever met. Race is an artificial construct unsupported by science.

But white and oriental liberals (admitted or close enough) keep confiding their bullshit racist opinions with me. They think because I am a southerner and they think me conservative (only by comparison to pop culture of today) therefore I must be a closet racist.

I have sometimes fantasized repeating the things told me, but I am not a narc and I'm not going to betray confidences, even if reprehensible.

All I can do is move on, but it still sickens me to hear the shit.

If race doesn't exist how do you liberals justify affirmative action?

1. I am not a liberal.

2. I am opposed to Affirmative action's use of quotas of any kind. It should only be in the form of targeted financial and social assistance, IMO.

Ignorance resides in all 50 states. Not specifically in one race either.

I think weak white people who make racism an issue are the ones who empower racist blacks and the two end up feeding off of each other. I don't condone racism, but I don't obsess over it either.

Race exists, no one sane has suggested it doesn't. Affirmative Action is a remedy for institutional racism. [are you brain dead?]

Oh no - lots of people say race doesn't exist. And yet they support AA!!!!

AA is not a remedy for anything. It is the govt mandated persecution of white people and the biggest hate crime in america. THINK

Race is a pseudo-scientific construct and is no more valid than astrology or numerology.

Affirmative Action is a remedy for institutional racism. [are you brain dead?]

AA that uses quotas to determine if there remains institutional racism is unjust, and has the opposite effect desired as it turns a lot of white people into racists.

Targeted relief does not require quotas, dude.

Not really, some racist African Americans are keenly aware that when race ceases to be an issue things like affirmative action must be curtailed, it's why there will always be racists on both sides of the fence and as I said, they will continue to feed off of each other. If you want to place yourself on a pedestal as a white champion for African American Rights, more power to you. But when you've spent as much time in African American neighborhoods, and have known as many African Americans as I have you will realize they are probably laughing at you for being so naive. Racism will never cease to exist because America stupidly chose to attach feel good handouts like affirmative action to it, and racist African American leaders know they must keep the illusion of racism, or lose the goodies. Sadly... It is that simple.

No it's not. The "face" of Affirmative Action is not specifically black. That is a myth and a talking point which is used as a tool to further the divide between the masses.

Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone
Their successes make the case not for abandoning affirmative action but for continuing it

In the coming days, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule in a potentially landmark case on the constitutionality of affirmative action. The original lawsuit was filed on behalf of Abigail Fisher, a woman who claims that she was denied admission to the University of Texas because she is white. But study after study shows that affirmative action helps white women as much or even more than it helps men and women of color. Ironically, Fisher is exactly the kind of person affirmative action helps the most in America today.

Originally, women weren’t even included in legislation attempting to level the playing field in education and employment. The first affirmative-action measure in America was an executive order signed by President Kennedy in 1961 requiring that federal contractors “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.”

In 1967, President Johnson amended this, and a subsequent measure included sex, recognizing that women also faced many discriminatory barriers and hurdles to equal opportunity. Meanwhile, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 only included sex in the list of prohibited forms of discrimination because conservative opponents of the legislation hoped that including it would sway moderate members of Congress to withdraw their support for the bill. Still, in a nation where white women and black people were once considered property — not allowed to own property themselves and not allowed to vote — it was clear to all those who were seeking fairness and opportunity that both groups faced monumental obstacles.

While people of color, individually and as groups, have been helped by affirmative action in the subsequent years, data and studies suggest women — white women in particular —*have benefited disproportionately. According to one study, in 1995, 6 million women, the majority of whom were white, had jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise held but for affirmative action.

Another study shows that women made greater gains in employment at companies that do business with the federal government, which are therefore subject to federal affirmative-action requirements, than in other companies — with female employment rising 15.2% at federal contractors but only 2.2% elsewhere. And the women working for federal-contractor companies also held higher positions and were paid better.

Even in the private sector, the advancements of white women eclipse those of people of color. After IBM established its own affirmative-action program, the numbers of women in management positions more than tripled in less than 10 years. Data from subsequent years show that the number of executives of color at IBM also grew, but not nearly at the same rate.

The successes of white women make a case not for abandoning affirmative action but for continuing it. As the numbers in the Senate and the Fortune 500 show, women still face barriers to equal participation in leadership roles. Of course, the case for continuing affirmative action for people of color is even greater.*The*median wealth*of white households is 20 times that of black households.*Researchers found*that the same résumé for the same job application will get twice as many callbacks for interviews if the name on the*résumé is Greg instead of Jamal. School districts*spend more*on predominantly white schools than predominantly black schools. The fact that black workers earn, on average,*35% less*than white workers in the same job isn’t erased by the election of an African-American President — one who, by the way, openly praises the role of affirmative action in his life and accomplishments.

As for Fisher, there is ample evidence that she*just wasn’t qualified to get into the University of Texas. After all, her grades weren’t that great, and the year she applied for the university, admissions there were actually more competitive than Harvard’s. In its court filings, the university has pointed out that even if Fisher received a point for race, she still wouldn’t have met the threshold for admissions. Yes, it is true that in the same year, the University of Texas made exceptions and admitted some students with lower grades and test scores than Fisher. Five of those students were black or Latino. Forty-two were white.
