The First Affirmative Action Policy

[AZrailwhale]

In other words the more slaves you had the more votes you got?

No, the more seats in the House of Representatives and Electors in the Electoral College. The slave states didn't allow their property to vote just like the free states didn't allow non-citizen immigrants to vote.

I know they didn't let them vote. I thought if they counted them as 1/3 a human and you as a white slave owner had 3 slaves, then you got 2 votes.

I get it now. They wanted the bodies to give them more electoral votes even though only maybe 40,000 white men were voting.

Similar today some Republicans think only people who own property should vote or run for politics. But then who represents the people who are renting?

No it’s exactly like democrats flooding blue states with illegal aliens. They can’t legally vote, but they count towards representation in the House and Electoral College giving them more political power.

In 1787 only property owners could vote.

The op makes no sense

“The three-fifths compromise is part of the Constitution which appeased the Southern states by allowing a slave’s vote to only count as 3/5 of a vote”

Huh?

Slaves couldnt vote at all

/—-/ It meant in the census, slaves counted as 3/4 of a person when determining the number of congressmen from that state.

It meant that a whole human being counted for 3/5ths of a person.

 

[AZrailwhale]

And you apparently never went to college because sociology is the scientific and systematic study of human society that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. These are pretty good things to know.

You benefitted from AA too. Funny how some whites cannot see truth.

Sociology is the easiest major outside of physical education.

Only in relation to the House and Electoral College. The slave owners wanted their slaves to count as a full person. Chew on that one for a while.

Yup. If you look at the average IQs of various majors, sociology and elementary Ed are at the bottom.

Since IQ tests are proven to be inaccurate measures of intelligence, only idiots keep talking about them as if they mean something.

/—-/ Yes, for the census so slave states would have more representation in Congress. They wouldn’t want slaves to be counted as a whole person because that would undermine their rationale that slaves were subhuman.

Today Republicans think women are 3/4th of a person.

1. They need to be told what to do with their bodies and reproductive rights.

2. They should not be promoted at work because in 5 years they're going to want to have kids and quit. And when they are postmenopausal their only purpose in life should be raising grandkids.

JD Vance Agrees “the Postmenopausal Female” Exists to Raise Grandchildren​

The average age for a CEO across industries is 59. CEOs are the oldest on average of any other C-suite role. The financial services industry has the oldest average CEO age at 60, and the technology and energy sectors have the youngest CEOs at an average age of 57.

No wonder conservative male CEO's never hire a women to replace them.

Unless you think cat ladies should be CEO's.

/----/ "Today Republicans think women are 3/4th of a person."
Oh, I can post hyperbole as well as you can.
Today, democRATs think, straight, white men are 3/4th of a person. And, transgenders are 1 1/4 of a person.
See how that works?

Oh us poor straight white males. Especially the poorly educated, which Don loves.

American capitalism is failing Trump's base as white working-class 'deaths of despair' rise​

The astronomical costs of health care are draining jobs, hope and opportunity from working-class Americans.

/—-/ Thank democRATs. They created this nightmare.

 

[IM2]

Are you trying to say that the slaves should have counted as full people for the allotment of Representatives (which would have made slaves states more politically powerful) or that they should have counted as just property?

I'm saying that slavery should have been ended at the constitutional convention.

Stop whining. Because white males are overrepresented in every categry of employment relative to their popuation with the exception of players on the football field or basketball court. And even then, whites control every other aspect of those businsses. Name the black commissioner of the NCAA, NBA and NFL.

Stop trying to justify this shit white man. The OP understand that the compromise never should have been made. That's what YOU don't understand. That compromise was the first Affirmative Action Policy for the US as a nation. As a colony there were several.

Once again you reveal your ignorance. Throw away the the compromise and what happens?

 

[JustAGuy1]

Why do you keep posting the same lies? I've debunked your slanted posts on the subject at least a dozen times. The Three Fifths Compromise had NOTHING to do with affirmative action. It was all about political power for the slave states. The slave states wanted ALL of their human property that had no rights counted in the census so they would have more legislative seats and more votes in the Electoral College. The free states didn't want slaves counted at all since they were considered property by their owners in the South with no rights. The South won and cemented their control of the nation for nearly eighty years until immigration overturned the advantage the number of slaves gave them.

Absolutely correct.

 

[JustAGuy1]

Take away the compromise and there is no Constitution.
Give in to the South and they make all the rules.
