Will White Privilege End Affirmative Action?

Sooner or later we have to put an end to affirmative action.
It’s on the docket for the SCOTUS, and the new black affirmative action justice has already said she’d recuse herself due to her obvious conflict of interest.

I have said that two generations are enough. If Jews can flee Hitler and one generation later have all their kids graduate from college, then blacks could as well, If there’s a subclass of blacks pulling up the rear and not able to pull themselves out of poverty despite the favoritism of affirmative action, then it’s time to look at what they themselves are doing wrong.*

Hitler wasn't in this country, and wasn't around for 400 years.

This Harvard issue isn't about "Graduation", it's about admission. And when you say "less qualified" blacks, you admit they are "qualified".

Here's the thing. Whatever SCOTUS decides, Harvard will just find another way to favor blacks.

A university requires a high school senior to have a GPA of at least 2.0:

Black high school senior has a 2.2 GPA, no extra-curricular activities and a dubious attendance record.

White high school senior has a 3.8 GPA, a perfect attendance record, and is student body president and class Valedictorian.

Admitting the black high school student into a college instead of the white high school student is pure racism...

Oh lookie….the antisemite is speaking again. Goodbye.

Yup, I’ve seen it time and time again….although not QUITE as extreme as your example. It’s usually the black has 3.2 and gets in, and the white has 3.8 and gets rejected (to make way for the lower-scoring black.)

And so what? the white kid with the 3.8 will find a different college that would be MORE than happy to take him and won't charge him enough tuition to keep him in debt for the rest of his life.

The real problem is we've allowed these "elite" schools to have all this influence that they don't deserve. When we try to make sure they aren't perpetuating white privilege by requiring them to admit kids of color, that's actually fine.

No, what you have seen is a bunch of white females getting accepted into college because of the policy. That's why you have that job. Whites are getting passed over like you guys claim.

Bitch, white women like you have been the most favored. Shut your ignorant racist ass up.

“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.” -Sally Kohn

The National Womens Law Center did a study on Affirmatives Action and found that: “Women of color have lagged particularly far behind in both employment and education. For example, in 1998, the median weekly salary for Black women was $400 compared to $468 for white women and $615 for white men. Hispanic women earned a median weekly income of only $337. Even in sectors where women have made inroads into management, minority women continue to be underrepresented. In the banking industry, only 2.6% of executive, managerial and administrative jobs were held by Black women, and 5% by Hispanic women, compared to 37.6% by white women. In the hospital industry, Black and Hispanic women each held 4.6% of these jobs, while white women held 50.2%. At the top, women of color represented only 11.2% of all corporate officers in Fortune 500 companies. Women of color also earn fewer college degrees than white women. In 1997, white women made up 39% of college undergraduates and 42% of graduate students; minority women were only 16% of undergraduates and 10% of graduate students.”

Tim Wise had a paper published in the National Women’s Studies Association Journal in the fall of 1998 titled, “Is Sisterhood Conditional?: White Women and the Rollback of Affirmative Action.” His paper was about the reluctance of some white women to advocate for Affirmative Action despites the gains white women had achieved from the policy over the 30 years at that time, due to the policy.

“Thanks in large measure to affirmative action and civil rights protections that opened up previously restricted opportunities to women of all colors, from 1972-1993:
  • The percentage of women architects increased from 3% to nearly 19% of the total;
  • The percentage of women doctors more than doubled from 10% to 22% of all doctors;
  • The percentage of women lawyers grew from 4% to 23% of the national total;
  • The percentage of female engineers went from less than 1% to nearly 9%;
  • The percentage of female chemists grew from 10% to 30% of all chemists; and,
  • The percentage of female college faculty went from 28% to 42% of all faculty.
Furthermore, since only 1983, the percentage of women business managers and professionals grew from 41% of all such persons, to 48%, while the number of female police officers more than doubled, from 6% to 13% (U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census 1995, Table 649). According to a 1995 study, there are at least six million women — the overwhelming majority of them white — who simply wouldn’t have the jobs they have today, but for the inroads made by affirmative action (Cose 1997, 171). -Tim Wise
 
I am on record saying that whites are still getting preferences while others are denied. That I'm not responsible crap doesn't play here.
If someone isn’t responsible you can’t make it so just by thinking it
 
I think whites like you really need to STFU about crutches when you guys have been riding in motorized wheelchairs with as much as whites have been given.

Learn to read because you're posting on the same cheesy poli board son.

“Using publicly released reports, we examine the preferences Harvard gives for recruited athletes, legacies, those on the dean’s interest list, and children of faculty and staff (ALDCs). Among white admits, over 43% are ALDC. Among admits who are African American, Asian American, and Hispanic, the share is less than 16% each.

Our model of admissions shows that roughly three quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected if they had been treated as white non-ALDCs.

Removing preferences for athletes and legacies would significantly alter the racial distribution of admitted students, with the share of white admits falling and all other groups rising or remaining unchanged.”
Since most white people have not, do not and never will attend Harvard, what else you got? What are whites given that you aren’t?
 
Um, in that case, yes, he was working off incorrect information. The South was not arming slaves to fight the North. They were conscripting slaves to do service support roles.
 
"They" fought to preserve slavery...an institution that Frederick Douglas sought to end.

As far as George Wallace, he promoted Jim Crow segregation.

When he ended up paralyzed and in a wheelchair, he suddenly ended up "loving" Black people.

And some were actually stupid enough to forgive him for his past sentiments.

And exactly how does one have "content" for American citizens?

I'm an American citizen and no one has "content" for me.

Malcolm X wanted all white people dead but later had a change of heart.

Malcolm X never stated that he wanted "ALL white people dead".

Prior to his "change of heart", he advocated for seperation, not a race war.

He was also an advocate for black citizens DEFENDING themselves by any means necessary if attacked, instead of being passive, like MLK.

Molly is ignorant. Even as King progressed, he talked about blacks defending themselves.

Molly needs to look at what whites do to create the problem. Instead she's like this:

"Self-defined victimhood is a psychological state whereby, regardless of the etiology of the feeling or the truth of the matter, one who perceives herself to be a victim is a victim. The perception of being wronged is victimhood. We are not concerned with the truth of one’s victimhood. As such, concepts like intent to harm or genuine unfairness do not bear on self-defined victimhood. One must merely think of oneself in such terms, or behave in such a way, to be a victim."
