Well Well Well..Hmmm Its been almost two months ago
that I posted the post above this one. However here I
am again on the same subject.

Three weeks ago I received a invite from The Eric Digest
to attend a Conference on Affirmative Action, and this
past weekend I attended the conference in Columbia
South Carolina the two days was very interesting.

The theme was Affirmative Rhetoric, Negative Action,
and it talked about African Americans and Hispanic
faculty at Predominantly White college Institutions,
(Education). The reason that the conference was
organized was to analysis the affirmative action theory,
and practice for African-American and Hispanic faculty
in a predominantly white,four year institutions of higher
education.

It also examined the history of Affirmative Action,
supply and demand issues,institutional approaches
to affirmation action, factors outside of the academy
that affect faculty employment, and case studies of
effective practices or new initiatives.

There was many Critics and Advocates of affirmative
action that focused on similar issues with debates.
Both groups often assumed that affirmative action has
led to a significant increases in the number of minority
faculty at predominatly white instutitions, but this is
NOT the case, and both groups also cite the threat
of federal action as a result of affirmative action failure.

In closing the entire conference floor was presented
with the following three main questions to bare in mind.
(1): Is Affirmative Action really Necessary? (2): What
can be done to increase Employment Opportunities for
Afirican-Americans and Hispanic Faculty? (3): Why
Haven't More Progress been made towards finding a
Solution to deal with Affirmative Action?, and (4): How
Does Affirmative Action affects the Legal Profession?

As time goes on I will touch basics whenever necessary
from the 30 pages of notes that I wrote after hearing
comments from ALL race groups. I think that the 4 questions
is interesting.

I'll be 60 soon and have seen alot in this society. AA had its place but it is time to move on. Of course racism will always be with us, that is a given. But in my mind with racism present to whatever extent our country finds humor in it amonst other things. Depending on your definition of it I am a racist because I believe we are different and we like different things so I go my way and all other races go theirs. I treat all the the same repsect but prefer the company of my own race simply because we have more in common starting with our childhoods. I socialize with many races but when I look at them I don't see white people and to the nuts out there that is racism. Fine so be it.

You are very welcome. Glad that you shared it with me.

Nope. Such discrimination for any reason relating to race or sex is wrong.

WOW!!! It has risen from the dead.

No, it is patently unfair. We owe nothing to the black community or other minority communities and the value of the person should rest solely on that person's attributes, not the color of his/her skin or his/her racial heritage.

Nope, in a capitalist society the person who works the hardest and smartest should reap the rewards. Rewarding someone for skin color, ethnicity, or religion is bigotry. AA is reverse discrimination that undermines the entire system of capitolism. If all men are created equal then that truth should hold itself to be self evident. Subscribing to the ideal of AA is like conceding that some races are inferior to others and that they need special treatment to be competitive. The fact that anyone can go to public school, try hard, do well, and get a free ride through college means that this shouldnt be necessary. It is 40 years after the civil rights movement, the only thing holding black people down are drugs,lack of education,christianity and the bs ideal that anyone is ever going to help them if they don't help themselves.
