That is exactly what we need but don't get. That is why AA is still necessary. When we get what you suggested then maybe we can desolve AA.

OK, how is Affirmative Action moving us closer by further dividing us?

Dividing us? It is integrating us...

How does further separating people, and further degrading African Americans, by making them appear to need additional help and being unable to stand on thier own merits, integrate us?

Why are so many African Americans opposed to Affirmative Action if it is integrating us so well?

  • Interesting how the Chinese, Middle Easterners, Mexicans (legal and illegal), Vietnamese, etc., migrate to this country and do quite well. They get off their lazy butts and make things work for them. I guess Blacks are just different . . . not! We need to eliminate social programs and organizations like the NAACP that handicap their own people and let people prosper on their own. Racism exists everywhere, more so amongst minorities than anywhere else. People can get off their lazy butts or starve. Parasitic members of the community are not needed, be they Black, Brown, Yellow, White or whatever.

Well, I wouldn't go talking bad about the NAACP. They've done a TON to help black & white equality throughout the history United States.

This isn't to say I support AA though, I think it's ridiculous.

Affirmative Blacktion is nothing more than racism against white people. And lets face it, we built this country, we are what made it great. If we are more successful it is because we work harder.

I would imagine so, judging by his Kool Kids Klub icon.
