Students have decided that it’s the rich people causing the problems and that their kids are stealing other people’s spots. So once rich people are out of the whole higher education system then the less fortunate can run it how they see fit. I think that’s exactly what will happen.

That fact black people got in trouble if they knew how to read during slavery, we did not receive the same education that white Americans had. We weren’t even considered a full human being. So of course white privileged people will test better. That does not mean we can’t do the same jobs and excel in the same fields as whites. We were set up to fail and be behind in education. Affirmative action levels the playing field

@superiorsoundsmusic5389 10 месяцев назад

Lmao test scores does not mean they were the best person for the job for example social/community understanding is important, if they were staffing in a community with more black patients it would make sense to hire more black people. Also the black person could’ve had more experience working in hands-on situations that outweigh the white person. I myself got into my masters program not because I had the best grades, but because I worked 2 to 3 jobs as an undergrad and gained a lot of practical experience that outweighed the grades. Looking at race just means that they might not have the best grades because of the conditions that our society forced them to be in that makes them have to work two or three jobs to get by, instead of someone who had not and have more time to focus on their grades. And there are plenty more examples but who cares lol

@teamamerica5987 10 месяцев назад

I get his point as well and agree to an extent. I would argue that affirmative action was the reparation that you see lunatic leftists clamoring for now. Affirmative Action was initially titled "compensatory justice." Designed to elevate and bring more Black Americans into the middle class. That being said, I disagree with his reasoning on disparities persisting in the present. He is assigning that to bigotry, which could not be further from reality. The success of other non whites in this country is irrefutable proof of that.

Amazing that sports is the great equalizer, but in schools and jobs is a different story, bcz MUST people get the “HOOKUP!”

I heard that Asian Americans needed 273 point higher than other ethnic group to be considered at top Universities. I think that Asian Americans value education and family more than other ethnic groups. So they do well. Their parents sacrificed to pay for school and now after a few generations, they are doing well. If I had to pick a Doctor, I want one who succeeded based on merit and hard work. Certain professions need a lot of knowledge and the processing of this knowledge to have a good outcome. If we are talking about Medicine, Engineering, Law, I want professionals who succeeded based on merit. Race should not play a part at all. Merit only.

I recognize that you often don't receive the recognition you deserve for taking such a strong stance. To be honest, there have been times when I doubted where you stood, although my opinion may be insignificant to you. However, I believe I represent many people of color who watch and listen to your words. Contrary to what white Americans may believe, they are not the silent majority. Now, coming back to my main point, I am elated that you didn't align yourself with figures like Candace Owens or Larry Elders. You stood your ground and eloquently spoke the truth based on our shared experiences, leaving Fox News unable to refute your position. It was an absolute pleasure to witness. White Americans expect us to trust their intentions, conveniently ignoring our shared history. They prefer to pretend that those events are a thing of the past. But you, my brother, hit the nail on the head and I couldn't be prouder of you for doing so.
