<p>PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ, BECAUSE WE ARE JUST HEATEDLY BICKERING</p>
<p>Jesus Christ, Look this isnt a battle of who has it worse. At the end of the day we live in America. But even if Pol Pot was horrible, Hundreds of Thousands of people died almost overnight in Rwanda. Just please stop comparing race and race, stop trying to claim that a particular race has it hard. I dont personally agree with Affirmative Action, because it sets a lower standard for blacks and hispanics, which i feel insults our intrinsic capabilities. I simply dont care how any of you see the issue, becuase you will never see me. This shouldnt be a contest of who had it the hardest, but when people are claiming that blacks and hispanics are generally better off than Asians dont you think it deserves some reprimend. At the end of the day talking so much about a specific race is really bordering on racism. We should simply talk about the program, its faults, and possible solutions. I would say that if you are for it, than you like the idea of helping students who come from bad schools, bad struggles, and etc which detrementally affect their scholastics. If you are against it than you probably dont like how it gives certain people advantage over other more qualified individuals who where simply born white or asian. THAT IS IT. PLEASE LET US DEBATE ALONG THOSE LINES. The question should be is the good side of Affirmative Action overcompensate the bad side and is it the right solution to cure our educational problem. I suppose the only way to fix our problem is to invest more heavily in Inner City schools and have all those bad schools under direct federal control. We should enter the ghettos and barrios and setup programs to help children leave them. Also we should use race more in a sense of SOCIOECONMIC standard. I understand that a rich black guy doesnt deserve the boost, so we should use economic and overall family life as the criteria, and not race only.
But we have three problems. </p>
<p>What about the years of slavery, racism, segregation that put blacks in th situation we are in today. AT THE END OF THE DAY, BLACKS WERE PLACED HERE IN THE GHETTOS, SO DONT PLEASE DONT SAY THAT ASIANS PERSERVERED AND MOVED UP BECAUSE WE AS BLACKS WERR INSLAVED, SEGREGATED, WE HAD TO <strong><em>IN RIOT TO VOTE, TO EAT, TO DO EVERYTHING WE WANTED , WHERE ARE THE BLACK PRESIDENTS, SUPERMODELS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE. YOU SEE THIS ISSUE IS BEYOND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IT IS ALL THE *</em></strong>*** THAT BLACKS WENT THROUGH AND GO THROUGH, so in that sense i think the rich black kid with a 4.0 and 1600 deserves it more than the white kid with a 4.0 and 1600. </p>
<p>How should we save our schools, and promote minorities in college if we get rid of affirmative action, because whether your against it or not, it is the easiest way to fix the problem of under enrollment. BUT I ADMIT ITS A SMALL BANDAID ON A FATAL INJURY.</p>
<p>Third, do we still want to preferentially treat kids in different ways at all</p>
<p>AT THE END OF IT, PLEASE, LETS TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND ITS MERITS. BUT LETS END THE **** ABOUT RICH BLACKS, BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST USING EXCEPTIONS TO PROVE A SOCIAL PROGRAM WRONG, ITS NOT MATH YOU CANT PLUG IN ZERO TO DISPROVE SOMETHING. LETS STOP TALKING ABOUT THE STRUGGLE OF ASIANS, BECAUSE IM TIRED OF HEARING SOME EXTRAORDINARY STORY WHEN ON AVERAGE ASIANS ARE WELL OFF. THIS IS MY LAST POST, BECUASE UNLESS WE TALK ABOUT THE REAL ISSUES, HISTORIC RACISM, FIXING SCHOOLS, AND HOW DO WE INCREASE MINORITIES IN HIGHER POSITIONS. WE ARENT DOING *<strong><em>. I DONT CARE IF YOU QUESTION MY INTELLIGENCE FOR MY LAST POST, BUT REMEBER I WAS POOR AND BLACK AND I WILL TELL YOU THIS NO AMERICAN GOES THROUGH THE SAME STRUGGLE OF BLACKS AND HISPANICS IN THE GHETTOS. THATS THE REAL *</em></strong>IN STORY. this shouldnt be about who has it worse anyway because if you want to bring up history and *<strong><em>, all i have to say is that 7.5 million blacks were slaves, 1.2 million el salvadoreans are part of gangs, 100,000+ rwandans died almost over night, it was only 30 years ago that segregation was really ended, and schools like Ballou High in Southeast D.C. where Cedric Jennings came from are all the norm in EVERY *</em></strong>IN CITY IN AMERICA. Remeber THIS IS ABOUT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND NOT WHO DESERVES IT MORE, WHO HAS A HARDER STRUGGLE, OR WHATEVER. And its worthless to question me because you dont know me you have never seen my hustle, struggle, pain or anything. So lets debate about ways to fix a problem, ways to give reparations to blacks, ways to improve our schools, ways to help those that struggle to the top.</p>
<p>THE END</p>
