<p>I think the thread started by "iamblack" is interesting. At my H.S., the average black student (real statistics) earned an ACT score of 19, whereas the average for whites was 27. This is why a black male with a 4.0 GPA, decent EC, and a 30 on the ACT is virtually guaranteed Harvard admission versus the white kid with the same credentials.</p>
<p>Woah, let's not start this again. Okay, please, no one respond to this at all. Period.</p>

<p>Are you related to William Shockley?</p>
<p>If anything, the Asians should be ranting, not the whitefolks.</p>
<p>Please, you're a newbie. This has been discussed before and does not need to be rediscussed as it only fosters bad will.</p>
<p>Amen logistics</p>
<p>Are you trying to say that black students are less capable than white students?</p>
<p>I don't buy that.</p>
<p>I think blacks, whites, (and anyone else,) when put in the same environment, has an equal opportunity to succeed. Now, these statistics would sound correct if you were say, comparing a black student at an inner-city public school to a white student at a distinguished preperatory program.</p>

<p>This is why affirmative action should stop. When people don't want to talk about it, it just propves how bad the problem is. People like Jesse jackson have made it hard to discuss things like this because feel uncomfortable..</p>
<p>If you want to go talk about it, go find the million other threads on this subject. It has been debated to death already. The same arguments are getting really old.</p>
<p>Jesse Jackson's a left-wing nutjob anti-semite who wants Israel blown off the map.</p>
<p>But that's another story.</p>
<p>Asian Indians should have the upper hand...</p>
<p>I think that people named Christine (like me) should have the upper hand. We need affirmative action for people named Christine.</p>

<p>(Seriously, this topic has been beaten to death a million times over. Let's not start again. :P)</p>
