Not true at all...</p>
<p>Where does that keep coming from?!</p>
<p>"Most of the blacks at top schools (80%) are upper middle class students."</p>
<p>Show statistics and the points on this thread just keeps contradicting each other</p>
<p>One minute someone says most blacks at elite colleges are on financial aid. Then the next minute, someone else says that "Oh, 80% of blacks at elite schools are upper middle class"</p>
<p>Like, why can't we stop confusing ourselves & stick to one thing</p>
<p>"Africans are poor because they are for the most part unmotivated in school and the work force. "</p>
<p>What!?!?! Are you really serious? Thats not why they are poor my friend! They are poor simply because of a lack of money and adequate resources! Meaning, their economic status' are not up to par. Therefore, their resources would not be up to par also. Please don't argue because I'm Nigerian and though I'm not poor, I know people who are and how they ended up in that state.</p>
<p>"promicious"</p>
<p>collegehopeful:::* you mean "promiscuous"?</p>
<p>"They are poor simply because of a lack of money and adequate resources! Meaning their economic status' are not up to par. Therefore, their resources would not be up to par."</p>
<p>Sorry, but, LMAO xD.</p>
<p>LOL^ Ok fine, I can see why you laughed but ist true! Forgive me Lord for laughing too.</p>
<p>
This is not true as well...</p>
<p>Its also very stereotypical^.</p>
<p>Statically, there are more births to unmarried black women, 68.8% of all births for blacks and 30.5% for whites in '04 (15.5% for Asians, 46.4% Latinos, 62.3 Native Americans). Though that doesn't necessarily mean more promiscuous, less knowledgeable perhaps.</p>
<p>Or they can't afford abortions/effective birth control...</p>
<p>hotpiece, abortions are considered blasphemy anyway but to charisma, promiscuoity doesn't have to a bad thing in some way</p>
<p>.... What?</p>
<p>So Authentic, what are you talking about? Abortions may be considered blasphemy to you, but to a sizable number of people they are not. And how is promiscuity not a bad thing?</p>
<p>The word promiscuous has a negative connotation, so it generally refers to "bad" qualities.</p>
<p>"That is because they as a race are more promicious and have sex before marriage"</p>
<p>-Well, I do know that more Black high school children have had sex than white... something like 61% to 43%.</p>
<p>hotpiece, ok, I wasn't clear. To the general public, abortions are considered blasphemous solely because its considered murder which socety deters (according to their GOD)! Yeah never mind with the Promiscuoity thing. Lets not get off topic though</p>
<p>^But that's not entirely true. A good part (like half) of the country is pro-choice, i.e. they don't necessarily consider abortion blasphemy.</p>
<p>Where are you getting this stuff So Authentic? lol</p>
<p>Ok, wow, what happened here lol. </p>
<p>The correlation between african americans and teenage births is a result of the correlation between african americans and being poor. Poor people are more likely to have teenage births and african americans are more likely to be poor. </p>
<p>The reason why considering only socioeconomics wouldn't help the fact that african americans are so far behind economically is because it works to help the issue of all poor people, not the fact that black people are significantly poorer. Socioeconomic AA does not resolve the problem that AA hopes to solve. </p>
<p>fabrizio, if a university could justify that having a school that prefers to make sure white students are well represented, it wouldn't be racist at all. But if it said that it wants white people to always make up 90% of the school it would be because at that point you're simply trying to keep other races out. The same would be true if a school always made sure 30% of its student body was black, it couldn't justify that. </p>
<p>Whoever said asians should get a boost is thinking of AA like reparations. If discrimination against asians by America had resulted in them being set back, then AA for them would be justified. </p>
<p>I agree 100% that AA shouldn't need to exist because all races should be about the same, but due to past events they aren't. If we ever want them to be we have to isolate the issue and fix it. AA is isolating the issue.</p>
<p>Economic AA could be used by a college to yield the same results as racial AA.Like I've said before, just look to a very Black/Latino/Native American area and you'll find plenty of poor people. While economic AA may seem more "just" to some, in practice, it would be pretty much the same.</p>
<p>Also, who says that schools don't already do this?</p>
<p>"^But that's not entirely true. A good part (like half) of the country is pro-choice, i.e. they don't necessarily consider abortion blasphemy."</p>
<p>agree but for the most part, if you were to drive through places like New Kersey highways you're bound to see at least one sign saying "STOP ABORTION"</p>
<p>kk, its basic soceity that instills this. You haven't seen commercials and ads that deters abortions?</p>
<p>
But that doesn't mean that the general public is pro-life. It just means that whoever put up that sign is pro-life.</p>
<p>Same thing with the commercials and ads. Just because those are on TV doesn't mean that everyone is pro-life, it just means that the people who made them are pro-life.</p>
