what do you think will happen if affirmative action is ended now. something like the glass-steagall act? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

what i am saying is that the tea party are obviously very resentful of affirmative action (ie it's a racial thing). now, there was a need for affirmative action back in the sixties - do you agree that it was needed? if you do then we can debate the future

now you're being sneaky

i don't click on unknown links

i'll debate the future with you, if you can agree that affirmative action was the best thing to do at the time

you can't play basketball - but want everyone to feel sympathy for you. how about football instead

it's good to get all that resentment out. but remember whites made all the profits from slavery. perhaps universal healthcare would be a good idea

if you steal something and the police take it back - are they stealing from you? FAIL! you've marked your own paper

affirmative action is just a strawman for resentful whites - back to teabaggers again

I don't even play basketball. So of course I am not good enough to play in the NBA. Too bad you can not apply the logic of my lack of basketball skills to others who lack skills to do [insert whatever job description you want here]. The most qualified person regardless of their race should be hired for the job. If some [insert whatever race you want here] is more qualified then myself for a specific job, then they should get the opportunity before I get it. I am okay with this. Why aren't you? Why do you continue to be a racist? LOL now you say you don't even want to play the game - make up your mind

Really? wow ... I wonder if you could apply the same logic elsewhere then. don't bother with him, Canuck. He cannot understand how he just walked himself into the wall there, so he'll keep repeating the usual blah. the guy can't even deal with his own resentment. i don't think he can understand he's not a good enough player. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

good luck in your chosen career

Really? wow ... I wonder if you could apply the same logic elsewhere then. Who do you want to hire? Do you hire the most qualified candidate? or do you hire someone based on their race? LOL ... oh the irony ... as long as you continue to preach this "Affirmative Action" insanity I will continue to call for my job in the NBA. But the moment you realize "Affirmative Action" for the insanity that it is, then I will accept that there are better people out there who are more qualified than myself and I will let my dream of playing in the NBA die. you're white and resentful about the boogie man of affirmative action - yes? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

i think you'll find you're just not good enough

it is clear you do not know your history. "History" is just that, history. You need to stop living in the past and progress. You clearly think as James stated above or you simply fail to understand the concept of 'affirmative action'. I guess it was wrong of us to think you would. I will try to give you one more example. If someone is given an opportunity solely based on their race i.e. 'affirmative action' then someone else is denied that that same opportunity based on their race. When you deny a person or group of people an opportunity based on their race that is racism. Do you understand? Should we not strive for equality for all and favoritism for none? If so then we need to progress and move away from affirmative action. Can you answer the 2 questions I posed to you... I have low expectations. ps- I understand history so you can save the key strokes. so you're white and resentful of affirmative action - like the vast majority in the tea party. you also don't want health care for the poor/black? you are a master twister sir But as long as you are for racism, as your posts clearly indicate, there will be no normal conversation with you. I too pity you, as looking differently at people just because of thier color, has to make like a bit tough for you you'll find the teabaggers have the racial worries

My point here was.. we are all from the same place ..Earth and i am a tea party believer and this racial B.S. doesn't hold water. you don't deny that the vast majority of your brethren are white. why is that? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

it is clear you do not know your history. I only spoke of how your attitude comes across, has nothing to do with history. It is truly a shame you think so little of minorities. I pitty you, you should try to get out in the real world more instead of living in your little alternet reality. James it truly is a shame that you know so little of your own history - try reading more. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

you're the one pushing it

Except to make this poor analogy more accurate, the police would take it back from my neighbor 50 years later. how did your neighbour acquire stolen goods? He didn't. That is the point. But you're fine with stealing from him anyway for my past crime. (I'm not around any more to punish) sounds more like you spread your stolen goods around a bit - just to make it hard to pin on you. what stolen goods did you get from your white neighbour? and the police still aren't thiefs to answer the question. stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
