Demonjoe NoviceI am 100% against affirmative action. It is nothing more than racism and sexism against white males. Racism is racism no matter who is getting discriminated against.
-
Isn't that the thing where non-whites get an advantage because of their race?
-
Demonjoe NoviceYeah.
-
tongue NewbieIt's actually kind of racist to be against it, I'd say. Minorities have been and still are at a disadvantage, and affirmative action is neccessary to help them to get an equal footing. It's not discrimination against white men because white men run society, and holding that kind of power, they've successfully cultivated opposition to affirmative action(among women even, who have been misled) because they fear they will lose their power in society. Why does one group have to hold power? What's wrong with equality? Affirmative action is about equality.
-
How about they just try to make equal percentages of each race in...stuff? It might fail, but it's an idea.
-
Demonjoe NoviceIts 2010, not 1964, minorities are at no less at a disadvantage than white men today. The racism I see in affirmative action is that it implies that white males are the only ones who don't need help from the state.
-
tongue NewbieMinorities are at no less of a disadvantage? You do know the poverty rate in those communities far surpasses that of whites, right Joe?
-
Minorities do have a disadvantage, although you said that in a more complicated way....but no harm in getting into the details....just, long....
-
tongue NewbieThere are way more poor minorities(blacks,Latinos) than there are poor white people is basically what I am saying, Hikaru.
-
Yeah, but, I mean I want to see your reasons in your long posts, but, like I wish you would make you point before all the reasons so I have more snes of what your salking about....but we no that's not gonna happens....watever
-
Demonjoe NoviceI know that tongue, but thats no reason to punish white people for that.
-
I think there should just be equal oppertunity for all. There shouldn't be favoring one group to solve racism problems. I agree minorities have had it hard in the past, but the way you get rid of racism is not favoring anyone, just giving equal rights and oppertunities to everyone regardless of race, gender, creed, ect.
-
tongue NewbieAs I've already said Joe, affirmative action does not punish or discriminate against whites- white people run society. All your argument is really based on is Fear of a Black Planet.
-
You just told him off, but in an educated way.
-
tongue NewbieHellz yeah!
