And they were also bred like cattle for physical traits rather than mental traits for the same amount of time. So if you don't take that into account, yes, it does just involve economic status and family status. |
Why do we "kind of have to" take this into account? How does unequal treatment mean we should continue unequal treatment...but just reversed? I simply do not get this logic at all. Racism is racism is racism...when its whites turning blacks down for skin color and when its blacks turning whites down for skin color. The whole point of fighting racism is to say no more decisions based on skin color...so why institute a system that legitimizes racism...because that is exactly what AA is.
To me AA is a monstrous policy based in some very cruel and tortured logic. It's frightening that people can seriously go from the civil rights movement into believing in AA is a positive thing in under 20 years....its the same damn thing in reverse folks. Affirmative Action IS racism...plain and simple...RACISM. I mean the overt kind.
I'd love to know how one act of racism justifies another.
Once you've seen the effects of it first hand there is no mistaking it, the repurcussions of this horrific policy still effect my dad to this day.
PS - Yeah it pisses me off quite a bit, but I have a damn good reason for it to piss me off and I don't try to hide that fact at all.
