It seems to me that we’re forgetting why that band-aid fix (racial quotas) was created to begin with. If people of African descent wasn’t discriminated against and denied an education to begin with then this wouldn’t be an issue would it? We’ve been fighting to get an education since we were brought here,let alone a decent one! Now after Brown v. Board of Ed., the public school closings of S.Carolina,the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so forth, someone is actually saying let’s trust that those at the top of this caste system will do “rat by us and lau us ta huv a ejacashon”. Maybe admission quotas aren’t the right answer for the problem, but do you remember when there wasn’t an answer?

I do think that we are viewing a clash of civilizations with very different premises and outcomes, but I also see that we have had that on the Christian/Secular front as well.

I would further submit the idea that it is the weakening within from such …

The recent riots in France were the result of societal discrimination, as the French government has no affirmative action policy, and those who are constantly discriminated against, in that case Muslims, had enough of this intolerance and took to the streets. We do not need the same thing to happen here, again.

I encourage Mr. Barber and anyone else who shares his views to consider the consequences of removing affirmative action and any other program that benefit minorities. When someone is on medication for anti-depression, they feel better, and often times as a result of this decide to stop taking their medicine. When they stop taking their medicine they are right back to where they were before, depressed. Affirmative Action is medicine for America, medicine we need to keep taking, or else we will end up right where we were before.

MISTER Barber? Oh, brother. – Admin

See what I mean? The arrogance and pure nerve. Yes, yes, please go, humbly, and find such a place where your pointed and important observations will be appreciated. Blogs number in the millions now. – Admin

I respect your opinion, and the worthy dialogue.

I just wish you would respect mine.

I guess, much like, what happens in the larger society, without control over the currents in the stream, even if I or my idea has a great ability to swim, I will be slowed or even become a beached seal in the race down the river. And even be subsequently accused of somehow not playing by the rules.

Business as usual in a society (river) founded on priveledge for a select group (or idea).

Maybe one day you’ll realize that an opposing viewpoint is not an ad hominem attack.

Feel free to post my “edited” comments and remove the part where you feel you were attacked.

“Wow” is right. If you could argue the points in my post without referring to my motives or what your idea of a “black woman” should be, you may comment. Otherwise, I’ve no time for it, whether “steeped in truth” (Oh, brother!) or not. As I said before, read my comment policy. This blog is my forum, not commenters’.

I didn’t like your “tone.” – Admin

Another disgruntled black liberal.

Please read the comment policy, a few other posts, and try again. If you can make your point without attacking me, I’ll post your comment. – Admin

And the “remedy for past damages” argument is weak and tired and cannot possibly justify the wholesale acceptance of lowered standards. Great thing to teach black kids, that “past damages” meme, isn’t it?

Ms. Barber there will not be a colorblind society until this society acknowledges what all of us privately know- America has an racial hierarchy and those at the top of it benefit disproportionately.

Reverse discrimination is wishful thinking.

Although this type of racial bias pales in comparison to the “whites only” admissions that occured for two centuries in this country, it is still wrong and needs be abolished.

Barack Obama, wow I had high hopes for this guy. These guys shouldnt attack this right now because it divides the country?

Didnt MLK say, “the time is always right to do what is right?”
