    you still arent quite comprehending. wanting to give one race special treatment isnt equality, it is whining.

    My last post didn't say anything about racial preferences. All I said was I didn't know wanting equality, which King and other Civil Rights leaders pushed for, was whining. Now, back to solutions.

    My last two post have said absolutely nothing about AA, but saying since there's inequality what can be done to fix the problem since yall don't think AA is fair.

    you refuse to listen, all you know is that you want a free ride. i have repeated multiple times that the first step to equality is to oppose all racial preferences. but for some reason your response to this is to ignore it and continue to ask for solutions.

    there is no solution if you continue to favor AA, in fact you are making me racist right now by favoring it. i dont like races who want special treatment. see how AA is counterprodctive? right now you are such a poor representative of black people, you are making me want to not hire blacks.

    I lost all interest in discussing this issue with Lottery by the simple fact that I asked some legimate questions and he wouldn't answer them.

    1) The guy who got fired from The NY Times, Is he a racist?
    2) Are there Black racists against whites?
    3) When and who will determine when AA has run its course?

    Shows you just where he is coming from.

    AA is self perpetuating because as long as it exists, it makes itself more necessary by forcing whites to resent blacks by giving them unfair treatment as well as implying to everyone that blacks are inferior by giving them a lower set of standards. so affirmative action increases racial problems and makes itself more necessary. that is why it is so utterly counterproductive.

    Thanks for the insult. Not going there with you. I'm threw talking to you. Anyone have a step by step solution to equality if we get rid of AA.

    i didnt see any insults, but if you want to be offended, you only further prove how you you enjoy being indignant and asking for special treatment, thereby justifying the mentality of people who think less of you. if you cant compete, then by all means, ask for special treatment, but then dont expect that people will treat you as an equal, when you are insisting on unequal treatment.

    you cant force equality by taking from one race and giving to another, like affirmative action does. as long as people have your mentality, then i actively hope people are racist against you and hold your race against you. it is unfortunate for black people who arent like you, that you further this mentality of entitlement.

    Sourdoughman, I must have read over your post. Sorry about that.

    1. That kid is an idiot, racist I don't know
    2. Yes, there are. Many of them older individuals who carry hatred from the Civil Rights era.
    3. The courts, congress, public, and statistics agree that equity has been reached. That will be a hard decision, but thats the way it will have to be made.
