And yes, I have experienced racial behaviors too my friend, like I said, racism isnt just a white thing.
Agreed


I deal with it everyday, hicks around here hate the fact that my fiance is biracial. Everyday I get "looks" and "whispers"

Oh well,


I respect You Dsdaddy. You are doing way more then me for our country.

If you do that, myself and every other military member in this country might as well just quit. Everyone has an opinion...and should have the right to voice it. Some people just tend to think that their opinion is the only one that counts...

Dammit, I was supposed to stay out of this!!!

well...

I wrote this and all sources for all info is cited... unfortunately it is all true...

Now how that could offend anyone blows my mind...

dsdaddy, I have no idea how this would offend you. AA is a government **** up. It does not nessesarily mean that you are lazy or anyone else is lazy... I hope you read it in its entirety before taking offense (if you did)

Now anyone that has an arguement about why AA is GOOD... then post it...

However I assure you that I already covered why that arguement is wrong...

The fact is...

AA goes against EVERYTHING that our great country is founded on. And it breaks our constitutional rights.

AA is discrimination. AA is racism. AA is wrong.

And this crap about the rebel flag, get a ****in life

thats like lance saying, "I'm thinking about getting chrome wheels" and then you replying, "carbon fiber hood is awesome dude!"

OK... I looked at the "whole big picture." AA is discimination and
breaks our constitutional rights.

Congrats on the scholarship... That was one of the many scholarships I couldn't apply for... Which is why I didn't get a nice scholarship... :wallbash: if only I was black

So the reason you didn't get one of those MANY scholarships is becuase you weren't black?!?!? funny becuase i got a "non-black" scholarship also and didn't have a problem. What was i thinking.....i didn't get these scholarships becuase i did well...it was AA. How simple minded of me. Thank you AA!!!! You put me through school. I would have never overcame if it wasn't for AA. THANK GOD FOR AA!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

All i'm saying is i've had to work just as hard as the next guy.....if it was just becuase of AA that i got my job....I didn't work any less for it. Which is what some people are implying.

And thats great, I commend you, but there are people that use the system for their benefit. The system IS flawed, and it is my opinion that there SHOULD NOT be black/white/hispanic only scholarships, THAT is racism/discrimination.

please... go read the whole article I wrote... I have a feeling that you skimmed through it...

AA didnt GET YOU A ****IN SCHOLARSHIP...

AA did this...

there are 10 scholarships for EVERYBODY
then there are 3 for blacks
2 for asian
2 for indians
blah blah blah

AA doesnt hire minorities instead of whites...

they pay companies to do that...

I swear... I don't feel like re writing every thing I already wrote... go read it... all of it in detail...
