but having anykind of government aid for a certain race, religion or gender is wrong... and that is what affirmative action is...

The reason some of companies or people give out a black only scholarship is because it gives more black kids a chance to go to college when they wouldnt otherwise. I guess i dont see the harm in that.

everyone should be equal... race gender or religion shouldnt have an impression on anything...
This is the point of my saying this, anyone who thinks i am racist is a retard...
EVERYONE IS EQUAL
our race etc shouldn't matter...
we shouldn't have to fill out our gender or race on an application...
and if you disagree with that... then you are racist...
Martin Luther king dreamed of a time when everyone would be equal... not a time when minorities would recieve government aid for being a minority...

Allright. This arguement is dumb.
People are worried about the pigment of others skin. I mean seriously.
And whats this AA black thing? I go to AA and it is mostly white. I fell off the wagon though, so i dont know if it changed. (hic)
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHA BHAHA AHAHHAAHAHAHA...
i ****in kill myself. LOL!!!
The whole AA thing forces people to give others opportunitys they might not normally offer cause of thier hillbilly look on life. That is the good part.
AA also causes resentment in those who would not discriminate and makes them feel punished. That is the bad part.
The best thing to do with all this crap is what Carlos Mencia and Dave Chappelle do. Make fun of it. Make fun of it, put it on tv, throw around the stereotypes, and get people to be so goddamn desensitized to the entire thing that they dont even notice it.
If i get angry at it and say the world delt me a bad hand being white, and some black guy says the world have him a bad hand for being black, all were gonna do is get mad at eachother.
So instead, laugh at it, laugh at eachother, laught at yourself, must most important, laugh together
BAH! There is the hippy in me comin out! LOL
One of the problems is how white people rolled on thier belly, oh were so bad, oh we did such a horrible thing. Yeah right. THEY DID, the people here BEFORE US! Not a single ****ing ONE of us was there. Or else yer too old to be driving. Then you got the whoel term "Race" which really has drastic implications. We also have the whole "race box" on ever damn application in the planet. Get rid of that.
America is so hell bent on trying to create opportinity that walls are being built almost as fast as they are being torn down.
Besides, we all know the ones we should all hate. It doesent matter what yer pigment is, it matters what yer homeland is.
We should hate The French.
LOL.

apples to oranges. We all have a different look on things depending on how/where we grew up and our cultures. No matter what anyone says...The United States of America, or rather the whole world, will never be equal no matter what anyone says IMHO. There will always be someone out there with more/less than you and there's nothing we can do about it.

OH MY GOD, I have been talking about the same thing since i was a senior in highschool looking for scholorships! Its wrong plain and simple.
As a minority, if somebody said "no you cant have this job because you are "blank" you would be pissed! you would sue! as you should, that is wrong!!!!!
so how is it right for somebody to do it to someone that is in the majority?
AA is fighting rasicm with rasicm. . . which is just the wrong way to go about it.
The way economy works is good enough to make things equal.
If company A. Hires a person just because they are white . . even though they are stuipid, they are at a disadvantage because now they have an inferior employee. Comany B. hires that minority that is SMARTER and BETTER because they will be a valuable asset. Company B will do better then company A.
THAT ALONE IS ENOUGH.
Oh there will never be a white history month or a white entertainment television because of this, it would get tourn to shreds.
Man i am so angry just thinking about this.
a person getting help, or getting left out SOLEY because of there race/sex/religion is a bad thing, it doesnt matter if they are white black male felmale, anything!!!
this is what AA promotes!

Thats how I feel, I don't see any good in AA because "pigment" is what runs it...
There are programs that offer school aid etc, there is no reason race should play arole in any of it...

The problem with things like BET is they really need to just get that out with all the major networks. By keeping those shows on BET they make a channel with good programming and alienate the white audience and create more barriers. This stuff needs to be integrated. Not secluded. What is BET anyway? The back of the network bus? get that stuff on all the channels. Whatever happened to shows like 227? Jeffersons? Whats Happenin? all you see on the major networks is stuff like "friends" which has had to have been the stupidest ****ing show ever made. I wanna punch that phoebe bitch right in the mouth! LOL
And while they are revamping the channel lineup, they need to KILL whoever is responsible for the "Lifetime" channel.
lol....

The point was he was a founding father and that is what our country was built upon and affirmative action and the declaration of Independence don't agree with each other...

I don't watch anything I can't get a kick out of and i don't expect others to either. There are people that can tho. BET is exactly what it is....black entertainment. Not black ONLY entertainment. Just something we can relate to and possibly others who enjoy these shows. It just happens to be on a black owned black run channel.
I could care less about BET...
allthough if someone had WET people would either get pissed or laugh cause it says wet...
the truth is... BET is black entertainment television... and the majority of people entertained by it are black... so... Whats the big deal... doesn't affect me...
People like BET... and others don't... just don't watch it if you don't like it...

Its all human nature, we all have a built in prejudice whether its caused by how we grew up or fear of the unknown. Some of us have this prejudice to a greater degree than others to the point where it interferes with making a sound judgement.
We all like to hang around with people that are like us. In this fourm it happens to be about mustangs. Living in S FL I often think latinos are a majority but this is far from the truth as what you think reality is often times is just what your reality is relative to your enviroment. When I head up to North FL or Deep South I get the bad vibes by whites and non latin blacks. I known this is due to them feeling like a minority down here with a heavy population of immigrants. My sister is biracial and her husband a non hispanic black with A University of Miami degree has had a hard time getting a job worthy of this BA,could be due to not being fluid in speaking spanish.
Its enough that most of us get some form of racism in the world that there should be a place where we could be free of that and the place called is Mustangboards. Discussions of race does not belong here and if you want to discuss this feel free to but somewhere else. We are all the same but different let us talk about our passion which is the Mustang. Dont let the numbers below discourage anyone on this site . You are 99.9% of the majority on this site that agree that Mustangs are the best. We all know who the .1% are a Honda and a bowtie lover.
white 81.7%, black 12.9%, Asian 4.2%, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2% (2003 est.)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)

Hey it opened back up!
With the potential of things steering out of control i guess it is understandable to close it, the only problem is any time you get a good mature discussion about something like this going on with white and black people, people learn something about others. When it gets shut down, that learning stops.
back to the point, if people dont talk about stuff they dont learn about it. this is a private board so they mods can do whatever they want, however, ending a conversation like this is very counter productive to the entire issue being discussed.
if somone comes in and starts getting all racist, well, then we all know that person is garbage. let em show thier colors. lol
yo.
