Well, we can agree that people from all the political spectrum here think AA doesn't help at all. I bet many conservatives were waiting for some libs to support it.Flecco wrote:
'Positive' segregation is still segregation.
Racism is racism, no matter what label you whack on it. I disagree with it.
Which is odd because Affirmative Action goes against socialist ideology. Generally on this board socialist = liberal.sergeriver wrote:

Not for me. Here in New York it's alot different then in cali. They hire people more over race then experience who dont know much shit about helping mentally disturbed children, These people ignore us, Verbally abuse us, And sometimes get physical. Most of the people that took the job are fresh out of high school and act all hood and shit. If you want i'll pm you the details.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
While I don't doubt your experience in special education schools, I can rebut this from MY own personal observations - my good friend's fiance is a teacher for kids with autism and other developmental disabilities, and she willingly took the job with less pay despite being overqualified for the job. Why? Because she wants to help people.

AA nurtures resentment. That is all.

You can. Decisions influenced by race and/or sex are made under the taint of discrimination. Affirmative Action is based on decisions influenced by race and sex.Spark wrote:
Yeah, um, can't call it discrimination... but it certainly doesn't help with equal opportunity. Focus on getting the playing field off the damn slope, don't artificially raise one end of it.

I thought the whole civil rights movement was based on equal opportunity regardless of race. . . . AA ENCOURAGES preferential treatment based soley on race, and thats beyond wrong and rediculous!
