BS Wildcats Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I thought affirmative action allowed preferential treatment to certain people. Such as allowing certain races college admission, even though another applicant of a different race was more deserving. jv_coach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aforementioned article gives some insight about white privilege and college admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you advocate policies where blacks are admitted over whites, even though the whites may have scored higher in the college entrance exams? Where is the fairness in that? Blacks are not about fairness. They are about overtaking and shunning whites. These policies don't make blacks work harder to learn, it allows them to "coast" through life. Look at yourself.... Supposedly a RN who doesn't know what the "C" in naacp stands for. You think that speaks volumes for your education? You really shouldn't flaunt it to people. It's very exposing. Your "everybody gets a ribbon or trophy" sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it is fair that wealthy white kids get admitted; even though, they have lower GPA's than some minorities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please show me where that has happened. Blacks have struggled to pass the entrance exams. So instead of working harder in school, let's lower the qualifications so that everyone gets in, since we believe that everyone is " entitled" to an education. You see, when you don't have to earn your way in life, it affects the quality of education for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big girl Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 My son was considered legacy at my alma Mata, Texas A&M University, yet he had the GPA and class ranking to get in on his merits. Trump's dad bought his degree, (Donald). We all know he didn't get into Penn, an Ivy League School, because he is smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't being a legacy be black privilege? Heck, even "Flounder" was a legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenash Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Jared Kushner is hardly emblematic of what takes place in American colleges today. Additionally, you, of all people, who regularly criticizes the sources provided by others elects to use something from ThinkProgress.org- simply amazing. If little Johnny Caucasian graduates from high school with a 3.0 average and little Joey Minority graduates from high school with a 3.0 average and both apply to University of Texas and/or Baylor, wanna guess/bet who will receive preferential consideration?

Johnny Caucasian. Baylor has 14, 000 students. I think maybe 1000, are black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you and big girl are ok with racism as long as it works to your advantage. I call that racism, and y'all are a bunch of hypocrites.
