Affirmative action was defended on the grounds that certain groups, principally African Americans, are entitled to assistance because of the atrocious legacy of slavery and institutionalized racism.

Should Today’s African Americans remain categorized as ‘mentally challenged’ or handicapped while playing on the same field as Asians and Whites?
Perhaps we, as a society, should oppress Asians completely; because frankly, they tend to be higher achievers than all the racial groups combined!

There existed a legitimate moral argument even 40 – 50 years ago for Affirmative Action,
is it perpetual through the ages?

If diversity is essential to education, let’s dismantle historically black and women’s colleges.
This augments diversity and ends segregation.

Perhaps we should demand affirmative action be applied to the football fields and basketball courts.

How did you make that incredible, impossible, cognitive leap that "affirmative action" was in place because of "the atrocious legacy of slavery and institutionalized racism" to it categorizing Blacks as "mentally challenged"? Please explain.

A Black man was elected president. Racism is dead, dead, dead. So sayeth all the Right Wing political agitators as they put their dog whistle racism into the airways, objections to their hurtful and divisive remarks on race thrown on their created rubbish heap of PC.

A black man was never elected president. Get it straight bozo.The nearest we ever had was a self identified mulatto, raised by his white communist mother and his white communist grandparents, while his black baby daddy fled to Kenya.

To "take" from one who has earned and "give" to one who has not is always wrong. It sows hatred and needs to end. I say cling to the Bible and Constitution... no taxes levied except on commerce and trade. That would cut the reckless spending of government and we would be not be in debt and prosperous again. This country has been in decline since the the Federal Income Tax was passed into law which violated our Constitution. End the Federal Reserve and go back to the Gold Standard which isn't even an an American institution but a foundation for all the New World Order evil. Both legalized "theft" and need to end.

There's a procedure for that. The first step is to audit the Federal Reserve system and, comparing the number of federal Reserve notes in circulation against the amount of gold in Ft. Knox, figure out how much a dollar is really worth at the present time (not much, in my estimation). Once the 'real' exchange rate is known, begin offering gold for FRN's based on that rate.

Next, repeal the 'legal tender laws' and put a time limit on dollar/gold convertibility. Once the deadline for conversion has passed, repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and send the bankers back to their 'day jobs'. Since there will no longer be a Federal Reserve, there will be no need of an interest collector, so the IRS can be abolished forthwith, sending those employees back to the open labor market also. Because the Federal Government will be operating on the limitations of the gold standard, large chunks of it will be effectively defunded (No Fed, no inflation. No inflation, no free government money. No free government money, less government), so many of those bureaucrats will also be required to find alternative means of sustenance.

In aggregate, ending the Fed. would bring about many, many much needed reforms. It all starts with an audit of the monetary system to figure out what it's actually worth, and the rest follows effortlessly.

By the way, good luck in getting that audit...

I agree, but I like to try and maintain a positive attitude, as much as possible. And I would rather pray and hope, than just being w/o hope... and that some dreams, really do come true.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

At this point blacks chose not to excell period.. They are not a victim they simply believe they are entitled.. Well they are not entitled..
The blacks of this era have every benefit that can be given yet they do not change..

Many other ethnics come here and sustain themselves, working and helping each other.. Why is it after alllllll this time the blacks do not achieve??? They simply do not try, that’s why..

They are not held back they hold themselves back with their” You did me wrong I’m entitled”mentality..
They have every thing at their disposal if they wanted to succeed..

Nor are they mentally challenged, they are lazy and prefer to live off the pittance of government..

Larry the Legend Loc: Not hiding in Milton

Now Linda. You know better than that. There are many successful black professionals in many, many walks of life. Just because many more are 'welfare queens', doesn't mean there are no worthy blacks among us. This is a simple case of the minority tarnishing the majority. Having said that, the ones who are "lazy and prefer to live off the pittance of government" are quite reprehensible, aren't they?

Yep, life is all about choices. Good and evil do exist. There is one supreme head God and there is one head rebel god. There are three heavens and one pit. Evil sometimes last a long time because the supreme God doesn't want to send you to the pit, but when He has had enough, He will send you there, because He is just and does not lie, choose life, chose to open the door and let Jesus in, all your sins have been paid for. Accept the free gift and open the door. Eternity is w/o time. You will either rejoice or suffer forever. Here's hoping to seeing and meeting all my OPP friends on the other side of this life. The Pope, Allah, Trump, Hillary, Congress, priests, rabbi's, pastors, laws, money, lying, running, or great defense will not save you, there is only one way. Your decision, your choice and we all have to live with our choice and it's consequence. Believe what you want, I believe that's the cards we have been dealt, and there are no good enough excuses for the wrong choice. Why was I born, why am I here? To make the supreme choice! The rich, poor, loved, hated, black, white, straight, gay, male, female all have the same choice if they have heard the good news.

Our society (whites included) is plagued with the 'entitlement mentality.'
We see more and more 30 - 40 year old children living with and off their parents.

Generally, most of the world, does not coddle their children and citizens.

The N. Korean, Russian and Chinese military is stronger than ours; however, we are more technically advanced and that gap is closing fast. Their patriotism is more profound than ours, or their citizen(s) dies. They have learned not to subjugate themselves to long, drawn-out, costly and demoralizing conflicts and wars. Our defense budget is greater than the N. Korean, Russian and Chinese's combined.

They tolerate little criminal behavior, even from their elites. They are not wasting their valuable resources to battle radical islam, MS 13, Zoe Pound and other gangs. Comparative to our communities, their citizens are fairly safe in their homes and as they walk the streets.
Our incarceration rate is sky high as is our expenditures. We have too many people incarcerated
that shouldn't be; our police, correctional officers, and social workers are bogged down with bureaucratic red tape.

Our judicial system is a joke. Judges decree their opinions ruling over our people in lieu / instead of dispensing justice. Dollars promote our legal system and buy out judges for their biased opinions.

We have turned our backs on the God that Blessed this nation to worship other gods.
Money is our master over Principles and meaningful values.

I agree that justice isn't being practiced in most places in our country. If you "kill" someone, it may be on purpose or an accident, but if you "murder" someone you should be required to forfeit your life 100% of the time no matter what. Theft of your money or property, you traded your time and your life for it and for someone to steal it is very serious... they should repay the amount or item stolen w/i 90 days or be seriously punished. I think a person should not be locked up for really serious bad acts. I think, cruel and unusual punishment has been twisted out of shape. I think the thief should be given a choice, years in prison or X number of lashes determined by a conservative judge and the person he robbed may administer whipping. Justice is swift, restitution is swift and innocent tax payers save money by not funding prison's and all their associated cost. The guilty can reform or be put to death after a three strikes your out rule. I'm not mean or cruel but we can't continue along our current path of sending people to prison for their street cred credentials or a criminal higher education by networking with other criminals. Every state should have a county farm system where crimes of lesser magnitude are punished. Each crime should have a dollar amount attached to it. Forced manual labor growing crops, raising animals, picking up trash or doing public work projects. You are given a minimal salary and are freed when restitution is complete. It is a type of slavery but it's a limited duration and the person can always chose to become a law abiding person. Three trips to a county farm earn you a whipping.

Easily explainable, he started with a paragraph commenting on the preference accorded to blacks because of a condition of previous slavery. He ended that paragraph and started a new paragraph, indicating he had finished with the thought of the previous paragraph.

He started this new paragraph with a rhetorical question which presupposes the "what if" condition of black mental deficiency. Hence, no link or jump to conclusion.

I hope this clarifies things for you, but I suspect it won't, else you would never have brought up your ridiculous challenge.

Black Americans as a group have pledged themselves to remain on the Democrats plantation as long as they get proper pandering.

Affirmative Action is a win-win for the KKK and Democrat Party, because as long as you keep blacks covinced that black skin is a birth defect, they won't have to worry about them thinking for themselves. And the bonus is that they will put the chains on themselves.
