You can PM me if you want to discuss more... But it is pointless to see what an alternative is for affirmative action is from this type of forum because basically, folks don't know and really don't care... I care... But most other folks could not give a dayum whether they are sitting next to some one of another race, ethnic group, sexual orientation or etc...



On that note~~~

The 1965 Civil Rights act signed by President Lyndon Johnson states that all public services must provide equal opportunity and ACCESS to public accomodations... Thereby, ending segregation. Integration was an attempt to end public segregation in public services... One instrument that seemed to be a quick fix to this problem of segregation was affirmative action.

The public sectors that needed to be address were employment and education. Basically, if my taxes go to pay for these universities, then my child ought to have equal ACCESS to these services unless America was ready to dictate that they had 2 social classes... And back in 1965, America wasn't about to state that they did giving the Soviet Union the fodder it needed to have nuclear missles in Cuba--basically saying to the public--lookie hearrah, lookie heaaraah--the Americans are facists...

Folks, KNOW YOUR HISTORY!!! Most of what we are seeing are results of what our anscestors have levied upon our generation and generations to come to deal with and pay for...

Now, there are 2 ways I can argue for AA: Just like sugar and spice is doing with logical conclusions OR, break it down to one inalienable fact. Which one do you want me to do???

'Cuz really, there are tons of folks that got hella talent, there are only so many spots to put them into... What's a college s'pose to do???
