Affirmative Action

[Mocknbird67]

Great message and infomative. Especially the statement at the end.

[sky4you2b]

So let's Not discriminate against the black , latino , oriental , or jews , let's just discriminate against the whites until they are no more , let's take there schools , there jobs , and there homes . let's get them to be financially responsible for our children to the point where they'll not have enough money to have children of there own , Yea Affirmative Action

[Mocknbird67]

@sky4you2b And let's especially make sure that all people get basic education like learning the difference between Their and There!! Did you even watch the whole vid? I'm as white as they come. I even have a hard time finding makeup pale enough for my skin. I don't want to see white people disappear from the earth, but I think your comment is based on anger and fear, not reality.

@Mocknbird67 I don't know what side of the railroad tracks you come from , but the side I come from is reality , and as far as anger and fear , I know peace , and affirmative action is path away from peace . "There "

This video doesn't mention that UC Berkeley has students admitted on a 4.0 and a 5.0 scale and the average SAT score was 1968 in 2007

@thekurgan89 If that is indeed true, then I'm disappointed they aren't telling the whole truth. But it is still an important message. I wouldn't choose to be a racial "minority" in the U.S. south. Racism is wrong and it exists everywhere on all sides. We need more compassion and less hate.

[thekurgan89]

@Mocknbird67 I agree that racism and hate are bad things, but nicer racism isn't the answer to it. I could go on for a while explaining how affirmative action actually hurts minorities in some ways but I'd rather direct you toward Thomas Sowell. He's a black man who grew up in the 40's who went on to teach at some of these top tier schools. Look him up if youre interested. Also, as a woman, I am offended by affirmative action. I'm awesome without the help

cry me a river..what the hell does this have to do with affirmative action? so fight racism with..more..racism??? duh..thats real fucking smart..must of been a liberal to come up with this..oh yes..it was!

[reeceparsons54]

stop promoting racism. !! everyone knows who the racists are . just watch cctv or the news or open your eyes. people know the truth vids like this wont hide it!!!

[atheistnarnia]

Straw man alert!!!

It takes more than a 4.0 and above a 1200 SAT score to get into UC Berkeley. Do you know how many indivduals writ large applied there with those qualifications and more and got rejected?

[atheistnarnia]

Acsess to Education? lol

Washington DC spends more money per student than anywhere else?

[Mocknbird67]

@atheistnarnia Not true. In france, higher education is FREE to ALL!! As it should be. Our country wouldn't have to import so many educated foreigners if we funded education for all!

[SpideyNinety08]

i like how you say many minorities are in poverty and lack the means to higher education...are the white people in the same boat less important because affirmative action doesn't help them

[ekmixon]

When you lower the standards based on race everybody loses. Affirmative action benefits middle and upper class minorities at the expense of lower class Caucasions. It makes no sense at all. Here is an alternative...base affirmative action on economic standing and not race based. Your argument is flawed.
