Ok so you think holding back the white man and letting another spic take my job is ok? Its not this shit should be goten rid of cause its bull shit. Look man im 16 ive been applying at my local supermarket for example they higher a god damn nigger over me JUST FOR THAT REASON. Nothing more just by their looks. Do you think its fair to old me back a white man just so some other bitch can try to play catch up with the white man? its wrong and your a hipeocrite.

@ihateemos4life I dont think holding anyone back is okay. However it happens EVERY SINGLE DAY in blue and white collar America. #1 that will be the first and last time you use the n word on my channel. #2 Never did I say they should hire based on the color of skin alone. I believe that every business should attempt diversity and provide opportunity. Do you know what affirmative action is? It doesn't just apply to race. Its sex, religion, etc. Do some research and spell HYPOCRITE right.

You want handouts to blacks for what whites did to them in the past but you don't see the way whites took away from mexicans back then either. For real you are just a black dude who will talk about every other races problems but not your owns. I really never talk about black issues but if you want to have real talk and point out my people faults in all fairness I will point out yours. I do think there was a time when AA was necessary but not anymore. We need to be responsible on our own.

Not every illegal immigrant is Hispanic or for that matter Mexican. I don't see why you take such offense to the speak of affirmative action. If you understood what it was you would be able to realize how it impacts more than just black people as I've said in the video. You can point out whatever you want as long as you are respectful about. I'm glad you have an opinion as to how society should now be handled, unfortunately we disagree on certain aspects.

Throw that crap out of the window. This conspiracy theory bullshit works for WEAK people but not I. People are awake and if you don't get it now you will get it in the near future. Obama chose to run, Hillary took the invitation for Sec. she's not the first woman to do it. The 2nd white woman and the 3rd behind Rice. Also if you want to go for the black thing please do your history on LINCOLN. I guess you're so innovative because you can predict America's demise right? Just like all the others.

My friend, part your last statement pretty much sums up what is wrong & contradictory with your logic and affirmative action, "...people will pick who they favor, instead of who's best for the job". Example, affirmative action allows favors for the less qualified students for college, and worse, it is race based, not economic, that why even a White or Asian kid who had overcame a rough life will be out-of-favor when compete against a Black or Hispanic kid, with same or even better childhood

Affirmative action weakens society. Most employers are fair when it comes to hiring, but affirmative action allows less qualified candidates to receive a job unfairly. Affirmative action claims to fight discrimination and advance racial equality, but all its really doing is discriminating against white males who are often times the most qualified for the job. Do you want people to respect you when you get a job, or assume that you just got 'hooked up' because you're a women or a minority?

Affirmative action is legalized discrimination. It was put in place at a time when it may have been needed. Its not now and is NOW discriminatory. End affirmative action...stop discrimination

[breadstax]

affirmative action gives unqualified people jobs, YOU PEOPLE ALREADY GO TO COLLEGE FOR FREE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN, WELFARE, FOOD STAMPS AND YOU GET A JOB BEFORE ME ALSO WITCH I GET DENIED BECAUSE THE OTHER GUY IS BLACK, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BETTER RECORD. THIS IS RACIST TO ME, BUT BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE CANT EXPERIENCE RACISM BECAUSE A LONG TIME AGO BLACK PEOPLE WERE SLAVES. THAT WHITE PEOPLE FOUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER TO FREE. SO WHY ARE BLACKS 10% MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT A CRIME

[midgety1]

I'M not really for affirmative action, you could say it's cause I'm a white man but I think its more because I'm a white man who grew up in a sub 15k a year house hold. I know the disadvantages for those of us grow up in shitty conditions

I know racism is sadly alive and well and that sux

and I'm in favor of helping people up when their down But it just doesn't seem right to me to favor someone based on race

this is just my opinion though

[NoPetrol]

The main reason I am against affirmative action as opposed to using absolutely nothing but discrimination based on relevant abilities for college admissions is because universities serve more than their students. If we weight quota deficiencies over merit, the sum of the abilities of people attending universities falls. Also, do you think a situation where black students accepted into a university have less aptitude than their non-black counterparts is ideal, or that it enforces stereotypes?

dude it might just be your damn attitude that lost you the job... and the whole "black person being hired instead of you" thing can be complete coincidence as well
