looking at your vid it seem as though u arent an "all white american," so theoretically, affirmative action could may as well benefit you, too. By the way, affirmative action is not just for blacks.

Just because it could benefit me doesn't mean I think it is right to prefer me over another because of who my parents were, it should be because of who I am.

Point one, WHITE woman are helped out most by AA than any other group.

Point two , there was a MIT study done that shows people with " black" sounding names are turn down for jobs when they have the some skill set that people with white sounding names .

Point three, For Obama to win it only takes around 30 % of the people that are voting age in America, so with your logic the other 70% can still be racist .

Point four, read up on the cycle of poverty .

What's wrong with not liking black people?

It's their loss, right?

WTF???

That is a MAN?

I couldn't believe the voice coming out of this very girly-looking face!

He looks just like those cute Asian gals who have the voices like little girls.

This is not a guy who should have hair like that, unless he wants to be mistaken for a girl.

Now - I do agree that affirmative action is discriminatory and therefore a faulty system. However, without acknowledging the complexity of the situation, "very simple" arguments simply will not actually be received well by those who have a lived experience vastly different from your own (I'm guessing).

I think the evolution of affirmative action into a discriminatory act can be understood if you look at the history of African American oppression. The remnants of their oppression still exist and effect real lives.

@SirFrancisDashwood15 Lmao, you obviously need parental help when looking over data.

I think its dumb to assume that because we have black president the affrimative action should end. That's like saying why are white people poor after the last 43 presidents? It makes no sense. Their is numerous of reserch that have proven blacks are still discriminated against in jobs, housing, schooling etc. But i guess sense racism isn't out in the open anymore it doesn't exist right?

I normally dont post on these types of videos and due to my connection was unable to view. If you think affirmative action is a bad thing, I suggest you try and research how minorities have a MUCH harder time getting into elite colleges and how MUCH they are left behind when it comes to their careers. I dont think ending affirmative action would help any whites either. You already get the goodies anyway. We are a long way from having the same opportunities.
