Maybe you could answer this for me. Why can a black man get into Harvard for free with a "C" average while my son with an "A" paying full tuition cannot? You're right! It takes 1000's of years to heal from that. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Because he took AP courses and your son just took Home Economics.

well to tell you the truth that young mans father & grandfather did not have the same opportunities yours did...His father may not have even had the right to vote & his grandfather definately did not. So affirmitave action is the way of leveling the playing field... not only today... but over the past 100 years or so. Additionally if you do the research you find that most University applicants are WHITE, not simply becauz they have better grades but they come from a wealthy generation where they do not have to work for anything, tuition, housing, all paid for by their parents trust funds. Black children do not have any of this as the 'civil rights' of their forefathers were so badly violated...
Walk around the Campus of Harvard... Tell me how many black men you see my friend. Then tell me if they let in one in once in a while with a C average for PR reasons that WHITE america should be up in arms?
It is not perfect... not many things of this nature are.
Beleive me, your son has a much better chance in today's society than a black person's son. Yes even today. & Yes, even if he needs to get A+ & the black kid only needs a C. Your son still has a far greater chance at success...

I respect each and every poster here without a doubt. But I DO NOT respect people who don't speak up on how they feel and be genuine about it. I know in this forum that many people have called and will continue to call the murdered Rapper Tupac Shakur nothing but a nigger and worthless Thug, but in return will downgrade me because I used the same N word on Ricky Williams. I gave my points and will continue to do so. Now that i said it, it's dead. You have your right to believe me or not. I'm not trying to get no converts. I just speak how I feel.
Nothing like 2 face cowards.

general - im disappointed that you think this is not an important issue.
to all of the others - i respect your positions on affirmative action, however, blacks do NOT have the same opportunities as whites do in today's society. living in low income areas/projects without 2 parents makes it difficult to make education the first priority. the reason blacks are in the projects is because of years of slavery.
finally, to say that racial discrimination is no longer a problem is probably the most ignorant thing one can say.

it is hard to explain, but it just is... there is no deragatory conotation with it... they say it when jesting... not quite the same thing...
