Claims of racism against white people is the new rallying cry of the white racist. Go ahead and tell me I am wrong. All you white people with all your 'proof' are screaming it from the roof tops around here. Whaaa Whaaa wahhhh , oh, those colored folk, they just be out to get us. I'm so sick of it. Quit your crying and grow up.
Ok, non-white person, quit your crying and grow up.
We're sick of your mentality, too.
Why do you leap to the assumption that I am not white? What indications did I make that I am any color at all. Just because I use certain words that go against your already established view of how things are, you assume I am something that I many not be.
And before you start...remember...you opened this box...

Preaching hate is still preaching hate. You don't get a Get Out of Bigotry Free card just because you aren't white. On second thought, maybe you do... It's all about what society will let you get away with, and yes historically white's have taken advantage of that in a really ugly way. So, over the last couple hundred years European/whites have gotten away with a lot of horrible, horrible things, and institutional racism does still exist within the framework of a dominant white culture. Resentment is understandable, but there are extreme manifestations of derision from minorities that aren't doing anything to soothe racial tensions. Pretending like that doesn't exist, and that there isn't a consistent undercurrent of resentment towards whites presented in the media, even mainstream media, is choosing to be blind.

Those appear to be unsourced words in response to a post asking for data and statistics. Guess I don't have to take them seriously either.

You can ignore things it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Why do we have to provide you with examples when it's ALL OVER THE PLACE
I can be intellectually dishonest and just pretend something doesn't exist because i feel like it.
Just Google affirmative action its been happening in our universities and workplaces for two decades stop lying.

It's really sad that you are so closed minded that you see attempting to bring diversity into places with traditionally less diversity as a type of reverse racism.

I don't need to prove affirmative action if you opened your eyes and laid attention for the last decade you would know it exist without the necessity to so any research.

That's not what I'm asking you to prove. Go reread my posts to the TheBulk again. Your reading comprehension is failing.

We live in a white majority country it should come as no surprise that white people run everything.

Hispanic and black enrollment at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Los Angeles dropped sharply after voters approved a statewide ban on affirmative action. Those numbers have not recovered, even as the state’s Hispanic population has grown.
The state’s flagship universities each enrolled fewer black and Hispanic students after a court ruling prohibited them from using affirmative action. The University of Texas later readopted affirmative action in 2005.
After Michigan voters approved a ban on affirmative action, the number of black freshmen declined at the two most prominent public universities, even as the statewide proportion of 19-year-olds who were black increased.
Minority enrollment fell at the University of Washington after voters approved a ban on affirmative action. The effect was less clear at Washington State University.
I can't even believe I had to do that for you.
And the last link should be a good eye opener for you on why affirmative action shouldn't be used especially at universities whede effort and work ethic should be what gets you ahead.
Now you can't be intellectually dishonest and pretend it doesn't exist.

None of those links proved WHY they dropped.
YOU WOULDNT EVEN ADMIT AA EXIST!
You can't tell the truth at all!
Maybe their grades weren't as high and they were getting spots because of their skin color?
Seems to me like that's a direct indication of affirmative action failure.
Your so full of it.

Why was there a drop in Hispanic and black attendance after they got rid of affirmative action..
