| Diversity per se is not good nor necessary is just something nice. The only way to achieve justice, not mere diversity my friend, is by equality of rights nothing else. Affirmative action benefits primely rich blacks and reinforces that sentiment of onferiority of some people like Rev. Wright. |

| Do you have facts ... ( 3 months ago by Jaekto) |
| Do you have facts to back up your delusions, because if I'm not mistaken the number one group of people who have benefited from affirmative action are white women. Yes, you read that right: white women. They are the largest "minority" in America. One third of all businesses in the U.S. discriminate colored people, according to Ruth and Alfred Blumrosen. Where is this majority of rich blacks who are benefiting from affirmative action? |

| I'm not sure where you're going with this but you haven't brought up anything that challenges my argument. I did read an article Sowell wrote about rich black executives benefiting from government contracts, but he fails to recognize that affirmative action helps many more people than just blacks--as he and many other people would have us believe. The Purdue University Indianapolis has an interesting site on affirmative action myths that you should read. Also, learn how to speak proper English. |
| First of all ... ( 3 months ago by piomoa) |
| First of all affirmative action is unconstitutional because it violates the equality of opportunities. Second, if you are refering to women the most sexist and discriminatory position is that that states that women need an extra help to success in life. Finally, in november four more states will outlaw affirmative action. |

| Tim Wise needs to ... ( 3 months ago by dreicemoney) |
| Tim Wise needs to talk to the millions of poor struggling White People about "white privilege". Tim wise is nothing more than a fast talking con-man, that generalizes white and black people. The fact of the matter is there are thousands of wealthy privileged blacks, and there are millions of white people that are anything but privileged. affirmative action is based on generalizations, and goes against individual rights. But he's deceiving foolish young whites into believing his BS. |

| I know he doesnt talk about poor whites, that's part of the problem. He generalizes and cherry picks "facts" that fit his delusions/generalizations. He misses all the facts that contradict his absurdities. |
| no he talks about ... ( 3 months ago by ipwnorcs) |
| no he talks about poor whites, he says that the rich whites in this country invented the idea of white privilege to put the focus of the less advantaged against eachother instead of the ones that are actually screwing them, so please listen to him before you talk fool |
| he doesnt mention ... ( 3 months ago by dreicemoney) |
| he doesnt mention poor whites when he's pushing for affirmative action, dummy. That's when he likes to bring up all the "privileged" white people, using George bush jr as his example as if every white person has the same connections that bush has. 99.9% of white people DON'T even have connections of someone like Bush, yet elite whites are held as examples of "white privilege". affirmative action ignores the fact that there are millions of whites who arent getting so called white privilege, dummy |

| Cloaked! Indeed! There is a lot of "How dare a black person" mentality in this country. From Blacks and Whites! My job I guess is to create black privilege. and like the other races try to do the same thingwhites may be doing, but keep it cloaked too. But again, there is a lot of "Hey Black guy, you cant do this too/How dare black person" Mentality. |
