Pish, J only wants to waste YOUR time. Get wise.
I am not a troll.
I am here just like everyone else,
interested in good intelligent conversation
and to learn about others' opinions and let people read mine as well.

These institutions, many of the PUBLIC, treat individuals differently based on their race. Affirmative Action is, at best, a necessary evil; but it's evil, nonetheless. American History my ass. Anyway, who the @#!* picks an attorney based on their race. I'd love to see some a-hole say I want a black/white/hispanic/asian attorney. You want the BEST attorney, not the one who was the most "disadvantaged" growing up.It's a crock of sh*t and it doesn't help anyone, especially minorities. American history. Go cry about it. That'll help the world. *sigh*Listen newbie, I would love to give you the time of day but I really can't waste my time with such poorly structured (and inflammatory) arguments. Look it over and try again.Catch yah later!

Seriously, you're a f-ing dork.
Wow, this whole thread is incredibly offensive. Where do you people come from? Do any of you know any black people personally or do you just see them on tv? Read a book, educate yourselves or try to see this from a black person's POV. I think if you walked that proverbial 'mile in the shoes' of a black person, you may feel differently. I am an educated black woman (not another "angry black woman", if that's what you were thinking) and I have never personally benefitted from Afirmative Action. Some of your comments on this thread could be considered racist.
