Would AA make you less likely to hire a black lawyer/doctor?

of course, intelligence is not always a substitute for common sense.  being incredibly bright doesn't necessarily make you a better leader.

Neither does being functionally retarded.

god has this thread gone off a million tangents

[dbgirl]

Well the original thread topic wasn't so great either.

[Kittyl30]

yeah i found it actually to be a bit offensive..and im not a URM either

[coquita]

first of all my aunt was functionally retarded...and she was more articulate than Bush has ever been. and i am dead serious.

second of all, this thread has seriously been hijacked. i'm disappointed that both sides had to resort to name calling rather than sticking to an intellectual debate.

[dbgirl]

I don't think the theme of the thread lends itself to intellectual debate.
However, I agree that people on both sides have gotten a little out of control.

its like that rule: three things not to talk about on the first date

b/c people are so opinionated:

-religion
-politics
-past sex history


i think they should add "affirmative action" to taht list

[dbgirl]

Quick, look over there!

And yes, if my lips are moving, or my fingers are typing, odds are you shouldn't take what I say seriously.  Ever.

how would i know your fingers are typing?  i don't have a camera in your flat.

Uhuh. Sure you don't.

I would like to point out that i was the first person, before it was so hip, to tell petitdeleter to go @#!* herself.

In addition to not liking whities, she for some reason also hates mixed people.
Even though I think she's engaged to a white guy I don't know. It's way too confusing for me.
