The current implementation of AA is part of the problem. It promotes discrimination, the reverse of the discrimination it fights, but discrimination none the less. Until there is a proper implementation, AA must go.

(WAS: playing the race card) Great. So put forward a solution that would fight the 'root' of it. And until that solution starts to work, we have Affirmative action. When the upper power echelons of business and education have a more homogenous makeup perhaps we would not need Affirmative Action. However any removal of the system currently is premature for that goal. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wouldn't the solution be to the attack the people or institutions that are propagating the problems you cite? Wouldn't a more permanent future solution be to gradually educate young Americans about tolerance, and racial equality? Wouldn't this help to remove the cancers that currently exist, while preventing future cancers through education? Where do Affirmative Action programs fit in with these solutions? You seem to think the problem is that without affirmative action, Whites in a position of power won't be forced to hire or promote minorities. I tend to think the problem is that Whites are in a position of power who would think twice about hiring or promoting minorities. If AA programs fight the symptoms of racism, why shouldn't we fight the root of it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144891 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
