I agree the system is stacked against minorities from the beginning. And this was what AA sought to address, to try to afford them the same oppurtunities despite the fact that they are discriminated against, and the deck is 'stacked' against them so to speak.
Your goal for education in schools etc. is noble and ideal. And it was supposed to be happening in Parallel with AA. Perhaps you can investigate and let us know why it was *not* happening. But in the short term, when AA is removed minorities suffer and cannot earn enough wealth or positions of authority to make a difference to the other members of their communities. Which means that in the short term these minorities are going to suffer inordinately whilst your lofty goal of education and changing things 'from the inside out' takes place.Which is unacceptable. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Affirmative action is a hack, it isn't a long term fix, it was a short term idea that many thought would be gone by now. The long term fix starts long before people even thing about getting a job. I don't know if you aren't reading what I'm saying, but you always seem to ignore my comments, I've offered a solution, my solution is much harder, will take more time, and take more money. There is a problem, it goes far beyond employment, it goes deeper into drug laws, and other things that occur in minority communities. These things have to be addressed. The entire system is stacked from the beginning in such a way that makes it very hard to get out of it. If you know me, you know I'm exactly the most liberal person there is, however I recognize a problem here, I think we can fix the problem. But it is going to go far beyond what AA can do. We have to fix society. I think AA prevents us from addressing the real problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144900 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
