Brilliant idea. Except that you'd then only let po' folk in and no one
would be paying any tuition. Priviledged white kids should have a
chance too, but there's no reason it can't be made a bit more
competitive for them since they've had all the advantages of being
white. Sort of like handicapping in golf. I never hear of the
anti-affirmative action people protesting golf.

Isn't that redundant? <snicker>

Detroit is one of those area where the metro area might expand to the
point of surrounding the previous small towns nearby, but it apparently
cannot annex them like you see here in Texas (especially around Houston)...

Yep. It demonstrates that you're an ignorant bigot.

The black kids/po folks I wnt to school with had every advantage I had.

No black "boys" end up playing in the NBA. They're all men. Boys is a
racist term. Girls isn't much better.

Darned if I know. I figured you'd have the statistics right at hand.
You're the one claiming they are so disadvantaged, not me. I'm the one that
favors race and religion neutral opportunities based only on willingness and
ability. You're the one promoting favoritism for the few.

I didn't at the time I went to school, which is what we were taking about.

Really. OK, what are the satistics in government? What percentage of the
people in government are minorities? How does that percentage relate to the
percentage of qualified people? You are aware that most government jobs
require a relatively high level of education, right? How are all these
miniorities getting these jobs if they have no chance for a good education?
What are the ratios of promotions to population for minorities and others?
Which minorities and others are getting the most promotions? What are
equally qualified minorities doing, and how much are they making for doing
it?

> It's much harder to apply discrimination laws in the private sector.

I think you need to go back and look at the anti discrimination laws a bit
closer. I think you'll find, as with many laws, that the government,
itself, is generally pretty much excluded from them. It is, in fact, much
easier to apply discrimination laws in the private sector.

By the way, you are aware that most government jobs, mine for sure, require
applicants to be US citizens, right? How many of your illegal immigrants do
you suppose hold high level jobs in the government you think can easily
apply discimination laws?

Please provide cites of the laws that give white kids the advantage.

Please send me all your money so I can redistribute it to the oppressed, be
cause your minority just happens to be one that has one of the highest
percapita education and income levels of any of the "oppressed minorities."
Call your Asian American friends and tell them to sent their funds as well.
They're doing even better than your ethnic group.

Let me know when to expect the checks.

I'm confused. Which is that, your money or your power?

So, you favor the majority over the minority. You do know that women are a
majority in our population and in the work force, right? You also know
that, historically, it's been white women who have taken advantage of their
position, to the exclusion of both men and women of all other ethnic groups,
right?

A racist remark if I ever saw one. All are of color. Some just want to
choose which color is favored (you). I prefer equality, another of the
rights our country intended to guarantee.
