Why can't we get affirmative action in basketball and other sports?

I'm not really trying to be funny there.  Anyone who agrees with affirmative action has to look at the question above.  What is the answer?  If we tried to enstate a certain number of white guys per team, it probably wouldn't be as good and completetive.  Only the best play on those professional teams, and they happen to be BLACK.

Same with a job.  An employer is hiring 5 people.  What if a 100 white people apply for a job 1 black person does?  What if each of those 101 individuals were given tests, and let's just say for instance that all the white people scored 90% and the black guy scored 15%.  According to affirmative action, this employer MUST hire a black person, so he hires the top 4 white guys who scored 90, and the black guy who scored 15.  Is that fair to the fifth white guy who also scored 90?

^^^^I'm just using that as an example, so I don't want people saying that I think a black person is inferior or will always be inferior when it comes to applying for a job.  That is just an example of why I think affirmative action is bullshit.

--- Quote from: Overseer on December 10, 2004, 07:01:31 AM ---the driving out thing is basically the harrassment of the "different" people in the area.. this goes on regardless... even in fully white areas some people end up as targets... a small white population in an asian area will be targetted by asian youths just like how a small asian population in a white area is in some cases.

That is a good example of Asian privilege. Unfortunately in the US, black privilege and latino privilege are out of control....that is, the idea that society owes them something because of the color of their skin.

White priviliege, hmm I live in a trailor park full of crackheads, i make $9.00 an hour. I go to a college that I pay for myself therefore i am dead broke. I had to sell my car to go to college so I don't have a car. I get pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 when im just going the same speed as traffic.
