What is everybody's view of Affirmative Action?

its needed. its just a hard policy to implement, to where both sides feel it is fair. the playing field needs to be leveled for sure. but how do u go about it? how do u know, when the field is REALLY level?

Affirmative action is a crock of bull shit created by white guilt!

if me and a white dude where going for the same job. and the white dude was more qualified......i'd honestly expect and want him to get the job.

I judge people based on the content of their character, not on the color of their skin.

I'm pretty sure not everybody thinks like me however....

Affirmative Action is ridicolous, hypocrite and fucked up.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

seems fucked up to me... here we have some 'equal opportunties' laws...
which also count for disabled people.

it kinda has the same effect in some ways, because employers kinda feel guilty about not employing the impaired or the 'minority' even if they are less skilled... or if they're in fear of a case of discrimination being launched if someone fails to get a job.

Basically, Affirmative Action is a way of the law saying "Aw, you poor black guy.. we know you're not as smart or as well qualified as a white person, so here ya go, we're gonna give you a little extra push".

It's bullshit.  Blacks and minorities should see it as the racism it is.  It's not only racist AGAINST white people, it perpetuates the race problem, because it considers blacks and minorities as second class!  It basically says, literally, that minorities can't make it on their own, so it gives them something extra to make up for it.  What a crock.

They think they're solving the race problem, but what they're doing is compensating for it.  They're not taking care of the root problem, just making it even more complicated.

Talking about Affirmative Action in this forum is like talking about Quantum Physics. You guys don't have clue.

Have you guys ever thought about how broke down schools in black areas are?
Or about how unfairly funds for public school are distributed.

I don't have a problem with Universities taking the top 10% percent.

That's what I'm sayin'......If I was black, it would make me feel inferior that they had to make a law for me to get a job.  It should all be about qualifications....nothing else.  

----What's up with affirmative action in the NBA?

exactly, y'all. i don't want to get a job where my race pushed me over the edge.

first of all i'd feel bad for the other guy
second it would make me feel like a second class citizen
and third why would i want a law that makes racist employers higher people they hate.

Exactly. If you don't get the job it's for reasons such as this.

I was just making a point; people like you shouldn't worry about whether race had something to do with them not getting hired.
