What I posted is less my opinion...I don't want to call it fact either, because I deduced it using common sense. Let's just call it common sense, based on the facts and the general "way things are"

Again, remember - there are people are are much more racist than yourselves (I hope! ) - alot of those are in hiring positions. As long as there is racism, there will be special "programs" to help even things out for minority Americans who wish to have a job, go to school, whatever.

Think it through. I'll give you one possible, realistic scenario:

Affirmative action goes away - fewer and fewer minorities (the ones to want jobs) cant get jobs that pay enough to support their families. They either go on public assistance or turn to crime. Maybe they will join an organization of other disgruntled minorities and cause trouble (NAACP???) Regardless, they become a burden on society.

I'd go so far to say that there are very very few whites (that want to work) who don't have a job at all due to a minority getting it in an AA move. Now, it's more likely that some whites don't have a job that they WANTED, or a promotion that they wanted, but they have jobs.

Just so you guys know, I had these feelings even before I married my wife, who happens to be Mexican. She was born here and didn't have the easiest life growing up (very poor). She remembers as a young child, going to school and not knowing English, which she learned (kids learn so quick). She went on to be a straight A student and aquired one of the scholarships you guys are bitching about - which was made specifically for minorities (as many grants and such are) and went to USF. She now works a respectable corporate job and I don't think it's a stretch to say that she makes more than most of you...I know she makes more than me

My point is - she's accomplished and making a difference in her workplace...a working piece of society. She makes a good living and the Govt gets their investment back via taxes, instead of being a burden on society.
