The last remaining institutionalized racism in the US is affirmative action.
Those that support it are truly racist.
That is true, and they are the ones who call everyone else a racist. Besides aa we have racist policies at colleges and universities, racist quotas for hiring enforced by the dept of injustice and other things. Collectively I call this "black privilege"

You were trying to justify AA because of "institutionalized racism".

I was agreeing with LDS that affirmative action is racist and disagreeing with his claim that it's the "last remaining institutionalized racism in the U.S."

Sure. A few of the first ones that come to mind:
1. De facto segregation in k-12 districts throughout the south 2. Separate but (un)equal segregation in correctional facilities throughout the nation 3. Sentencing disparities in courts throughout the nation 4. Widespread disregard for resumes with "black-sounding names" 5. Police profiling ie. pulling someone over for "driving while black."

Nice try. (but not really)
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

As usual he just gives his opinions with nothing to back them up. Ho hum
Black privilege is established by law and written policies, its a fact. White privilege is a myth perpetuated by extreme liberals who want more of the welfare state.

hey Enlil, i was reading the forum rules a minute ago, and its seems that flaming is prohibited here, but racism is not.
just to be clear, does that mean i could catch a ban for telling someone to "eat a bowl of black dicks", but not for saying
"Its not just the cumulative effects of past racism that hold black people back, though. You fail to take into account the inferiority of the genes of black people. These shitty genes make shitty brains, and as such, black people are much stupider and that's why they can't amount to much."?
like i said, i'm not saying WAN or Stonehenge should eat a bowl of dicks, but if i was, that would be against the rules right?

If your only participation in a thread amounts to "lol who cares about the topic you brought up" then maybe you should have just kept your mouth shut. It's less annoying that way.

There's been a bunch of direct and indirect personal attacks in this thread. Considering the quality of posts in the politics forum I wouldn't be surprised if the moderation policy falls under 'pretend it doesn't exist' or 'ignore it until it goes away'.

It's been that way for a little while in this forum. And it's been consistently getting worse recently. I wouls personally like to see a little stricter moderating, because I think it would increase the quality of debate, but that's just my two cents.

Affirmative action is like treating minority's as ~special~ people.
I thought they wanted a level playing field, to be treated like people.
