Considering there were groups in the U.S. who were treated far worse than American blacks during slavery, I think the diversity-oriented mongrels in this thread should put their foot in their mouth and stop playing to the ethnic entrepreneurs who propagate such lies regarding American "racism." I put "racism" in quotes because it is largely a manufactured, exploitative tool used to divide and conquer. Obama has done his fair share in this election, but he's been leagues better than America's favorite bacterial infection: Jesse Jackson. There is no more racism in America anymore than there is in Norway, China, or Kyrgyzstan. In fact, America is probably one of the most tolerant nations on Earth. Its easy to say that when your white I'm white. I'm always discriminated against. Affirmative Action proves it. Thats easy to say when your born with a white spoon in your mouth but hold on I understand Im a whiteboy too. Its upsetting when you dont get everything you want as if its your born right.

You apparently dont know what slavery is. Child molestation,kidnapping,murder and rape were all parts of slavery. Do you support that? Then what the heck are you talking about? Okay Im a whiteboy too so I know what your probably gonna say next. Tell me about your "Native American" ancestors or about your ancestors werent here when slavery was going on, yeah yeah bla bla bla, Ive been hearing that song and dance for years. I'm part Native American, and I'm discriminated against as well. Affirmative Action proves it. I know your "part Native American" Im a white boy too, We all say that dontcha know. And you left out the part about your ancestors not living in this country when there was slavery. Gotta remember that one

I don't know why slavery is being brought up, it was banned in the 1860's, that is 150 years ago.... Why not Protest the revolutionary war while you are at it.

Okay I'll take the bait. Whats your problem with affirmative action? EOE/AA is an oxymoron...you can't be both. If you are Equal Opportunity, you will hire anyone regardless of race, gender, ethinicity, etc. as long as they are qualified for the job. If you are Affirmative Action, you only are interested in hiring minorities, hence, you don't want to hire the right person for the job. You are more interested in hiring as a bias. Hence AA is discrimination. In other words....Affirmative Action proves it.

Its because a lot of people wouldnt hire minorities (allowing them a chance at decent living) if they could get away with it and it used to be worse in the past because things were more segregated.

That's not the case now, so why have it? Why are the Liberals pushing it year after year after year? Why can't things be made simple? Make it all equal opportunity.....I don't know, maybe the simplicity isn't what people want...it just seems like it would work better that way... Know why? Because Affirmative Action proves it.

I understand what your saying Space but unfortunately it still is a problem. Its getting a little better with each generation but discrimination in hiring still exists, and everybody deserves the right to have an opportunity to earn a decent wage and pursue a dream. It would be much much worse without affirmative action.

It would be much much worse without affirmative action. I disagree, fo rone very simple reason: Age discrimination. I spent 6 years in ocean rescue. I spent 6 years as a police officer. I am currently in the US Navy. I run an average of 3 miles every other day along with 100 sit ups and 100 push ups. Yet, Fire Departments in Texas will not hire me because I am too old, yet I can do things a lot more than most guys half my age. I call that discrimination. Yet, i can't do anything about it because it is written in law. Plus, in addition, I see a lot of minorities as Fire Cheifs, Captains etc, yet white guys/girls can't seem to get past the rank of Leiutenant. Yep...Affirmative Action proves it.

Where I live its tough to find a good job and its even tougher if you are black. I look at my community and this is a fact, although there isnt any racial tension. Its like Mayberry. And the fire chief here is white. The entire fire department is white and almost all of the cops. It may be different where you live I just gotta tell the truth as I see it even though Im white too

Having worked in the LAPD and now with the Sheriff's Department and Fire Department I can see how Affirmative Action is destroying them. I don't know how many of you know about the Rampart scandal that hit LAPD several years ago, but those Officers involved were hired as a direct result of lowering standards to hire minorities. It's just a fact.

Amen Mirror White folks have absolutely no NO understanding of discrimination in this country. The reverse discrimination is a racist tool to further their sick agenda.

Slavery is the root problem that created alot of the problems today. There are still whites who feel they own this country and should have control. They will stop at nothing to keep this control. Their is still people in this country who discriminate when hiring, doing business, where they live, etc... Until the playing field is even and equal there will be issues here.
