I would love to see, in my lifetime, affirmative action dismantled.

It's segregation honed to an art.

Ms Fisher, IMO, was discriminated against.

Hope she makes enough to pay her education and start her with a solid foundation in the real world.




I hope justice is found, if indeed her denial was only due to race, she deserves it

I still think it will be hard to prove,,,

affirmative action is segregation? really?

a: the separation or isolation of a race, class, or ethnic group by enforced or voluntary residence in a restricted area, by barriers to social intercourse, by separate educational facilities, or by other discriminatory means



who is being isolated exactly?


with a 10:1 wealth gaps between whites and blacks?
with 90 percent of government grants going to whites?
with 85 percent of management jobs in the private sector?
to consistently have whites with nearly HALF the unemployment rate of blacks?

with blacks and latinos stopped up to three times as much in their vehicle as whites although whites are more than three times as likely to actually HAVE drugs when stopped?


with blacks being less likely to have access to or be placed in Honors types classes as whites, even when the test scores are comparable

yeah, I can see why that AA is SOOO THreatening to so many and why the blind continue to compare it to institutional racism,,,
