I just love how a certain segment of the population has so much energy for this. Ask them about equal funding and quality of teachers for poor black black and brown students and the grade school level though and they scream socialism. If they put as much energy into slandering black and brown college applicants as they did fixing public education, race guided admissions wouldnt be as needed.
Saying college admission and jobs should be based on merit is not slandering anyone. You're whining about nothing.
Public education should absolutely be fixed and private education and school choice should be more attainable. A kid shouldn't have to fight a losing battle in a shitty school just because of where he lives.
Trumps america has their priorities outta wack and that's why I call bullshit. if you plug your ears to minority grade school education inequality, yet scream for a merit only based college admissions process (when has it ever been that btw? things outside of academic performance have been considered since forever), you're telling on yourself. You would think those whining about all those unqualified blacks getting into college over Band Camp Becky would be interested in fixing the root of their issue, but here we are...
Why should unqualified people of any race get in over more qualified people? If fewer whites are qualified than blacks, who cares? The more qualified blacks would deserve to get in. Race, sex, orientation should have absolutely no bearing on the admission process. Why the fuck would it?
It really seems like you think the only way blacks can get in is if it isn't merit based. Are you worried that if it is merit only, blacks won't cut it?
I'm not. Because blacks have more opportunity to succeed (and be rich) in this country now than ever before. Poor blacks are working their way through school and focusing on their education and making it. Or dominating in sports and earning scholarships for it. And that's a great thing because the merit is there.
Advocating for decisions based on race rather than character and merit is counterproductive and that's what you're doing.
If you want to fix the problems in the black community then fix them. If you want to help them earn their own way and rise above a past of oppression, then more power to you because it is for the benefit of everyone that those who deserve to do well do well.
But making race based decisions isn't doing anyone any favors and only serves to manipulate people into thinking you care about them
Qualifications dont fucking matter. Skin tone, money, and connections are what matters to the shits in power. ---
