When I graduated from high school back in 1958, there were several of my classmates that attended Northern Colleges that were predominately white, and even my mother was offered the chance to get her masters at NYU. however she settled for Atlanta University. There was no quota system, nor an Affirmative Action program back then.As far as I'm concerned, Affirmative Action to me, means that you're NOT smart to compete against regular White and Asian students.
Well in my experiences with whites they are not as smart as they would like for us to believe. Another one of those false illusions they toss out to retain their superiority. And as long as we buy into it they will continue to do so. Look at the political arena over the last 25+ years look at the Corporate world. Dumb ass white men pushing their false illusions onto John/Jane Q public as fact......really?

That's why I am adamant about no such thing as an expert....don't care what color you are. I've seen some CEO's and COO's do some pretty stupid shit in the name of "educated" people. The past CEO @ Sprint comes to mind...of course he was only interested in the green stuff and went down the tube trying to get it and took the company with him....surprisingly enough he is a Jew. The CEO @ H&R Block same damn thing....and they are about as close to bankruptcy as anyone would care to get. Spent BIG bucks trying to get into the home/business mortgage field and lost their asses. Bought a mortgage company that was already in the red which never even got to pink.

Did it ever occur to you that the affirmative action wasn't really real but just a disguise for racism? For a need to create an illusion of blacks being less intelligent? I mean, for hundreds of years, white societies been striving to make themselves appear un-linked to and more intelligent than blacks.

And let us not forget how they made black men look like brainless idiots in every motion picture from the 70's through 90's.
I concur , but it isn't getting any better. Over the years I've heard of the poverty stricken, the bottom of the barrel, the sub-culture, the absent parents, and a bunch of other stuff, and it always seems to me, that others are making excuses for the "downtrodden", I ask, what did that solve? Some Negroes seems to delight in proving to whites that, I can dance real good, sing real good, play sports real good, but that's all I can really do.

The way I see it,

Human arrogance, vanity, and egotism is what's really got the whole human social structure messed up. And people are doing more suffering in illusions set up than what's really real. As for instance, people are pressured by other people to feel bad about themselves if they didn't go to college.

But truth, it's an illusion because people with degrees are suffering in poverty like everybody else, and there's plenty of people who never went beyond the 8th grade who became rich on their own intelligence and talent. My point, is that there's a way to success for everyone, and there's nothing written in stone that everybody has to succeed in the same way.

So I do not buy into any of these illusions set up claiming this or that.
