You earn $100. You get to keep $90. You earn $100,000. You get to
keep
$90,000. Which would you pick?


Dumb example. People who choose to ignore an education and/or are
lazy
don't have the option to choose a $100K income.

or they could be black, jewish, women, latino, etc.


Uneducated black, Jewish, women, Latino, etc. I worked in the
Silicon
Valley as an engineer. Lots of Jewish, Black and Latino coworkers
making in
excess of $100k. All had university educations. Lots of black,
Jewish,
women, Latino, etc.

i did my grad work at lehigh. they didn't admit women until '71.
neither did princeton. there's still alot of bias in the system


Can one imagine the howling if I set up a institution with the same
funding like UNCF but called it UWCF?

Racism is a two sided coin and isn't always what it seems. In fact,
cries of racism are often crying wolf when there is no wolf. And the
disease where it exists is not limited to WASPs, in fact some of the
worst racism I have ever seen whas not white initiated.


Them's blasphemous words around here, my friend. If there's the
slightest chance a post can be called 'racist', the libs here will do
so, unless a lib made the post, of course.
