The words affirmative action would have him rolling over in his grave.

Having been a victim of discrimination, he'd have welcomed a program
that'd help reintegrate blacks into mainstream society. That was what
affirmative action was meant to do. Like any policy, it probably
strayed a bit too far in one direction or another, but the basic
premise was a good one and worthy of pursuit.

We've come a long ways since "strange fruit" hung in the south for no
reason but we're by no means cured.

MLK said nothing about pushing folks to the head of the line because
they are black. He wanted equal oportunities based on character and
intelligence. It is a simple sentence and still you don't get it.

I'm not the one who doesn't get it. Whites still have an unfair
advantage in this country and you've got to be deaf, dumb and blind
not to recognize it.

You just don't want to admit it.

The thread started out about having to lower passing grade on tests so
folks with lower IQs could pass them. Once they are able to pass the
tests, the quotas kick in. So why bother with testing at all?

I didn't have the privilege of seeing the earlier posts. For some
reason, rec.boats was brought in later in the thread.
