to be fair, it is a pretty traditional American value to try to hold down minorities in the name of equality.

So no answer? Because it is hilarious that you are trying to argue there was a time race was not a factor in college admission.

I disagree, depending on how far back you want to go. Sure, prior to the 1960s, absolutely. But since Affirmative Action, which you might be able to consider an 'american tradition" for the past almost 50 years, I feel there has been more than 'equal opportunity" for "everyone".....and it's actually going past the point now of the original objective.

Yep racism in America is dead. In fact things have swung the other way. Where America is racists towards white people

Actually, if you want to add white "conservative", you would be pretty accurate. .Especially on college campuses.

Some say manafort got a little white wealth affirmative action yesterday.

Oh come on. Name one major University that is being over run by minorities taking slots from whites. Even if it is occurring you're probably talking about a fairly small number of students. If you're white and not getting into the University you wanted to the overwhelming likelihood is you just weren't good enough and/or a shit ton of Asians who were better qualified took your place :)

So you think that since the Civil Rights Law was passed a switch just flipped and bam, You get equality, you get equality and you get equality.

Blacks are a little over 12% of the population, since 1999 there have only been 16 black CEO in charge of Fortune 500 companies. Currently there are only 3 black CEO's. As of May 2018, there are 16 female CEO's, none of them are black, while females make up a little over 58% of the population.

This has been over 50 years and these are the current numbers. I think you're quite out of touch with reality.

Each day is what you make of it so make it the best day possible.

Not really related to this per se but I wonder where things are now in football? Arguably sport being more merit based than something like business.

I'm old enough to remember when there were few if any black QBs and there were arguments about black QBs not being "leaders" or smart enough for the position. Not to mention coaches.

Dem blacks is too stupid to throw a football.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

You mean you are a teenager?

On Sept. 16, Onalaska (Texas) Independent School District superintendent Lynn Redden, who is white, responded to a Facebook post about the Houston Texans’ loss to the Tennessee Titans, which ended after an error by Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson on the final play, by stating: “When you need precision decision making you can’t count on a black quarterback.”

Exactly. White QBs never make poor decisions.

Paul LePage the ex-governor of Maine even went one better. They raised (maybe adopted?) a Jamaican kid. It was his go to when he was accused of being racist.

You may seen him in the news in recent weeks where, paraphrasing here, he basically said we need to maintain the Electoral College as is so whites can retain control of the country.

I don't think you know what the word accurate means, you seem to mean inaccurate.

And why do you think that is? Because those big bad white males still practice racial and sexist discrimination? Really? In this day and age with discrimination lawyers standing on every street corner and BLM just waiting to come in and demonstrate? Does the NFL with 70% black players still discriminate against blacks because there are only 6-7 black qbs and only 6-7 black coaches? Or do you think they practice the american tradition/value of hiring the most qualified person for the job......oh wait, you can't do that anymore. Who's going to be the first to tell me Kap doesn't have a job simply because he is black. Those NFL owner meanies.

I would agree with him if he considers "conservative" to mean "rural/poor."

I think studies show that whites/asians are over represented in college compasses vs. blacks/Hispanics (under represented).

However, I think this is due to social-economic standards just in general being harder for people with less means. More recently, minorities can get a bump on their application (whether there is this socio-economic divide or not), while white/poor america does not. I think colleges have adjusted "diversity" applications to include economic status.

If he is arguing that there are more liberal whites on college campuses vs. conservative whites on college campuses (which I dont know if this is true, most kids lean more liberal). Then I think that would be because liberal whites performed better than conservative whites, seeing how they are most likely grouped together and are competing against each other for X amount of slots. This would go against his arguments though of wanting things to be done for merit.

And some would say that the Judge recognized the witch hunt and recognized the harm the crime caused and penalized it appropriately.

Do you know about the Rooney Rule? You really have no clue of which you speak.

Each day is what you make of it so make it the best day possible.

Traditional american values and google search. I continue to work may way through the google book of records so what I offer is still half assed.

The qualifier traditional so far has not been pinpointed into a standard accepted by some, all or many. Best I can come up with are the Bible, Ten Commandments, Our Constitution and Declaration of Independence as guides. For most part all values are of a social construct. There is a listing of 10 Core Republican values of which 3 are about government and the last 7 social.

Currently my take away with TAV is that it is Judeo-Christian centric exclusively, there is little discussion on morality and compassion except with distinction to the value human life, and one can read between the lines a racist code speak (see the above debate on college admissions).

I hope with continued study to become more enlightened about how I should accept traditional values as a standard I might want to re-adopt and cease evolving.

Seriously, if there is an author or group whose writings are best, could you please steer me in their direction. As you and the others are so well aware, the google is almost infinitely vast and there is some fake ass trolling within it. If one is not savvy, he can come up with bullshit propoganda as his bible.

Traditional American Values: Screw Multiple Porn Stars when your wife is home with your newborn, pay them off and then talk like this:

"I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look....I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything....Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.
