What are you implying? Please explain to me why you do not complain about the abuse of people in other countries.

Ok fine.
Affermative Action is not racist because intent has a good portion in that claim.
AA was a program established in a time most young disgruntled white boys weren't alive to remember and don't recognize the intensity of what was going on less than 40 years ago.
The program has worked although I think at this stage in the game, the true victims are those who are in poor areas (rural as well as Urban).
The schools recieve money mostly from the personal property tax in the area, which means the richer the area the richer/better the schools.
This transends race and in the transition period in which I would like to see national and state school reform on a major scale, I would propose that AA be afforded for college to areas that have been lackluster in performance and ability.
As for AA in the workplace, I find that minorities have quite a bit of legal power in the past 15 years at least. I don't feel that blanket policies apply any more, but rather to let the judicial system take care of the individual problems (which incidentally I think they are already taken to the courts, not always successfully though).
That's my thoughts.
As for WET. If you get Cable, your TV channels are not even as "diverse" as our country it.
Most everything is white entertainment television, unless you see Friends, Martha Stewart, M.A.S.H, Cheers, and Extreme Makeovers as "ethnic" shows.

I guess colonel won't reply to that becuase he truly doesn't know what he is talking about. Again, I will say this. Colonel, you said that we should pay for 400 years of oppression. Myself and others have called you out on this statement. Why don't you give us a chance to see where you are coming from. How should we "PAY"?
Are you happy living in america? Maybe you feel like it would be easier living in the "Mother Land". I don't know where your beef with the very people who gave you freedom comes from, but it is misguided along with most every other thought I have heard from you. There are still slaves in the world today. You should focus your hatred and anger towards the people who are enslaving people today. Otherwise, you are a hypocrit that is just looking for a handout from americans with money. There is no other way to look at it. If you hate it here in america so bad......go to another country where things are better.
