Until a better program comes around, AA.
Any suggestions?

I suggest AA for sports teams too then, might as well be even handed, right?

You are not reading me at all. You are seeing only what you only want to see.
How about you finally give me a courtesy of a solution better than AA? How do you ensure racial equality in all the best places?

Lemme get this right:

Naughty racist words - BAD
Government sponsored racism - GOOD

Have the government do nothing except ensure that no individual's rights are violated.  

There's your better program.

What Tarmac said, but with one more thing to add.


Make sure the same amount of money goes to all students K through 12.


No more poor schools getting the shaft while schools in white neighborhoods prosper.

Sounds good, how is it enforced and monitored?

Someone has a complaint, it's investigated.  Charges can be brought in criminal (requiring guilt beyond a reasonable doubt) or civil (preponderance of evidence) court.

AA affects only a percentage of the hiring/placement for white people,


Once again you rationalize racism because it only affects "a few" white people.  WTG!

I thought I had you on the right path..... my mistake.

Like I've previously stated, enjoy your AA, the wounds of racism will remain open, unhealing, and festering as long as it is in place.

Unless I read wrong, you favor racist goverment policies, which would pretty much make you a racist.

I think maybe you are a just a bad troll though.  :)
