Affirmative Action is now dead

[horninchicago]

And what I can't understand is how POC don't see this entire AA situation as a slap in their face, and racist itself.

The same way that when there is a primary in South Carolina, no one deems it racist, insulting, or a a slap in the face to every black South Carolinian that they will know whom to vote for based on whom that POS Jim Clyburn (D) endorses.

Otherwise, they cannot be expected to learn the issues and make the decision on their own. Nothing racist about that.

HornFans is kinda like a post post post grad course on study of words you didn't know you needed to know.

Do you really need to look that up?

Don't be a douchecanoe.

this year it is chiefly Black and Latino students who want a shot at the economic opportunity that can come from a college degree.

Those morons are still pimping the blanket idea that a college education offers upward mobility.

IF that proposition is true, then why are so many students of all races finding it difficult to impossible to pay back student loans?

How about we step back and take a good, critical, long look at the actual value, or lack thereof, offered by the majority of degree programs on campuses nationwide? How about we address the erosion of rigor in many of these programs, leading to people with Bachelor's diplomas that are most useful as an emergency supply of toilet paper?

Having that piece of paper doesn't get you anywhere in the real world any more. Employers have been burned too often by snotty, know-it-all people armed with a diploma yet totally lacking in common sense, who wind up as worse employees than less "educated" people who are eager to be trained.

The real discussion needs to be centered on having students assess the real value of any degree program they are considering. You want to be an accountant, an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer? University programs might be worth the financial cost to attain the necessary degrees. But if you intend to spend $100,000K on Wymxn's Studies, or any of the plethora of useless "_________ Studies" out there, your parents, your guidance counselor, your true friends and allies need to step up and slap some financial sense into you before you make an enormous mistake.

at Jemele trying to convince anyone blacks fought for Asian rights.

She is confusing "fought for Asian rights" with "surprise attack and beat the crap out of innocent little old Asian ladies". The two are really closely related, so let's cut poor Jemele some slack, OK?

Didn't Florida stop AA or "diversity advantage " considerations for All public colleges and universities? I think the demographics reflected the populations
IIRC the national standingss by is it US News and World. actually increased
When I have time I will look for that

 

[guy4321]

Florida probably did. However, places get around no AA by using a "holistic" approach for admissions. I know UT did that for graduate programs in the 2000s and 2010s. That way the program admissions never has to explain what it takes to get in.

It was interesting that the day after rulings from Supreme Court that Demx did not like they announced plans to circumvent admission ruling and in the case of student loan rulling advising borrowers to just not pay.
Demx thumb noses at rulings of our highest court.

Would you expect anything less from our dear Demx neighbors?

John Roberts left the door open by saying that it is possible to include situations where someone's race led to discrimination, hardship, and opposition in their life which they had overcome.

most of the "healthcare disparity" is linked to this...."The RCM also said that women giving birth later in life and rising levels of obesity are placing even more demand on midwives, as both patients and babies require more complex care."

Obesity is what is making the US maternal mortality rate higher than other developed nations and it is what is making the black population higher than other races within the US. I can't find stats to back this up but i also believe that the degree of obesity is a large factor here. When i see black overweight women they are often REALLY overweight. not a few pounds but 60-80 pounds. I think the degree of obesity greatly increases these negative health outcomes.

still dumb in my opinion to say "yeah, he put CONSERVATIVES on the court". We want SCOTUS to apply laws not create them. that is not the same thing. Every time some pol says "we need conservative judges" they are fanning the flames to pack the court down the road.
