Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1402552It's also easy for them to nit-pick over such trivialities as grammar and syntax to ignore a valid point. Such things are not trivial in the business world. A man who speaks proper English sounds professional, and that reflects on the company itself. I would not, for example, hire a lawyer whose grasp of English was so poor -- especially if English was his first (and only) language. hey,you elected a bumbling idiot, who cant speak or write his name, as president.... Canada does not have a President. canada,india,australia,UK,france are irrelevant to our discussion.Only USA counts. |

Yall think that just cuz we black we get everything free and all the jobs and all the promotions. that shit aint true,switch places wit a african, yall still wont hire him or promote him, so whats the difference Honestly, I wouldn't hire or promote anyone who wrote that paragraph (unless it was in the warehouse, etc.). Proper grasp of the English language is important in the job market. this is not the job market Trevor My response was in regard to the sentence in bold. He can assume he is not promoted because of his skin colour, but chances are, it has more to do with his lack of English skills. |

Are you freakin' kidding me? A black with 600-600-600 SATs would probably get into an Ivy League college. A white or asian kid with 700-700-700 might not. The difference between those two scores is extremely vast. Are all your other statements as laughable as that one? Do you honestly think that a college admissions officer, given the choice of accepting either Becky Smith and Shanté Jenkins - both girls with the same SAT scores, high school GPA, and extra-curriculars - wouldn't choose Becky? If so, you're delusional. becky smith will be preferred over shante Becky Smith will be an overrepresented majority, a white female. They have the hardest time of all getting into college. (The only case I know where men get a better break than women from "the system".) She'll get in somewhere but it will probably be somewhere she never wanted to consider. And will watch Shante go off to a top school, chatting with her friends from the Black Student Union about their Ivy League acceptances. .

SecretSquirrel User ID: 880690 United States 05/27/2011 02:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can't help myself, so here goes......... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13005941. American Black people are mainly descendants of peoples who were taken from their homelands (mainly because their own people including tribal chiefs sold them or traded them) and enslaved for multiple generations over hundreds of years (just like other people in US that were enslaved through the centuries, like Irish and Scottish). Whites who purchased slaves were the criminals not tribal chiefs.Whites were violent,cruel,dirty,pathetic people.Plus their religion focres them to have slaves. 2. Systematic indoctrination and "dumbing down" made certain that the future of the cultures and peoples taken would never again be of great intellectual or socioeconomic significance (School is too hard and you won't let us get a diploma with a 60 average so you better lower your standards. / Not to mention all of the free monies for higher education that are available to black youth for several decades now ..... [link to scholarships.fatomei.com] Below average whites get into top universities (like george bush-yale)just because of money and connections.Universities prefer whites over blacks. 3. Institutionalized segregation from higher education opportunities and/or employment (again, see comments above )create incredible adversity for those of us who want so badly to change our predetermined poverty and perceived ignorance. (And yes, affirmative action helped but now reverse racism is just as bad) This is not reverse racism.This is social adjustment.Whites should not always be centre of universe 4. Although there are many of us who have and will continue to make wonderful situations and opportunities of our lives, there are a vast many more who will never even know what it means to have conviction or determination, let alone even be able to spell the words> (Conviction and determination is a self driven human emotions, has nothing to do with lack of because of the need to find someone at fault for not having it) When economic opportunities are denied,people lose their determination.The economy is controlled by whites for whites.Other races just get scraps. 5. American black people are due reparations no matter what has become of the completely beaten down group of peoples who were originally enslaved and stolen from their lands. (Uh, I think they died centuries ago along with the slave owners.) I think,we should get a separate state in america,only for blacks. and one final point. 6. Most of the people who make comments about the activities, decisions or actions of American Black people, commonly have no contact with black people or an educated and experience-driven opinion worth listening to.(Most of us have had plenty of contact, thus the reason for our statements). Yes,your girlfriends and wives have contact with many of us but not you. In closing, I have no need to call names or point fingers, you who have made racist comments have done plenty of that. We are one race of beings and really need to start realizing that those of us who are systematically kept in certain socioeconomic and cultural positions deserve a little more understanding.(Translation, you all keep giving us everything we want and then some, so we won't call Jackson or Sharpton on yo ass). In closing,i say whites are the most dangerous aberration evolution has produced I see you are from India. Go eat with your left hand! Never underestimate the power of the power of suggestion! |

Actually, at least for admission to competitive schools, it's tough for white (and probably also asian) girls. The only place I know of that's tough for white girls, but that is tough. Girls do so much better in k-12 education, they are competing with each other to get into college, while boys generally have at least worse grades and have acquired some bumps and bruises in the system that demands female behavior from them, so they're allowed to be less than perfect.

They only got support AFTER so many of them were doing well that the rest (politics, the law system and the media) had no choice but to come on board and accept them. Those first women had it the hardest as they had no support at all, as well as a lot of them having to raise kids at the same time as study and work to break through.
