Attacking legacy admissions is a poor way to defend affirmative action.
The attack on GWB is just a gratuitous strawman; I do suppose doing so brings some sort of mean pleasure to the spirits of the emotionally afflicted.

Yes.

Was there something else you wanted to say?

Because it was lost in the translation.

agreed. i am completely fine being passed over for a job if the other person can figuratively kick the snot out of my skills.


I knew a black guy at university. He was really bright. I dont know where he ended up, but I do know he is probably at the top by now. He did it with ability.

When I need to fly, get my teeth fixed, have a kids appendix taken out, or get anyone of thousands of other things done, I want a fully competent person to give the job too, especially say, where surgery and medicine are concerned.

I want to know the physician got A grades at infant school, and again at middle school. I want to know also that he got a first, or at least a 1:2 at university, and that he has good aptitude for his field. I want to know his IQ is way above normal.

I want the best in clinical excellence, not just for me, but for all of us.

I do not want some AA dreamer behind the scalpel, simply because his hide is a pleasing shade to liberal enablers.

I have read of AAA pupils denied access to med school, to make way for CDD pupils, where the AAA pupils were denied this because their hides were white. The CDD pupils were accepted because their hides were brown. This had pleased the liberal selectors.

If anyone thinks that this is progress, then they really must be the deluded fools I think they are.

Positive discrimination is foolish and dangerous. Descrimination based on ability is not only acceptable, but necessary for the common good.

If those with dark hides do less well against those with pale and fawn skin then so be it. Clearly others are more worth candidates. This is not an example of racism. This is an example of selecting the most able.

Sits back quietly drumming his fingers, awaiting to hear the ridiculous charges of - Racist, nazi, bigot etc etc



Would that be anything like a certain former President getting a legacy admission to Yale despite his subpar grades?

But hey, that Presidency thing is no big deal.

A child could do it.

Hell, an overgrown child did do it.

What he got to fly was an outdated piece of junk while he was protecting Texas from the VietCong.

Privilege?  Sure.   Hey, all Colin Powells kid got for a bone, was head of FCC.  Thats how them white folk will do you.

Uhhhhhhhh........................because he is?

A spoiled child whose Daddy was President and whose Granddaddy was a Senator.

A spoiled child who spent most of his life drunk but received prestigious positions because of his family connections.

A spoiled child who did not have the credentials to be admitted into Yale or Harvard but nevertheless was because of his family name.

A spoiled child who became the Decider without having a clue what he was doing.

A spoiled child who sank this country into the worst recession since the Great Depression.

A spolied child who used Daddy's connections to avoid Vietnam yet involved us in two wars.

All as mature and useful as admitting that 0bama0 is our first affirmative action president.

Frankly Truckin I would classify you in the same category as the Decider.

Were you not just recently telling us of how you fired employees because they voted for someone you disliked.

And you want to talk to me about maturity?

Attacking legacy admissions is a poor way to defend affirmative action.
The attack on GWB is just a gratuitous strawman; I do suppose doing so brings some sort of mean pleasure to the spirits of the emotionally afflicted.




Then explain to me how legacy admissions differ.
