Its not intended to be so, yes, but in reality it is.

Having to give up your shot at a collage you have worked your whole life to get into because someone who is African American wants that same spot and his grades are only slightly lower then yours.

How are they poorly dressed?

If I am sporting my $80 FUBU jeans, which were designed to ride low, and my $150 Nikes, and $2500 worth of gold chains and gold teeth, I have a very put together and deliberate look.

I am not "poorly dressed".  I may represent a different fashion than what you are accustomed to, but I am actually very well dressed.  You might as well criticize a Frenchman for wearing t-shirts that Americans would consider indecently tight.

I personally think that if the slaves were freed right away, they may have become sharecroppers for their old masters, or they could head into the west and claim land, and set up their own farms.

I would emediatly think that you lack culture and inteligence. To me that is almost on the verge of vulgar. Go to a museum exibit dressed like that. Or an opra or a play. You would get laughed at. Poorly dressed.

I would think that people who can't spell immediate or intelligence lack culture and intelligence. However, I would be wrong. As you would be in your assumption.

dbibeau, going to a play doesn't make you cultured or intelligent. Much less an opera.

Try wearing a pinstripe suit or a tuxedo to a barbershop in the hood.  That would also be poorly dressed.

The guy with low-riders doesn't LACK culture - he just has a DIFFERENT culture than yours.  Opera is not "more" cultured than "White Chicks" (the movie).  It is just different.

You are simply equating "different" with "inferior".

Sure it does. Thats what culture is. You enjoy different things from different cultures, enjoying traditions enjoyed by other nations. You start to cultivate yourself. Plus the social gatherings are sometimes fun, but often very boring.

Did you read my other post?  If so you might understand what I was saying . . .

If you didn't, I'll do it for you.  Imagine that same scenerio but that white boy that just got rejected has no ties to slavery other then he is white.

Still seem fair?

well its kind of true about affirmative action.  My friend is A+ certified to work on computers at like best buy or something.  And a black guy who was C+ certified and indeed was wearing the bagy fubu jeans, gold chains, and talking slang got the job because of affirmative action. I fail to see how this makes any sense. But my friend got a job somewhere else so im just stating what happened.  I wouldn't care about AA unless my job was given to someone underqualified.

Its supposed to make things "equal" for everybody by creating quotas of how many of each race are admitted into schools and even jobs.

The reason it was created: To make amends for slavery and racism.

Why not? Because you refuse to associate with "those" people, all of whom are not bad? Because you're scared of what that neighborhood has become because of the little funding and poor education? Or because you think you're better?

You know what it is, but you do not understand how it works.
