The IdioSyncrasies Of Affirmative Action

I see your interested in a job here as a applicable work candidate.

What is your work ethnic?

What?

Affirmative action claims to support the notion of racial and cultural equality yet in many circumstances it is exclusive to others which is ironic of the supposed equality that it dictates.

I’ll say it again:

How so? Exclusion might be exactly what’s needed to reach an equilibrium.

Equilibrium is a bullshit philosophy…

Which affirmative action are you talking about?
The open one that is fairly recent in US history or the older more tacit one or the open govenment and private one in force preWW2 pretty much in every state and many places long after that?

Sometimes you have to fight bullshit with bullshit.

The recent one that preaches equality but completely fails at it on the exclusion of one ethnic group for the betterment of all others.

Bullshit added with more bullshit just equals a lot more bullshit than what you originally started out with.

Well reasoned sir. I concede.

That was easy enough.

Yes, fooling yourself can be easier than most people realize. Alot of times people do it without even knowing that they are.

If you disagreed with what I said just say so.

Don’t dance around it.

You can’t even dance dude.

You are the one dancing around not me. You can’t even give me a straight reply back. Keep on dancing around Smears.

It makes for useful distraction but as always your posts lack substance.

Dude I said that temporary injustice in order to make a group whole who has suffered injustice at the hands of those suffering the temporary injustice is how we reach an equilibrium. That’s how you make things fair. You take what was stolen and give it back. How is that not a substantive response?

In order that justice may be served injustice must become common practice to one group of people in order to put others on a pedestal?

That’s like saying we need to burn down a village in order to save it.

Coming from you Smears it’s not at all surprising you have come to this realization as an answer.

Please tell me about this precious equilibrium you speak of and how it is any different from another word like utopia.

Nothing in this world is fair.

Giving to people by taking from others is not.

Well, when one group puts themselves on a pedestal and steals everything, then another group comes along and puts themselves on a pedestal and steals it back what’s the difference?

I’ll bet if you were getting a job because you were white your opinion would be different instead of not getting it because you’re white.

Don’t be so selfish and insincere. You can’t really want justice and then say it’s wrong to make someone whole who’s been wronged.

The thing about ideas like equilibrium in society, or moral codes or what have you, is that we all know they are unattainable or unaccomplishable, but what we should do it try and strive toward them, that’s what keeps the problem from getting worse. You might not ever be a millionaire, but if you don’t try and get money, you’ll suffer.

So the other one was OK? And are the other ethnic groups doing better than, well, whites?

We started out with slavery. Take a lot of bullshit to top that.
