Yo, Rigs,

Please explain how folks are "damaged" by affirmative action...

(You know, Boberdz... Billy Bob says that he could have been a doctor rather than workin' at Jerry's Tire Center but that they accepted the Black kid from the other end of town because he was Black...)

No, it wasn't because he was Black but because he, ahhhh, didn't drop outta high school in the 10t5h grade, worked his butt off and did well in college...)

(Well, Boberdz, there were plenty of white kids who did well in college, too...)

And yer point??? Show me one who was qualified who didn't get into a medical school...

(It ain't that... It's that they didn't get into "the" medical school that they wanted to attend, Bobz...)

Hey, it's a tough world out there... JMU gets 25,000 apoplicationms every year from qualified high schoolers and only accepts 25% of them because that ios all they have room for...)

(Well, Boberdz, then they should take the top 25% and turn down the others...)

Oh??? Well, first of all that would wreck havock on their basketbakll team...lol... But really, if you talk with people how have the job og making those selections there are other factors, such as the narrative that accompanies the application and diversity...

(There you go again, Bobz, with that "diversity" argument... Why is that all that important???)

Well, I'll tell ya' why... Colleges are training people to work in the real world and the real world is diverse... So if you are being trained in a diverse setting to work in a diverse world than you are a few steps ahead by the time you graduate and ready to go out into that diverse world...

(I don't believe that, Boberdz...)

Nor do any affirmative action haters... They do not recognize that the world is diverse and therefore see no reason to educate people in a diverse setting...

(Yup, that's us...)

B~
