Scared "W?" Voters--Did You Hear Obama's Views on Affirmative Action?
Q. He said "it would only be applicable to those that needed, regardless of race--that Blacks would not be "automatically" given an advantage. This is the right man--And i am sho' nuff black!

How do minorities feel about affirmative action?
Q. I'm interested in how minorities feel about affirmative action - is it necessary? How should someone such as myself view affirmative action, not being in the minority? If you believe it is necessary, will there exist a point in the future where racial differences are far enough aside that it won't be necessary? Could affirmative action actually lead to further discrimination against minorities or otherwise?

A. I think affirmative action is necessary. Affirmative action is not only for minorities, it's for women of all ethnicities as well. For many years white men (being a double majority) would get many benefits just for the simple fact that they were white and male. Not to say that there weren't any hard working white men that earned what they had, but there was (and still is) a huge privilege in being white and male. Affirmative action (along w/ few other things) was put into place to level the playing field a bit. That s why there are things set aside (i.e: scholarships) for different ethnicities and women.

A. There are two types of affirmative action: classical and new/modern. In classical affirmative action, organizations must exert effort to ensure that there is no discrimination in their hiring/admission process. In recent years, affirmative action has changed. Organizations use set-asides (e.g., quotas) to proactively ensure that their hiring/admission process reflects the appropriate demographics. For example, a school might have 100 openings. 10 spots may be reserved for minorities. If 100 non-minority people scored 100% on the admission test, only 90 of them will be accepted, even if no minority scores 100%. So, in some cases, the school might have to accept 10 minorities who scored below 100% (maybe even 70%). In this type of… [cont.]

"Racism": I used to be a self-hating white person...always putting down our Colonial/Imperial heritage...until I thought, "Wait a minute! White people cured polio! White people invented the internet! White people have done a lot of GOOD too"! "Abortion": Back when I was a feminist, I used to screech "Her body, her choice"...until I did some reading and discovered the "fetus" has a complete different DNA and blood-type to the mother. How can this be "Her body, her choice" to dispose of an organism with a completely different DNA and blood-type to her? I mean, from… [cont.]

If you're against affirmative action but in favour of racial profiling, does that make you a racist?
Q. I think it does. The same arguments that oppose affirmative action (only racists see race, "black" and "hispanic" are not synonyms for poor and uneducated) can be used to oppose racial pro-filling (just replace "poor and uneducated" with "criminals and drug addicts") Yet why is it that some (especially on the far right) oppose affirmative action strongly, yet say that racial profiling is completely OK? I am personally against both ( and this is comming from an minority) I simply follow Stephen Colbert's motto. "I don't see race, people tell me I'm brown, I believe them" (insert any race for this) What are your feelings towards both these issues, and if you happen to be againse affirmative action but in favour of racial profiling, can… [cont.]

A. Racial profiling is going off of facts of the circumstances to reduce or catch criminals in an act that has either happened or to prevent an attack or crime from happening. If a crime has just been committed and the victim says a white male stole my wallet wearing sweats and then cops focus their attention mostly on white males, is that now racial profiling or being smart to go off the facts of the crime? If every time a store gets robbed its a black male so the cops or the store owner now keep a closer eye on black males going into the store is that racism? or is it going off the probability and facts of the situation? Affirmative action is giving someone an unfair advantage simply because of their race, thus limiting the field for… [cont.]
