I wonder what percentage of African Americans today were descendants of slaves?Curious what the socially acceptable time limit is these days for a people group to recover spiritually/emotionally/economically from slavery, rape and brutality.
This! Again and again and again!On the flip side, it also bothers me that a minority who earned it is thought to not have earned it because of their skin color.

What do we call the players? "Washington footballers," "washington football team member," or do we just shorten it to "team player?".

The only reason people would think things like that is because of affirmative action. Take away affirmative action, what basis would someone have to make this comment? If a candidate/applicant for any school was judged based on their merit (whether academic, leadership, or social/volunteer) alone, nobody could argue they did not earn it. Instead, we undermine the hard work of minorities by giving them "extra points" for the color of their skin.This! Again and again and again!

I fully agree that there are underserved communities which make it harder for applicants to be competitive. However, affirmative action DOES NOT fix this problem. It merely allows the bar to be lower for these applicants. Instead, we should be spending our time, money, and effort arguing about ways to better these communities/schools.
Well, okay then...Hmm...interesting...
Okay...time to query RRS again.
