Another race besides caucasian being a brain surgeon

I find it ridiculous, that you would put a potato/peanut farmer on the same level as someone compared to http://www.crystalinks.com... Archimedes Aristotle Niels Nohr Nicolaus Copernicus Marie Curie Charles Darwin Leonardo Da Vinci Rene Descartes Thomas Alva Edison Albert Einstein Benjamin Franklin Galileo Galilei Isaac Newton Max Planck Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen Carl Sagan Nikola Tesla Archimedes Aristotle Niels Nohr Nicolaus Copernicus Marie Curie Charles Darwin Leonardo Da Vinci Rene Descartes Thomas Alva Edison Albert Einstein Benjamin Franklin Galileo Galilei Isaac Newton Max Planck Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen Carl Sagan Nikola Tesla I found it funny also that you had to Google/Yahoo your information to find those black scientists. I certainly don't remember being taught about George Washington Carver the peanut farmer while i was growing up in school. I was taught about Albert Einstein you know the guy who came up with E = mc squared which changed the entire way the world was viewed. Your scientist came up with peanut butter. The other scientists you mentioned also are miniscule compared to someone like Albert Einstein and the others i listed above. I wouldn't have had to Google 90% of the scientists i listed above, could i name everything they invented off the top of my head? Of course not, but I know them by name and this is the 1st time I've ever heard of your famous peanut farmer. You comparing apples to oranges or in this case peanuts to cashews..? "I believe that positive discrimination in the workplace is wrong, and I do know that in some cases it does happen. However, it is to some extent, against the law." Not only do you agree it's wrong, but you admit and agree with my position that in some cases it does happen. Then you say to some extent it's against the law, yes that is correct but only to some extent as you just pointed out. I for one don't like to gamble especially when it comes to my health. People play the lotto 649 in America in the hopes of being the 1 in 100 millionth person to have that golden ticket. I dont want to be that 1 in 100 millionth that just happens to get that Dr. who was given a "golden ticket" because of his minority status. Actually your right it is against the law in some cases if it's done voluntarily. An example is promotional quotas. A company isn't allowed to voluntarily use promotional quotas to hire more minorities. However if that company is found to be discriminating against one race/sex/religion they can be forced by the courts to have a promotional quota to even out the playing field. Some companies went as far as hiring minorities that wernet even qualified for the job just so they would meet the quotas. My resources can be found here. http://books.google.ca... There was also a case 1978 University of California vs. Bakke. Bakke sued the University because there were 18 seats set aside for people of color. Bakke said the colored students were less qualified than he was, and The Supreme Court favored Bakke (Allan Bakke received his doctorate shawl during his graduation from the University of California's medical school at Davis, California, June 6, 1982.)

Title: Race/Gender-Plus Policies Page: 151 How about the fact that when you fill out an application in the United States for a job, at least most of the places I have been too they ask on the application what race you are. This helps them maintain the EOA Equal Opportunity Act thus eliminating any chances of discriminatory lawsuits against them. "George Bush's speeches even failed when they were prepared, but by him, not his advisers" Your right on this 100% George Bush is a freak of nature, and should have never landed that position in the 1st place. Which brings me back to the point that not everyone gets a job because they are qualified. Thanks for opening that door for me. Obama does pretty well on his own? You realize he has his own speech writer? guess not by the way its Jon Favreau "Also, do you have any evidence that teachers go easier on African American students?" You realize in the western world there are people.. right this very second who can't read, yet they also have their grade 12? The world is not as perfect as you claim or may think it is.
