Affirmative Action is Not Justified

"I reject your "valid definition"." The valid definition backed up by http://www.dictionary.com.... It states the definition of racism is, "hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.". The site states multiple definitions of racism, so there are multiple definitions. "Racism IS be motivated by the belief of superiority otherwise how is discrimination logical." It"s also motivated by you not wanting other people on your land. Whether or not this is right is beyond the point, it"s what the Klan believe. "Your laughable claim that the KKK aren't white supremacists reveals your own recognition of the ridiculousness of your shrinking corner in this debate." They are on their own page. They are already rejected by most of society. Since they could go as extreme as they want, they are going to post their honest beliefs on the page. "The KKK killed and lynched black people in the belief that they are lesser human beings and are inferior." They don"t do it anymore and they deny it. While they are biased, so are you. At least they are a primary source. If they actually lynched black people, the participating members would probably get executed. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. "Positive discrimination recognises that all groups of people are equally intelligent, equally valuable and equally capable." This is not positive discrimination, it is negative. "The only thing that you have done in this debate is made wild, bigoted and offensive assertions. Throughout your writing there hasn't been the remotest snivel of argument, logical reasoning or explanation for your ridiculous claims." Yourou 3 arguments for how AA fixes it: 1; role models: Role models should not on the basis of gender. Ben Carson is more of a role model to me than Bernie Sanders, even though I am white. Other people should pick their role models on the basis of something other than race or gender. 2; artificially increasing numbers: Artificially decreasing numbers of males and Caucasians. 3; changing perceptions: When slavery was illegal, people still hated African Americans. When MLK did his speech, discrimination still existed. It"s pretty much impossible to eliminate like that. The best quickest way to eliminate racism to to cease to talk about it. It"s not like you see people discriminate against blond haired people or dark haired people, because people don"t talk about hair phenotypes as much as skin phenotypes. The more you talk about races, the more racism there is. AA supplies a way to talk about race, a lot. It provides a way for people to be race obsessed. "AA does work in many countries such as Singapore where the Malay community saw an increase from 0.5% to 5.4% in University admissions and at the most recent election all candidates were Malays showing how successful AA has been in lifting up previously disadvantaged groups. AA can work in the USA too." Did the Malay earn those positions, or did they get them for being Malay? "I really don't care what tax avoiding billionaires have to lecture us about." He"s donated more to charity then he would have paid in taxes. "What I care about is that social mobility is at an all-time low and that moving between classes is extremely hard." Daymond John started out poor, yet he"s now a billionaire on shark tank. Most billionaires are self made (ICH). "Politicians don't listen to you, nor does the media, nor do the corporate elite. They don't care." I"m assuming that includes Bernie Sanders. The media favors both sides. CNN listens to the left. Fox listens to the right. "You cannot wriggle your way out of the fact that if you're born poor it is extremely hard to succeed." It"s hard for everybody to succeed. "AA helps poor people to succeed because it forces them into the workplace and university guaranteeing their success, allowing them to act as role models and changing misconception about poor people." Daymond John is a role model for poor people. How is that working out for them? Just because someone with similar demographics gets a position for the 1st time does not mean that it will become more prominent in the field. "Jewish and Japanese people do not and have not faced the same level of racism of racism in the USA as Black people and even Latinos." The Japanese endured american concentration camps. "I can't even believe that you suggested minorities should change their names." How is it dumb? "Latinos face many racial barriers in the US." Many businesses want Latinos in there stores because some people don"t know English and Latinos could bridge the language divide. "How dare you suggest that they should just "tolerate" racial abuse and discrimination." If a Caucasian says the N word or the S word to you, toughen up. If they hit you then call you the N word, you should report them for assault, but not for a hate crime. "You seem to just be ok with inequality don't you?" I am okay with person A being richer than person B if that person A tends to work harder and produce more to society. I am okay with race A tending to be richer than race B if race A tends to be more productive than blacks. What do the facts say about their productiveness? I"m not saying the racial gap is good, but it can exists if Caucasians tend to be more productive to society more than African Americans. "What matters is that it is a fact that they are more likely to be locked up (whether their own fault or not) and that this impacts their results." I"m against rejecting people because they have a criminal history just as I am okay with rejecting people on the basis of race. However, businesses should have the right to reject people on this basis. Then the black people could go to another business and work there. It"s not like every business is going to be racist. Businesses also can be racist towards white people. But it"s wrong. "Of course they get special admissions treatment - that is because they face so much discrimination that the "special treatment" is trying to reverse it." Modern Blacks don"t face much discrimination, except for the occasional N word. They might have a harder time with jobs, but this can get changed by changing their names. AA just make racism more intense. "What in the world does the "emotional" side of girls have to do with anxiety that the black community faces (which is more than white people)?" Because anxiety is an emotion. "https://www.nbcnews.com...; " NBC is biased. It"s not like I cite Fox. The only time I cited a right wing source in this was when finding out their beliefs. I didn"t see that it was made in 1969 so I assumed it was relevant. I apologize for the inconvenience. I have a new cite. https://archive.nytimes.com... states that whites tend to get IQs 15 points above Blacks. This the site says is mostly due to family differences, since adopted children raised by whites got 13.5 pts higher then children raised by blacks, irrespective of the child"s race. This means that if Black families academically discipline their child, and if the child is raised well, then their child has a much higher chance of succeeding. https://www.theguardian.com...; is biased. However, even them stated, "If so, this would show that education levels, which are purely environmental" "Y chromosomes do not code for personality!" Why not? "We have culture which lowers and infantilizes women and thus they are demotivated." Our culture has been encouraging women to do good things for generations, but it doesn"t work. True sexism is in the middle east. Assuming they don"t change, we"ll have a society that oppresses women when we look like them. "It puts more women into these positions who act as role models (Clinton) changing misconceptions about women." Hillary is not a role model because she lost to someone like Trump. My arguments are reverse racism and history.
