Affirmative action should not continue

Rebuttals 1. "How do you describe the action of not hiring someone just because they're white despite being more qualified than their black counter part? Discrimination" Because that is not what affirmative action does. What affirmative action does do is insure that any discrepancies in hiring of any program funded by the federal government is investigated to see if those discriminations are based on race or other factors. This program has come about because racism still exists in th united states and is shown in the numerous studies that I sited thus is it not the government's responsibility to investigate this possible discrimination? The type of discrimination you seem to be describing is universities who wanted more diverse campuses gave extra points to blacks instead of whites. They did this of their own accord and it was ruled unconstitutional to the supreme court. Thus the type of discrimination that you keep pretending exists number one does not exist and number 2 has nothing to do with affirmative action. 2."doing something about racism doesn't have to mean letting someone discriminate against me. I can help end racism which I know exists using ways that don't discriminate against me" Once again that is not what affirmative action does 3.There are many different white cultures. There's the Scandinavians in Minnesota, the Cajuns in Louisiana, the pensylvania Dutch in pensylvania Yes and they are statistically less likely to be discriminated against. However affirmative action can work both ways. If a program is disproportionately higher blacks then it would be investigated. However this does not happen because the white racism that you describe barely exists except in some left leaning campuses that were investigated and brought to the supreme court for discrimination against white students. Also the pennsylvania dutch are german they are called the pennsylvania dutch because when they said Deutschland which is german for germany or fatherland we assumed they were saying dutch. 4,your right. Genocide is worse Than stop using it in your argument because only a few lines down in your argument you bring up genocide again 5.Just because the southern white culture (generally) benefited from racism doesn't mean the russian immigrant in NYC has to pay for it Once again not what affirmative action does 6."Cops same thing. Not all white cops are racist and want to kill the first black person they see. Many White cops protect black and Hispanic people and risk their lives doing it. If you are in a situation where a rapist is in your house and your calling 911 who do you want to come ? The best, strongest and most well trained cop or the pretty good cop" Well than I would like to ask you a question if you are a citizen in ferguson missouri in which the police force is 90% white while your city is 70% black, blacks are twice as likely to be pulled over and the police force has a past of police brutality would you trust your police force. Answer that question before you say that a disproportionately white police force should be allowed. 7.All those facts are true because black people tend to live in poorer neighborhoods . Black young men make up 3% of the population and commit 50% of the murderers (fbi) and black teenage boys are 9 times more likely to rob , 6 times more likely to tape and 3 times more likely to kill than white teen boys. That's why they are more likely to be tried As adults. They are more likely to do crimes that makes them deserve to be tried as adults. Not all black men are criminals and I don't want to lump them into a category. Yes and they are equally likely to do drugs but are arrested 5 times as often for the same offense. Black kids are more likely to be tried as adults in a court. People who are exonerated of crime through DNA evidence are disproportionately black, 42% of black children go to schools with high levels of poverty, black mothers are twice as likely to suffer infant mortality. This all points to the idea that criminals are not born they are made so if you want to throw out the statistic that blacks are 50% more likely to murder someone I can come right back at you and say that blacks are 2100% more likely to be killed by a police officer than white people and compose of 40% of the US prison population despite only representing a 13% part of American demographics. Statistics cut both ways and I guarantee you I can find 5 peer reviewed sources on how blacks are less equal than ever source you find on how whites are treated with racism any where close to as comparable as blacks in modern day United States. 8."imagine being a white person who was paralyzed in an anti white hate crime and than being discriminated against again." I defy you to find a source that shows that these anti white neighborhoods are even close to frequent in the United states because right now you have the credibility of Fox News with their muslim zones in europe. 9.The fact about high schools offering chem courses is misleading. Mostly black and mostly Latino schools usually are more poor and schools with lower income students are less likely to offer those kinds of sunjects. First of all please work on your spelling and secondly that is the exact reason why affirmative action exists because those schools under affirmative action should be investigated as to why they offer less opportunity to poor people than rich people. With those poor people often being disproportionately black or latino. 10.There are plenty of poor white people and rich black people. Really because whites statistically own 1300% more aggregate wealth than blacks and hispanics. http://www.pewresearch.org... 11.Affirmative action was necessary years ago but now things have changed So long as racism in this world exists the minorities of our populations must be protected. That is why affirmative action must remain. Conclusions The United States has been plagued with racism since its inception so is it not our responsibility to eliminate racism in America? My opponent does not think so and maintains the delusion that whites are treated equally with african Americans without sighting a single source other than fbi which is not particularly helpful. Thus I would ask that you vote for me for my opponent has failed on every level to prove her point by either completely misunderstanding what affirmative action does or by comparing racism against whites in the United states to the holocaust. thus I would ask that you vote for me.
