Petition to Support Affirmative Action in Basketball

[Zero Sum 305]

You support a racist policy. That is reality.

A policy based strictly on skin color is racist and you, by your posts here, clearly support it.

Prove such a reality only you can see, yet can't see what I actually wrote. Its not too late to read.

It seems another predicatble self-fulfilling prophecy will come together shortly.

I'll let the others chime in since only I can see it.

Its not too late to back your words up with a link proving your claim. Otherwise you'd be just full of it.

Give you til tomorrow if you want some extra *time*

Obviously you're not used to how I roll. I don't post links to backup my claims. I post reality and if you don't like it then so be it.

You've posted over the better part of 10 pages in favor of affirmative action. Are you saying you're not a supporter?

So you're full of it then.

10 pages shouldn't be too hard to specify that clear support of AA programs- particularly in this racist mission of putting you down. We can even do this with a multiquote of yours.

Well then do it.

Go for it slim. While I head home, feel free to prove your otherwise-BS claim.

Not gonna do it, huh? I figured you wouldn't.

Since you can't.

I know I can't prove I stated I was a supporter of AA programs.

As for your claim... have another lemon.

Clearly a racist policy to demand those who get a job pass the entrance exam.

If you pass the entrance exam you pass the entrance exam. If you don't you don't. The people in that example did pass.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Of course it is. That's affirmative action. Having a requirement that a certain number of people - regardless of qualifications - be employed simply based on their skin color.

According to some, that's not racist.

No, that's an example of a bad affirmative action policy. And a fictional one as well, since it was conceived out of your own biases and assumptions. I stated that if the policy existed in the way you describe then it would be a bad policy.

Does your example describe all affirmative action policies? No, it does not.

It is like that. They hire people in the union apprenticeships, fire depts, etc.. because of the skin color until they meet their quota. How could you comment on this subject and not know that?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You support a racist policy. That is reality.

A policy based strictly on skin color is racist and you, by your posts here, clearly support it.

You're assuming that affirmative action is exclusively about skin colour. You've only offered a single fictional example to support this. Simply put, it is not.

And you later claim to posting "reality". It's an odd claim.
