If the people of power really wanted to end racism the first thing they would do is remove the question of race from all forms and documents. Another would be to allow white people to obtain educational grants and scholarships.

I just think its unfair that so many people are bringing up what whites have done in the past to justify the way we’re being treated today. Yes it was horrible the way minorities were treated. Even so, why am I being punished for something that happened over 50 years ago when I havnt been alive for 20?
My point is simple, I don’t want to see ANYONE punished for ANYTHING they had nothing to do with.
I agree with DJL. The only way to end racism is to end racism.

Doesn’t everyone think that we should all be judged by the content of our character not the color of our skin- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He would think affermative action is moronic

Probably. – But, the term “white” refers to a much larger group of people, in general. It’d be harder to incorperate all “white” stereotypes as well as BET incorperates all “black” stereotypes.

Seriously.

BET is to black stereotypes as Kids Say the Darnest Things is to kids saying the darnest things.

As far as I’m concerned, everyone should start out equal and then work from there. “Undocumented Immigrants” should not get free scholarships and/or grants to attend major universities when those that have followed the rules cannot. I’d like fair on all levels, but I dont think that could ever happen. Either that, or they should make scholarships for blondes.

In my opinion affermitive action is wrong. You should get into school, get a promotion, a job or whatever based on your qualifications period.

I don’t think something like BET could be considered a form of racism. Nationally, black, Asian, Hispanic, and any other race would probably be considered a minority. But depending where you live, regionally, it might not be the case. Anyways, its not racism, its marketing. Targeted, and catering to a select group.
