So you mean we should get rid of preferential treatment for blacks and Hispanics? Currently they have much greater educational and employment opportunities than whites or Asians do, which is easily proven by looking at the test scores they need for admission to universities, or the qualifications they need to get a job.
CBOEtrader saysHow about we try treating everyone the same? Ya know, embrace actual liberal values
Yes, how about it. Let's do it.

But Liberals believe they should receive the same pay and incomes.
They believe we should take from the 1% so these people, on the lower end of the race and gender scale, can have the same lifestyle as the evil 1%ers that actually WORKED for their money.
A great myth that the Left believes is that all races and genders have the same abilities and should have the same opportunity to be successful. Blacks, in general, may not be as built or tuned to have software engineer jobs for example, but they sure as hell dominate the NFL and NBA. The same goes for women and STEM...maybe they just don't have a desire to be in technical fields because their brains or personalities aren't drawn to it. Genders and races are NOT the same, so don't expect the same outcomes.

Not really. Let's look at elementary school opportunities. Or High School opportunities.
The universities are trying to make up for the that preferential treatment.
I'd be curious to see the qualification for job proof that you can easily show though.

It's so amazing that Trump supporters are so well in tune with what Liberals believe.
lol--all they have is strawman arguments.
It would be so nice if they could start a post with anything besides talking about what Liberals, or leftifts, or Dems believe. How about just stating what you believe and why?

I would love to do that, but it would specify the level of paid trolls here, and my post would get nuked.

That's true, so why did you post this in the other thread?
HappyGilmore says
That's an allegation too.
Oops...
An allegation isn't really proof.

You're aware that Russian agents are BIG donators to the NRA, right?

Great-see that wasn't so hard. And it's a reasonable philosophy.

You posted links in the other thread asserting that it was proof or Russia involvement with the NRA. Having a tough time keeping the daily narratives organized?

No, I remember. I didn't ever say I had proof like Patrick posted.
I said the Russians donate to the NRA and showed why I think that. Completely different.

He's kind of scary looking at first glance, like 6'5" and muscular, but that's just appearance. He's actually very pleasant to talk to, which you quickly figure out if you chat with him.
So I asked him if discrimination had been any significant impediment to his self-achieved success, and he doesn't seem to have an answer for that. Clearly it didn't stop him. My conclusion is that most of the hype about discrimination is bullshit. If you're motivated and stay on track, this country still works, no matter where you came from.
Dude, if you're reading this, very happy to get your perspective too.
