    Affirmative action was the best approach to leveling the playing field, disregarding standardized testing which unfairly favored better funded schools and families able to arrange private tutors and studying. It simply said, we recognize the power of giving a disenfranchised individual the same opportunity available to their empowered Caucasian counterpart. And guess what, individuals given the opportunity they wouldn't normally have by and large succeed gloriously. They simply want it more and don't squander opportunities just handed to our trust fund babies and Presidents.
    Whew! Your title is safe for now.

    It's funny how everyone seems to be agreeing with Some Rogue that the US has a class problem and here comes Seran with his usual brand of retardation to say blacks are "disenfranchised" while whites are "empowered."

    Yes, I'm sure 17 year old Jim Bob living in his trailer park home with his mom, dad, and 8 siblings and can't afford a private tutor, computer, or other tools to help his education is so much more "empowered" than a black person who attended private school and was raised by a doctor and a lawyer.

    You do realize people can legally move into and out of states, right?

    And that graduation RATE is not the same thing as NUMBER OF graduates, correct?

    And finally, Neveragain was talking about *High School* graduates. Not college graduates- which was the primary issue.

    Look at an economic census, look at half the sociology studies out there and you'll find there are a lot fewer Jim Bob's who want nothing more than to live in that trailer park and boink his 8 siblings than there are socio-economically empowered Caucasian kids benefiting from better schools, in middle class families created by Union protections that can afford to put a kid through college. Now using your laughable example, just how many people of color do you think are out there attending private schools raised by two white collar professionals? Just how many do you think there are in comparison to Caucasian children in the exact same situation? The ratio is staggering.

    Now take an inner city child in a dilapidated school, surrounded by people who are angry about being oppressed their entire lives. Then elect a President who he knows is not saying Make His America Great Again, but actually saying, "Make White America Great Again." Throw in a disease, several diseases actually, which disproportionately kill his friends and family members compared to the MAGA crowd. Now add a (thankfully small) handful of law enforcement officers who're less interested in protecting him and his family than they are patrolling looking for any opportunity to rough up another person of color. Any normal officer would have booked George Floyd for passing counterfeit money without incident, but instead he uses force which contributed to his demise. Your angry, there's now no one to protect you, no one in front of you looking out for your future. What can you do? Rise up.

    Why would college graduates be the primary issue?

    You think it's an educational success if one state has a 70% high school graduation rate and a 25% college graduation rate compared to another state who has a 95% high school graduation rate and a 15% college graduation rate?

    Because yeah I'm sure those people not graduating high school tend to go on to found the next Microsoft or Amazon.

    Blah blah blah, deflect, deflect, deflect.

    Simple question: does the Jim Bob in my hypothetical have a better chance at success in life than Theo?

    I just realized your disingenuous sleight of hand here. California and NY are above average when it comes to percentage of RESIDENTS with at least a BA.

    So in other words these people may actually have come from other states because California is where all of the high tech jobs are? Meaning CA and NY shouldn't be the ones taking credit for their citizens attending and graduating college?

    I'm pretty sure in one of your many stories you yourself claim you moved to San Fransisco from another state because that's where the jobs were.

    That’s not exactly how passing the buck works.

    tg01, I’m still waiting for you to explain how I am passing the buck.

    CNN reporter: These protesters have been so peaceful! So peaceful I want to have sex with each and every single one of them!
    A car full of peaceful protesters drive by, throwing bottles at the reporter and saying "Fuck you!"
    CNN reporter: They like to take it out on the media, like everyone does. They are yelling and throwing things at us but not in a mean way.

    No wonder they had their name legally changed to Clown News Network.

    CA literally pays more per student and has nearly a 15% lower graduation rate than the children of pig farmers.
