And on we go with the paradox.
Our fixation on 'color' simply fuels the fire of racism.

Yes, the left brings it on themselves.

"Race doesn't matter!" they say. Then they say, "We need more blacks and Asians in jobs!"

These are mutually exclusive. They can't both be true. Of course, leftists want it both ways.

I understand that people out there are still racist, but do you guys really think the left is helping its case?

who? Who says both of those? Can you cite anyone saying both?

Because i thought the Left asks for diversity. Which means many different kinds of differences.
YOU, of course, read it as 'blacks and Asians.'
These are mutually exclusive.
IFF stated simultaneously, by the same source, maybe.

But your ability to quote actual leftists has been found wanting, time and again.

or, that's all the better the right can understand tge actual demands....

how else to help it? Ignoring it? Does tggat ever work?
Like, the right wanted to ignore AIDS, say?

If this is not the way, what is?

Keith,

is it your belief that the left never says, "Race doesn't matter?"

It depends on the circumstances. It certainly seems to matter to you.

I want the best person hired for a job. Period. If a white man and a black man have the same exact qualifications for a job, I do not say, "We should hire the black guy to make us more diverse!" That's just stupid. I would support flipping a coin if they are both the same.

Affirmative action says that if a white and black candidate have identical qualifications, you should hire the black man. I say flip a coin.

Dude, you say THE LEFT says two contradictory things.
Can you cite an example of one person being on the keft and saying both?



Or not?

Dante is a "black-sounding name"? Since when.

Dante is an Italian name (Divine Comedy anyone?) Had to stop watching after that foolishness.

I also wonder why the filmmakers did not have the two people do things like apply for college or especially medical school, or apply for a job for say Fulton County government where strong racial preferences are practiced.
Or at least compare Tinder profiles where black male profiles are beneficiaries of the positive stereotype that all black men have big dicks. :)

Chinese-made condoms too small, Zimbabwe’s health minister complains

Where does it say that?

It is recommended practice. The SAT has an oppression score as well now. If a white and black student have equal qualifications, they will give the spot to the black student. The idea being that the white student would still have more opportunities elsewhere. :shrug:
 
And on we go with the paradox.

Blaming the reporter.

Nope.
The narrative isn't the 'report'.
There's no messenger to shoot.
And even if there were, the message is nonetheless accurate.

The more woke we become, the more we fixate on skin color
...and the further we drift away from MLK's dream.

Recommended by who? Or in other words, where does it say that?
CAN YOU SHOW THAT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SAYS WHAT YOU SAY IT SAYS?
The SAT has an oppression score as well now.
And this is part of Affirmative Action? What tells you this?
If a white and black student have equal qualifications, they will give the spot to the black student.
Spot? What 'spots' does the SAT have?
The idea being that the white student would still have more opportunities elsewhere. :shrug:
Can you cite any of this?
Or are you just making shit up....




...again?

You do know that was just a reenactment and not that actual study, right?

Lets look at that black sounding name bit more carefully:

1) It doesn't matter what the race of the person doing the hiring is, the same effect is observed. Strange that black people would discriminate against black people. Maybe something else is going on??

2) Black sounding names are associated with considerably lower educational achievements. The blackest (as in the percentage of people who have the name being black) names have on average 4 years less education than the whitest names.

3) Many people are named after those the parents look up to. For whites this tends to show up as those of a social level somewhat above that of the parents so you get a pattern of names trickling down from the elites to lower and lower socioeconomic levels. With blacks, however, this socioeconomic pattern is missing--they're looking up to blackness, not success. That says a lot about parents (they don't value success) and this is likely reflected in the person with the name.

Sorry, but he's right on this one. It's what the AA supporters claim to want--ties go to the minority.

I'm not questioning whether he's right.
I'm questioning whether he can support this. Cite something, or someone, showing that this is exactly what one must do to meet AA requirements?
Is this in writing anywhere? Because if it's just 'what supporters claim,' that's not actionable. And if it's just what critics SAY that the supporters want, it's even less compelling.
