You need to check your sources there pal. Both of these sources are in the Opinion section so that means they are just one (or in this case 2) democrats view. They show no statistical reports to back your claims.

This thread is about posting your opinions so don't get on here and bash me about mine since I am not doing the same to yours. You could let the writers of this trash you put on here know about Bluegrassrivals so they can post their opinions, since that is what they are doing anyway.

You never provided anything to prove youre opinion, so how can you bash me? I was just providing another look at this issue.

Also, I never stated that they weren't in the "opinion" section, but they do provide stats to show that affirmative action isn't as bad as "white males" make it seem. Im sure that in some instances it has been used unfairly, but what hasnt? I believe that overall it's not hurt the white man as much as you would like to think, if you're qualified to get into school, you will get accepted. Im a poor, white mountain boy, and I had no trouble getting into school, I was accepted to every college I applied to.

Here is a poll that shows that the majority of people who oppose it are white males, which make up 90% of the republican party, so I can see why they're upset, in their mind everything must help the white man. This is also why I think affirmative action is such a partisan issue, when it shouldn't be.

P.S.

I never should have started this debate anyway, after reading launchpads original post I saw that he didn't want any arguing. But I couldn't stand by and read as people agreed with a stance that is very flawed.
