Do you support Race base AA

[classical liberal]

No, it is reverse discrimination.

migrandel-

show me a person who was enslaved and then discuss how AA helps atone towards that person.  the last slave died before I was born.  every black person in this country 40 years ago spoke english as well as every irish immigrant, maybe even more blacks than irish as irish people speak gaelic and blacks in this country speak english.  no black people were owned 40 years ago; they all spoke english; and they had as much of a right to vote as irish people, or did you forget the voting rights act.

I realize race exists as a social construct. My point is that it seems rather shaky legally to give people a preference based on self-identification!

Tweed, I don't consider myself black, no, but as there is no definition of how much pigment one must have in one's skin in order to be black, I could be black if I wanted to be. My point was that you get to choose your own race, at least from a purely legal standpoint.

7.38 mol melanin per skin cell.

Are you doing a RightWingNut and just taking a bizarre position for the heck of it?

What position have I taken that you think was "for the heck of it"?

[classical liberal]

I don't know what you're refering to on the gay marriage thing.

You misunderstood what I was saying on the energy thing.  I was merely commenting on the fact that given the renewable nature of nulcear fusion, a forward thinking energy policy would contain R&D incentives for it.

I'm serious.  I know that at least in the South and the Interior West, there would be very few qualms about lynching a f****t.

[classical liberal]

yes, i suppose that nowadays dragging a dead body with a car is preferable to lynching
