Affirmative Action in Action

Quote by Ironic

You can't quote or display anything because there isn't anything.

Yes, Yes, Some form of Affirmative Action that doesn't use racial discrimination.

LOL, but I did quote. I quoted what I had said, because I did not say that you said something specifically, so your question ("Where did I ever say…") was just you acting butthurt over something you made up yourself.

Now, back to the subject:

Quote by Ironic
Yes, Yes, Some form of Affirmative Action that doesn't use racial discrimination.

Since you're answering the third question, that only applied if you agreed with the first two, I'll take it you do indeed acknowledge that certain parts of the population still suffer from centuries of racial discrimination and that you mind that that is still the case.

So what form of Affirmative Action, that does not use racial discrimination, are you talking about? Can you give an example? And how would it balance out the racial inequality that is the result of centuries of racial discrimination?

Quote by Ironic

Just so long as any Affirmative Action someone comes up with isn't illegal and is constitutional, I'm good with it. That's the way it's got t work here.

Okay, so you can't give an example. I wouldn't be able to either. But then again, that's why I think racial discrimination in this case should be part of the solution. Because the inequality and racial discrimination are just too tied up for that.

Anyway, maybe you can explain how you'd address a problem that's caused by racial discrimination, and that because of that racial discrimination affects only a certain racial group, when the attempted solution may not address that specific demographic because that would be racial discrimination? How should that work? Is it even possible?

Or is this perhaps just another case of the famous American "we can't" mentality: "the constitution, therefore…"?

Quote by Ironic

And I'm not even going to waste my time debating racial discrimination with you.

I've said racial discrimination is bad, and I'm against it.

Other posters here disagree with me, so I guess they support racial discrimination.

I'm not like them.

And I'm just me, so you should drop the multiple accounts accusations

Well you can't debate racial discrimination with me, or anyone for that matter. You've done yourself the disservice of digging yourself in a hole of your own making by ignoring the nuance involved in Affirmative Action in order to cling to your faulty notion of discrimination is bad, because you want to be an absolutist. No one will argue the fact that discrimination is bad in most circumstances.

Those in favor of recognizing the importance of Affirmative Action do so because they recognize the importance of addressing barriers caused by systemic racism. You're aware that if you acknowledge those barriers, then your pretense of equality shatters, which is why you ignore them and engage in empty virtue signaling. Systemic racism destroyed the ability for equality and justice to exist, and will only be righted when the barriers caused by systemic racism are destroyed. You know this as well, but you can't acknowledge it because you're as fragile as your empty belief systems. No amount of profiles you create to reinforce your vapid beliefs will ever substantiate them, and I'll always pity you for that.

Quote by Ironic

Yes, Yes, Some form of Affirmative Action that doesn't use racial discrimination.

How often have you personally benefited from racial discrimination, Ironic? Have you ever actually 'felt' that you improbably gained some advantage over another person, simply because he or she looked different than you?

I support Affirmative Action, and almost everything else which you oppose or have attempted to re-label in order to push out as offensive to your existential self being.

Simply calling Affirmative Action - racial discrimination - is not going to win this argument for you. We all see what you and your fellow GQP are attempting to do. You've used the same playbook with regard to abortion.

These decisions and Republican implementations are going to get the Republican party eviscerated at the voting booths in November '24.

Payback's a bitch.

Quote by Ironic

Simply calling racial discrimination Affirmative Action is not going to win this argument for you. It wasn't persuasive at the Supreme Court, either.

Remember what CJ Roberts said, “eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.”

The Supreme Court was persuaded by Venmo deposits, so another vapid argument. It appears you support a Supreme Court that can be purchased, which again, makes everything (all of) you say meaningless. Pitiful.

Quote by Ironic

You're getting funnier as your explanations get more desperate as you try to justify racial discrimination.

This is an interesting take. Desperation would require that I'm saying things that aren't rooted in fact. It's also interesting that you've now chosen to project your desperation onto me, being that your desperation won't even allow you to admit to the systemic barriers that necessitated Affirmative Action.

I've no qualms admitting that I am in full support of excluding individuals from opportunities based on race if it's done to correct barriers and disparities caused by systemic barriers rooted in racism against people of color. To put it plainly, I fully support any legislation, policy, program, etc. that is rooted in the belief that because of the centuries of disenfranchisement based on simply being a person of color, opportunities will be presented to people of color to catch up, at the exclusion of white people. I think this form of racial discrimination is justified, and I support it. To me, it is a form of justice, which is more important than equality. I can say that fully because I have critical thinking skills and conviction. I also have no qualms saying that I have no faith in SCOTUS because it's been proven that their votes can be purchased, therefore whenever I see anything along the lines of "SCOTUS approved it," I am unmoved because SCOTUS has a purchase price.

Also, if I were you, I'd drop the snarky act. You don't pull it off well, and therefore it just makes you look more pitiful.

Quote by Ironic

I'm not the one desperately trying to justify racial discrimination. Funnier and funnier.

I'm not even joking, this is really sad dude. Holy shit.

I've said my piece. I support racial discrimination when it's done to promote justice. I accept that you believe this makes me desperate.

I believe you're intelligent when you choose to be. I'm truly sorry that you're so threatened by nuance and facts that you have to resort to gimmicks in a conversation like this. I'd like to believe you're better than this, but I admit defeat in that regard, and we can end our discourse here.

Quote by Ironic

Some people support racial discrimination and some don't. You're one of the ones who do, and I'm one of the ones who don't.

The rest of your post is just attacking me, so ... Meh.

it makes me sad that there are people out there who think like this. and a snow flake who always accuses anyone disagreeing with you as attacking you. congrats on making women on a sex site sad.

Quote by Ironic

You can dress your opnion up any way you want, but racial discrimination remains bad. And I have only one account.

Ironic the type of dude to wear a hat with a propeller on it.

If the sky us blue, you'd say it is mauve. You saying you are not racist is a bunch of empty words. You oppose helping minorities gain 1st class citizenship and an equal standing and chances to advance after centuries of oppression and slavery; and say it is not racist.

Go look in the mirror and quit lying to yourself, and to us

Quote by Ironic

Everytime you post, you prove your racism.

Yet you oppose measures to erase centuries of systematic and cultural racism, and then you claim you are not a racist. What a tub of shit.

Who cares that you only have one account. The vast majority here have only one account. The site requires only one account. However, one who seems to pull your strings like a puppet does have multiple accounts. Several of your rightwing cohorts are in reality, just one person. Site officials know this to be the case. So there!

Quote by Ironic

I've said and continue to say racial discrimination's bad.

Racial discrimination's wrong, but you support it.

Seriously, do you think you are fooling anyone?

You are a joke.

Quote by Ironic

Do you think racial discrimination is a joke too?

That's a lame attempt at retort.

Quote by Chryses

... doing my best Clint Eastwood imitation ...

Ya gotta ask yourself kid. Who are the racists? The people who oppose racial discrimination, or the people who support it?

Your Clint Eastwood imitation is something to chuckle about. 😀

... doing my best Clint Eastwood imitation ...

Ya gotta ask yourself kid. Who are the racists? The people who oppose racial discrimination, or the people who support it?

A better Eastwood imitation would be: "When I grew up, those things weren't called racist".

Quote by Chryses

I'm sure that would work for you.

I think "Ya gotta ask yourself kid. Who are the racists? The people who oppose racial discrimination, or the people who support it?" is more suitable for those who oppose racial discrimination.

The fact that you find Eastwood suitable kinda says enough.

Quote by Chryses

You are mistaken.

I found the line from the movie suitable. The actor is the reason for the Clint Eastwood imitation.

LOL. Not mistaken at all. You chose to refer to the actor instead of the character. So, I referenced to the actor as well.

Quote by Chryses

To rephrase a question Ironic asked you above, and to which you did not respond, "Do you also chuckle about racial discrimination?"

Your posts to this thread persuade me that you support racial discrimination, but do you also find it humorous?

With your reasoning, you probably thought Mother Thersa was a serial killer.

Your attempts to seem non-bigoted are easily transparent. Try again. That is if you're not to busy with your harem of inflatable dolls.

Quote by Ironic

Do you think racial discrimination is funny?

No but your obvious virtue signaling is hilarious. You've gone on for pages about how evil Affirmative Action is while refusing to engage in a conversation about the ongoing impacts of systemic racism experienced by minorities in the US.

What's also funny is the hypocrisy of you only having a problem with racial discrimination when it benefits minorities. The cherry on top of your comedy sundae is that you only have one response to the holes in your fragile argument, and you're riding that thing until the wheels fall off. You are by far the biggest joke in the Think Tank, and I appreciate you for that.

He successfully has been trolling you... This is his way of getting attention. He feels safe to do this because ridiculing him is not accepted here but his trolling is. 👍

careful, you're going to upset him and he'll go into his "quit attacking me!" mode.

Quote by Ironic

Since I think racial discrimination is uniformly wrong, there's no hypocrisy in my position.

Lol.

Quote by Ironic

I laugh, too, but I laugh sadly for those who support racial discrimination.

sadly, despite you being woefully unaware, pretty much laughing at yourself right now,

I presume you do it when looking at yourself in the mirror.

You preach a false narrative that is so truly fake you could've goosestepped on 1930 Bavaria.

Quote by Chryses

Do you support or oppose racial discrimination?

do you?

Quote by Chryses

Do you support the right to discriminate based on race or are you a racist?

Thank you Chryses.

Quote by Chryses

I am one of those who oppose racial discrimination.

Do you support or oppose racial discrimination?

Affirmative action wasn't racial discrimination though.

You're just calling it that in bad faith.

Very transparent. Very lame. Very dumb,
