Puppyz, don't get all worked up over a couple of racist kids. It's not worth it. They have little to no credibility here. This topic has been discussed ad nauseum in many different ways on the forum, and each time, it deteriorates into personal attacks or stupid, inane personal comments. Everyone has an opinion and instead of doing something constructive about it, they feel obligated to reveal their deep seated inadequacies and fears.

I guess thats why "the black one'' was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his work as a PEACEMAKER.

Oh thanks for telling me what the NAACP is. The most racist widely-accepted organization huh? Do you mean the organization who was created to oppose racism? The same organization who faught the ''seperate but equal'' and the '' jim crow laws" . You have no idea what you are talking about.

They refused the child because they had no more space for another white student. It does not state anywhere she was refused by ''blacks'' or ''whites''. In this case, it's because of affirmative action this girl was denied admission. A good example of how affirmative action is also a form of discrimination.
No issues here. You're right; the riot thing was a bit much. Just for the record I'm absolutely NOT a racist, far from it; some of my best friends are black. But the fact that white (males particularly) are basically on the bottom of the totem pole for just about everything makes no sense to me at all....

Relax. I know MLK didn't start riots, I was being sarcastic.

In fact, I think what's happening today under the name of Mr. King and his movement is contradictory to what he taught.

Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. "Widely Accepted" were the key words in that statement. The KKK, ANP, and other white-supremacy movements are no longer "widely accepted" organizations. Perhaps they were in years past, but definitely not today.

The NAACP and BPP are frighteningly racist in their policies, and they are "widely accepted" (that is most Americans perceive them in a positive manner, and support them). I would suggest doing some independent reading on both of them, especially the new Black Panther Party. Just a suggestion.






Don't even go there. You wanna talk bout where this country is headed? How about what really matters. What the supreme court decides! Their decision in this matter will decide where this country is headed.
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. It sounds like you're confirming exactly what I've already said.

If they are such ardent "anti-racists", why are they siding with the school's decision to refuse admission based on race? It seems quite hypocritical to me.

Vegabond does have a point. I didn't intend to have this thread deteriorate into a personal flamefest. I was hoping for a mature debate. Please, let's not get worked up over this stuff.

Expression of opinion is activism. Activism is constructive.

I think people are missing the bigger issue here. The school denied a student admission based on the fact that a quota was filled despite the fact that there was student spots available. Imagine if an airline had to fill a certain number of seats and they were told that only 40 of 100 seats can go to whites and 60 seats go to blacks. 40 whites showed up (because they work and can afford the tickets ) and 15 blacks showed up for the flight. No additional blacks showed up for the flight, but 25 additional whites showed up but were denied boarding because the quota for whites was met.

Under affirmative action rules the flight should depart with 45 empty seats, and 25 pee'd off whites who just needed an education.
