rhaig 0 #176 February 13, 2010 I think that where racism is perceived, people will continue to use the legal system to expose and correct it. Affirmative action exposed white-first institutionalized racism. Now, AA extends the life of institutionalized racism, but in the other direction. How about instead of making vague comments about the police stealing something back, or asking open-ended question, you tell us all why you think AA is still needed? btw, if you're going to berate canuck for not answering your question, how about mine?-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're racist." is that about right? Or di you have anything else that helped you form that opinion?-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW you rarely ever see Libyans win, why is that? What do you call an Ethiopian with two dogs? Answer: "A Rancher". OK, OK that was poor form...just a joke...Have some Tea.
