Do you have any idea what Affirmative Action was predicated on? You should read about it because unfortunately, you don't! "If you get hired because your black or you are woman it is wrong. You should not except the job." And why shouldn't they if they are qualified to do that job? You're spelling is also atrocious. Your = You're, woman = a woman, except = accept. My God, hit the darned button and get some education! Side: No.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Except for Tugman's spelling and grammar being... pitiful. "If you get hired because your black or you are woman it is wrong. You should not except the job." And why shouldn't they if they are qualified to do that job? You're arguing both sides of the fight, it seems. Are you saying it's OK for an employer to need to hire someone because they are a gender or skin color? If you are, I can't understand why someone would think that. That is absolutely not OK. But, if you're saying someone should only be hired if they are the best one for the job, no matter what color, sex, or anything they are! Each person should be judged depending on what they know and what they do. Not what happened to their ancestors, what their ancestors did, or what color they are. That is just not right. Side: Yes.
The purpose of the civil rights movement was to give all races and genders equal rights and opportunities. Not to diversities every single thing. And certainly not to give the minority more opportunity than the majority. Let's not forget the significants of the civil rights movement. Side: Yes.

Which Civil Rights Movement are you talking about? You haven't the faintest idea what you're speaking of. The original movement had to do with African-Americans receiving the same rights as Whites and NOTHING else! What is "diverities" and why don't you learn how to spell correctly so you, in some small way, seem to know what you're talking about? You meant to say not to diversify every single thing which is something it never tried to do to begin with! Who asked for the minority to have MORE opportunity than the majority? All men and are created equal and look for nothing more but that equality that is spoken of but few get! EQUALITY is what it was about! RIGHT...let's NOT forget the significants of the Civil Rights movement! The significants and the significance of the Civil Rights Movement were the Blacks and the way Whites treated them. Side: No.
"Which Civil Rights Movement are you talking about?" Which one do you think I'm talking about? l: What did I not spell correctly? I do admit that I used the wrong word(you knew what I meant), But you where wrong. I spelled everything correctly. Anyways, Companies try to hard to show diversity. If everyone is created equal why does that have to matter? "Who asked for the minority to have MORE opportunity than the majority?" Collages who give minorities more of a financial break. "All men and are created equal and look for nothing more but that equality that is spoken of but few get!" They already have equality. Did you mean results? Because that is on them. Equal results where never guarantied. "the significance of the Civil Rights Movement were the Blacks and the way Whites treated them." Nope, you are seeing it wrong. The importance of the civil rights movement is that Americans came together. No good guys and bad guys. We are all good guys. It wasn't a movie. Just Americans. There is no black America there is no white America there is the United STATES of America. Obama said something like that. One of the better things he has said. Side: Yes.
I believe that everyone of us should be given equal right for whatever position as long as we are qualified and highly motivated for the job. Regardless of our gender and race. I can see no reason why you can't have the job just because of your skin color. Why, is the color now affects how you preforms at work and how you think? Side: Yes.

As much as I agree that we need to have opportunities for all, I feel that affirmative action creates more opportunities for minorities than there should be. Nowadays, some colleges factor in race, gender, and religion. It's unfair to the majority when a college must meet a quota for the number of black students, the male to female ratio, and the different numbers needed for each other race or religion. This makes it more difficult for the average white male, the majority, simply because of his gender and race. This is racism. It may seem more acceptable, but it is still racism (and sexism too). I think affirmative action is just an undercover way of making up for lost time for blacks, women, etc. Since they had no chance whatsoever many years ago, they now get a better chance. It's almost as if preferential treatment is a way of saying sorry for oppression. Side: Yes.
