Today at 12:41. Is affirmative action still necessary? – amFIX - CNN.com Blogs
Source: amfix.blogs.cnn.com
With the election Barack Obama, some people are taking a second look at affirmative action. After all, they say, if an African-American can become president, does the nation still need a government policy to address the effects of past discrimination?
What do you think... Is affirmative action still necessary? Join the conversation...
Heather Bradford Turnage at 13:29 on 17 July
I've noticed that most of the people vocally in favor of affirmative action have capitalization, grammar and spelling errors in their comments. Again, educational equity is the problem. No one wants to hire someone who can't spell or whose sentences are difficult to understand!
LaMonica Williams at 14:56 on 17 July
@ Heather ..Your quasi insult in regards to people using CAPITALIZATION , PUNCTUATION , & GRAMMAR MECHANICS didn't go unnoticed. Are you saying if you are IN FAVOR it is because you are "DUMB" and uneducated. I think you should know two factors. This is the internet. This is a heated issue..People type fast and make mistakes, Cps are used to bring ... Read morea point to your attention...and many people try to express themselves using everyday verbiage. But don't make the mistake that online dialogue is a proper way of accessing a person's ability to do a job.
Paul MacLean at 15:37 on 17 July
@Lamonica...yes, we see your point and understand, but I REALLY don't think that Heather wasnt exactly saying that people who use caps and punctuation(s) inappropiately or just plain simply different, are necessarily "dumb"...In her defence, she was just simply stating that people may read and understand another one's comment/opinion or note ... Read moredifferently..and that's not insulting to anyone at this point...Perhaps you could always ask Heather, politely, for her definition and terminology of her previous comment or note(s), instead of lashing out at her and accusing her of militously insulting others (especialy to other minorities or anyone for that matter)...Im quite sure she has a plausible reason, or explanation...
LaMonica Williams@ Paul.. I never "lashed out" as you put it. I simply pointed out the fact that her comment did not go unnoticed. And Paul..TRUST ME, when I say, I know a quasi insult when I see one. As I am very well known for making them myself. So I never miss them. I have been nothing but polite, and I don't know where you saw different, or if that's just what... Read more YOU WANT to see. You obviously missed the point that many think that affirmative action is put in place for the less educated, the less intelligent and the less capable at the expense of the opposite end. Eluding to the notion that the people who speak in FAVOR for it have many spelling, punctuation & grammatical errors is her way of reiterating a false notion, when we all know that online jargon , verbiage and expression differs from speaking to a person face to face. I don't need anyone to tell me what she meant.Just like you see my directly pointing it out as "lashing Out", I see her comments as snarky. Which it was .And you know it.
LaMonica Williams@ Paul also..before you try to Correct me in my response to Heather..you need to know, that you spelled the word "DEFENSE" as "defence" and the word "Maliciously " as "mitlitously"...So you should know that when she is talking about people who shouldn't get jobs because of spelling errors..She is TALKING ABOUT YOU!
Laura Harris @LaMonica, relax, I think we're all agreeing here. I'm guessing Paul is from Europe, where defense is spelled with a "c."
Paul MacLean@Lamonica...Oops!!, I do apologize for my poor spelling/grammatical errors...but at the sametime...I guess, I did misread your comment towards Heather, and I'm sorry if you feel any indifference towards the way I see things...but I will point out though, just as you had advised before, it is only FaceBook, and the internet, and these are somewhat ... Read morecandid opinions and views....Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I guess, it's just how others read and understand things...but Im still not sure if she was really TALKING about people like myself, and if so, then she needs to jump in explain or clarify her thoughts to us...Again, I apologize if you feel diffrently, but, initially, that's how I read and understood your view, on wot Heather had to say..that's all!!
Joseph VicencioNo more affirmative action! Race isn't an issue the way it used to be anymore. Race is only an issue to those ignorant enough that don't pay attention to the way the world has changed in the last few years.
On the flip side, affirmative action is still important to those who keep viewing themselves as victims. These groups of 'complainers' need to... Read more come to grips with the fact that 'moving up' in your careers isn't a matter of black or white...or even male or female. It's a combination of hard work, EDUCATION, and being in the right place at the right time.
There are those who want things handed to them because of what their ancestors went through, or because of what the perception of their culture may be. Get over it!
The truth is that we set our own stereo-types in our own cultures. It seems like a joke to most, but certain stereo-types are true ONLY because there are those of us who prove it to be! Change the perception through accomplishment! We can ALL do it!
Paul MacLeanThank you Laura!!
Yesterday at 16:55
Paul MacLean I agree with Joseph V....I think he's really made a point, when he said "race isn't an issue, the way it was many years ago!!"...One's own actions AND words will influence one's own progress AND advancement in any job or school, and which is why, in my earlier comment, I've suggested that, Affirmtive Action ought to be re-examined and repassed as a... Read more different act all together...,times have changed, and so have people (at least the way they thinki)...Mind you though, Im still very proud and honoured to live in the times where black people have actually progressed and advanced, from being teachers, lawyers, doctors, to even being a President...It seems to me, that Affirmtive Action has been somewot abused....and by all, including Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc..Im just all about the quality and quantity of skills that one may possess in order to get them through life...Im surpirised that colour (for example), gender, sexual orintation, are even an issues nowadays....
Yesterday at 17:32
LaMonica Williams @Rob...It sounds like your city SUCKS.Although I believe the whole firefighter issue was a SUCK A$$ decision , NO WAY those scores should have been thrown out, you don't pass what is put in front of you, you shouldn't penalize the people who did well. The white firefighters were dealt a raw deal, and their grievance was reasonable and valid. But ... Read moreyou have been expressing either some very blatantly racist sentiments, or a very "rosey colored" view of the world.
@ Paul-An apology is not wanted or warranted.My point was to address the attempt to have a very snarky, demeaning and insulting comment that she thought flew under the radar. My thing is, if you are racist, have the gumption to be proud of it. But I can assure you, you can't through out a passive /aggressive comment and believe one is too stupid to know when you are doing it.

The real problem of this whole matter on abortion is, definition...and when it was written and reviewed...Justice Ginsburg, whom I greatly admire, also stated in the article, that it is all about technicality, only because of the time frame of the last century (so Mr Gerson..please dont put words in her mouth)...all she is conveying, is that, there's a BIG difference in the wording and meaning for each case that's been presented in the past 35 years or so...Pro-lifers and pro-choicers, both, need to get off their high horses and look into this realization...that every word (such as the word "we") in every case presented, even nowadays, definitely has a different definition and meaning...so thus being said, just like anyone else, Justice Ginsburg has a right to her own opinion..whether it's candid or in a professinal setting....

The recession is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike. They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent.

Demeach Green at 18:47 on 29 June
Of course, look at whose on the bench, old white men and one dumb Negro. Hello?
Demeach Green at 19:00 on 29 June
How ignorant are you if you don't ask questions Carsie? Did you even know why the state threw out the test? It would have been reverse discrimination IF they promoted the Black guys and didn't promote the White guys. They wanted to review the test, AND NO ONE got promoted over the other so from what you call as ignorance seems to go on your end. How is it reverse discrimination if no one was fired or promoted? I would have done exactly what the judge concluded.
Mark Foye at 19:04 on 29 June
To the person's shallow comment about old white men and the dumb Negro: what a tasteless and racist remark. The judges on the court are smarter and better educated than most of us. I bet that that "dumb Negro" and those old men could vaporize your arguments in a flash and leave you talking gibberish.
Demeach Green at 19:16 on 29 June
Of course, another white man feeling sensitive. The story is about WHITE firefighters as it reads in the story. So let's look at who is on the bench. Old white men and a Negro are on the bench. And in my opinion, Clarence Thomas is dumb - point blank. I know how he votes, and his judgement is rediculous. I don't speak "gibberish" but I tell ... Read morethe truth. Sotomayor's conclusion was that the state had the right to throw out the results of the test. Since we're talking about reverse discrimination, ask yourself this, Mark. If all of the BLACK men passed the test, and the WHITE guys failed, are you saying that the state has no right to throw out the test and investigate what happened?
Paul MacLean at 19:46 on 29 June
I agree fully with Mr. Mark Foye!!
Demeach Green at 20:02 on 29 June
Well Paul, since you agree with Mark, did you know Clarence Thomas voted against the Voting Rights bill, and all of his collegues voted for the Voting Rights bill? Simply play the reverse card: If all of the BLACK men passed the test, and the WHITE guys failed, are you saying that the state has no right to throw out the test and investigate what happened?
Paul MacLean at 20:04 on 29 June
Mr. Green....where on earth did you go to school?

Phillip Wilson at 21:01 on 29 June
i kinda find it hard to believe someone sat in an office and some how some way figured a way to create a test that would only enable one race of people to pass. (maybe they wote it in an ink that only white people can read) i mean please...do you really think that anybody even has that ability EVEN IF THEY TRIED? and what would the purpose be?because they like to not have enough people? they like to be streched thin?
Demeach Green at 21:10 on 29 June

Are people calling Clinton 'Obama's other wife", or just CNN?

Take off her burqa?????? Is that some kind of twisted joke? Jeez, the things people will say to get some air time.

No doubt. What would they be saying if Clinton were a man? That he was Obama's gay lover? Totally sexist and wrong all the way around.

This is foolish. Man or woman, of course the Sec of State must play backup to the Pres. It goes with the turf.

Burqa?...wot?..I didnt even know she was wearing "one (rolling eyes)...but wait now, she's been speaking her mind all her life...in fact we've al wondered if it was really her that was running the country whilst her husband was at the helm...Hilary has a humungous responsibility to back up and support the President. Yes, it is most unfortunate that CNN and other media companies must fabricate some rediculous rumor or on-factual info. just to drum up business...Shame on CNN...they're stooping down to FOX's level of behaviour...sorry FOX fans...ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!....
