Most of the suffragettes were racist, but to be fair so were most people

Was wrong it took JFK to die for the 1964 civil rights act to move through

@Emperor of USA it will and should spread, because macron is leading them toward the demise of france itself

margaret sanger was racist

but i bet she was a suffragette

Yeah she was a suffragette

A feminist idol

Lmfao

y was it wrong, the civil rights act was terrible for the country.

unsuffragettably horrible

Hmmm @Paradox

?

gave us shit like affirmative action and the government telling us who we can or can't sell to in our own shops.

Lol

Honestly something I’ve been thinking about is that it feels like we are struggling with our past and future as a culture;increasing and growing progressivism and a growing reactionary sentiment that are battling each other. And I worry we’re going to collapse to one of the extremes; either full communism or full fascism

Affirmative action in itself wasnt the bad part

the irony, is the state was doing that before.

so the fed governemnt did it so the state couldn't, all fucked up

It was the community that took advantage of it.

i disagree regarding AA @SantaSoc

Wym then

Im okay with AA but if so then on an individual basis.

An intelligent child of poor parents, yeah sure, give him a scholarship

Outside of implementing it, what problems did the government cause with it?

but dont tie it to race

Yeah but it was tied

Thats what i was getting at

i see

it also demeans the instituion's value to have people in because race card, why not just expand and accept more students?

@Misomania welll that depends

The White Man getting more goodies than us, we need to flood the market

@Misomania more studentsjust so they can fail? Not desirable i would argue. Thats what happens alot due to AA

once you fill your population via quota rather then merit, you inherently lower the value of all those involved @Redneo you could just expand and have a seperate campus

@Misomania well exactly.

Affirmative action displace meritocracy

@Misomania thats what i was saying

Displaces

@Misomania AA should be BASED on meritocracy and promoting the best

scholarships do that

Thats why we have shit doctors entering the field

@Misomania Yeah, they do.
