"DER TOOK DER JAWBS" - McP

The 2000 census found 1.3 million unemployed blacks and 112 million employed whites. If we some how managed to get every single unemployed black to take the job of a white (unlikely considering that the unemployed blacks aren't necessarily qualified for the jobs), only about 1% of whites would be affected.

Affirmative action shouldn't be quota based. In some cases it's a few points added to a test or on those check sheets for college admissions, but even that is oversimplified. When the choice comes down to candidates of fairly equal qualification, the minority should be chosen. This is the least we could do right now.

Just know that you can't expect to have a colorblind society by following colorblind policies - as long as there is a significant and unaddressed wealth gap, race will play a factor.

[quote]For people who are pro-reparations: what should be do with white ghettos, or ghettos of other nationalities?[/QUOTE]

This will open up a rabbit hole deeper than what should be discussed in a single community thread. I'll just leave it at this: the poor cannot be ignored, regardless of race.

Replace capitalism. Until then special consideration should be given to minorities, in this case African-Americans. Not to say 'white ghettos are of their own doing!' because that isn't true either, but whites definitely didn't have to go through slavery followed by the bad end of a century of apartheid. Denying that the last few hundred years of history has had an impact on the quality of life for African-Americans is ludicrous, and such positions would probably only be espoused by people who once used crack.

Well most of them are illegals anyways so they definitely shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of programs and whatnot that are for [I]Americans[/I].

The term "reverse discrimination" is pretty moronic. As far as affirmative action goes, all those minority groups have a history of being oppressed and because of that white males are ahead on the playing field. Why not make things fair? People really over react to it and need to calm down.

Who even brought up reverse racism in the first place? I know it wasn't me.

You would happen to be incorrect in this matter.

I couldn't even sit through that whole movie. I was blazed, too so it must've [I]really[/I] sucked.

That movie was hilarious.

Like The Big Lebowski, I can't tell if it's a straight up screwball comedy or a surprisingly deep satire. The last few scenes, with Osborne Cox giving the brief monologue where he says "you represent the idiocy of today" and the last couple of lines, with the bigwig CIA guy saying "What did we learn from all of it?" and the other guy responding "I just don't know" make me think that the Coens are trying to say something with it. There are clearly some themes that run through the movie - almost every character is deceptive (except perhaps the gym owner who just can't man up to talk to Linda - even though he is on the butt end of the 'idiocy of today' speech), one half of the cast seems concerned with the mind and heart while the rest are concerned with their bodies, and almost every single character in the movie is a moron.

4/5

pretty sure the movie is saying ****tards pervade every part of society.

it was good, could have had more laughs

That's the best I could come up with, but I'm not sure I'm satisfied with that. It's definitely saying at least that though. I mean, the directors of the CIA are shown to be just as inept as the personal trainers.

i loved it... brad pitt is so awesome in it. i felt really bad though when

SPOILER WARNING

Everyone felt bad during that part. His face right before it happens is hilarious but makes you feel all the more worse.

"Well did we recover the body?"
"Yes."
"What was he? Foreign? One of ours?"
"Scraped of I.D."

I loved the movie, but was also saddened when he dies that early on.

I don't know what movie you're talking about, but I'll assume it blows.

Yeah it was pretty lame.

So Justin, upon getting back into Taking Back Sunday, I have to say I like Where You Want To Be more than Tell All Your Friends.

I agree.
