ha ha ha, no your right...i did try to spice up the gentleman just a little bit with the whole AOA thing...only because i thought it would stick into the faces of some of these posters....i'm sorry again (for getting caught heh heh 😀 )

Yeah, you're not sorry about lying. Just about getting caught. Let's be clear here: IF this guy was super-qualified, that's fine -- I don't care about him in particular. If you want to pretend all AA admissions are these well-qualified Nobel Prize-winning applicants who just happen to have sucky scores, go right ahead. And even if they were, what gives URMs the right to have the chance to prove they are "more than their scores" when whites and ORMs don't get that chance?

However, the fact that you felt the need to lie about this particular person just shows what you are willing to do in order to "prove" that AA works. That's pathetic. If you have to stoop to lying and misrepresentation -- and then dancing around in glee until you get caught -- that shows how strong your argument is and it shows how ethical you are.

Then again, I don't know why I'm surprised. After all, AA is just a method of "spicing up" the applications of URMs, too. So I guess at least you are being consistent.

Hats off to leechy for fact-checking.

No offense, but this is really irrelevant. In essence, you're advocating taking "the best of the worst" (the cream of the sewage). If black applicants are doing that poorly that the best they can offer as a group is someone with a 3.5/28, then someone needs to tell them to hit the books. I don't think blacks are genetically dumber than non-blacks, so I don't think that's too much to ask. In the meantime, admitting the "best they have to offer" is pretty unfair to everyone else AND sends the message that you don't need to improve.[/QUO


its not about genetics it about (most) not being able to afford quality eduaction in the younger years, and have to catch up with those that did in college, that is pretty brave to me.. because where i am from, if you dont live in a good neighborhood, then you go to the schools that have less funding.. less funding equals lower quality of teachers, lower quality of teachers equals not gettting optimum education to prepare you for college, not enough college prep equals, bust your buns off in college just to get on the same level as those that had the best education.. and some are courageous to go through that, and if they do they you all should commend them for making it that far, i know i do

Replying to kinetic is possibly the most useless thing in existence.

Ancient thread.

Closing.
