JamieMemberYou are who you are. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is. It’s not you who has the problem, it’s the people around you who think the color of your skin should dictate how you act and speak. You could die your skin purple and you’d still be you. Don’t focus on your race, focus on your soul.

JamieMemberActually, not all white people do. Why is it that you feel that you can sterotype all white people without you yourself being considered a racist? That in itself can be considered ‘living above the rules.’

JamieMemberAmber, while I agree that many people who play the ‘affirmative action card’ are indeed often ignorent individuals who usually can’t accept the fact that someone of a different race was actually more qualified than them, many individuals also have a legitimate complaint. I personally think affirmative action has been handled in the wrong way. Instead of focusing on color at all, we should be focused soley on experience and ability. Affirmative action only increases the differences and tensions between the races instead of trying to honestly unify everyone and make everyone equal.

JamieMemberWhile I agree that there are cases where his comments would not apply, I think the uproar caused by his comments was largely due to the fact that the truth can hurt at times.
