<<from NBC (which is hardly an organization with an agenda) >> LOL! oooooh sure, of course not; I guess you agree with their agenda!! geeeez, I didn't know left-wingers could also be short-sellers; How "mean-spirited" of you ! <<Now tell me, is Bush proposing small reforms to the system or simply asking that we do away with it? >> He's not saying race can't be used as a criterion to ensure a diverse and opportunity-rich campus, he's just saying the framework used by the U of Michigan is way over the top. I agree. When rigid quotas are used to sleect students, those admitted just for the color of their skin are set up to fail and not graduate. I still have no idea what you are talking about re the North Dakotans. What's the point there? Something about a flood?

>> AA will no longer be needed when discrimination is gone << what about basketball teams? they are predominately black. shouldn't we have some sort of racial preference for whites so we can have a properly balanced racial component to the NBA? the top 50 world-class sprinters are all black. i think we need more white representation. if blacks, hispanics, and indians get 20 points added to their entrance scores just for their color, i think whites should get 3 points every time we make a basket while blacks get 2, and we should get a couple tenths knocked off our hundred meter dash time. jews dominate the media, i think we need some affirmative action for heterosexual white protestant men in that field. obviously a soft-brained self-righteous liberal such as yourself is not in favor of any of this. like all liberals, you are a total hypocrite who doesn't mind discrimination when it's against white heterosexual men. alomex, you are either jewish or you have been brainwashed by jews. which is it?
