The problem with AA is it assumes a black and white world which is a thing of the past, thats my issue with it. Otherwise I'd be for it.

I agree. Back in the 1960s-1970ss the vast majority of blacks had been discriminated against, severely so. We needed a fast and dirty solution that could quickly reverse that trend. AA was that. Today we can afford to be more selective in the application of the program.... less emphasis in color and more on means and background.

All the same opponents of AA need to acknowledge that racism is still around, although not as prevalent as before, as evidenced by the NBC study or Trent Lott's comment.

>> actually fox is something of a blessing. It shows these nasty conservatives for what they are, mean spirited and all of that just like the stereotypes <<

all the so-called "conservatives" on fox news are zionist neo-conservatives. william kristol, editor of the so-called conservative publication the weekly standard, is jewish. (rupert murdoch owns the weekly standard). fred barnes is constantly on fox news and he works right along with his jewish buddy kristol at the weekly standard. charles krauthammer is on all the time as well and he is jewish and supposedly conservative. bill o'reilly has jews producing his show like stacey hohcheiser and dan cohen. no surprise why he is never critical of israel. sean hannity bends over backwards to be pro-israel, and will never say anything negative of jews either. he knows his career will go absolutely nowhere if he angers the jews.

fox news is full of nasty 'conservatives' alright. jewish ones!
