1774??? 300 years??? lmao It's 1776 dumbass and its 188 years. I am all for discussion, but this guy is a fuckin screaming idiot. He's the Black Rush Limbaugh. They are both idiots.

And, yes they both took the same exam. The one who studied harder, and put in the effort, made the better grade.

Focus on the anecdote which is the real moral of the story. Never allow yourself to get bogged down with minor wedge type issues unless of course that minor wedge type issue is what you're hanging your tin foil hat on.

Well since Trump has started the repeal of Obamacare ..... maybe he should look into doing the same thing with Affirmative Action ..... yeah it'll probably never happen but we can dream, can't we? .....

Lets get rid of legacy based admissions while we're at. Legacy based admissions (that benefits whites) is far worse than Affirmative Action.

Why?

Because it means you get in a university based on your parents having attended and their financial contribution / donation to the school. This means as a legacy based admission even if the white student gets a failing grade they're allowed to stay because mommy or daddy wrote a big check to the school. Conversely if you're Affirmative Action you have to make the grades or else you're out. So again who's really dumbing down curriculum's across this great nation of ours.

Y'all already know the answer but if it makes you feel better then go ahead close your eyes, turn a blind eye, and pretend I'm telling a lie.

we don't have to pretend

University of Minnesota admission

The U of M had night school, admission to that consisted of a warm body that could write a check for the class cost. If that class is passed then one earned real U of M credits. Get almost a year of academic credit then one could be admitted to the regular U of M via Advanced Standing.
Except i fell on my face trying to take a second year engineering math class.

Fast forward ~25 years. I am at a Technical College with almost a two year degree and I was not put on the 'President's List'. I asked a counselor why. he came back and was shocked to learn that I was never properly admitted as I just registered as an 'Adult Special' and took one and later two classes at a time. That place had morning, afternoon and night classes as well as some classes on Saturday.
