WHO you know, is more important than WHAT you know more often than people think.
My pops was a realtor/mortgage broker for 20 years before being a VC... so much of that world is handshakes on the golf course or over dinner.
Which is exactly what Affirmative Action was meant to correct. All of the people giving out work in governmental entities were white because we were forbidden from participating. Just like in your instance, they tended to award contracts to people who they knew, who were also white because we tend to hang around people who look like us.
They may not have been being malicious, but that is just how shit naturally works.....SO set-aside programs said that at least 10% of those contracts have to go to minorities.....because otherwise they don't get in the game......now, once in the game and having proven themselves....they become a part of the scene....but it is cracking that circle that needs the original push.
That’s better than Latinos.
I wonder if the Spanish and Portuguese have figured out a way to incorporate the merging of genders. A mariconos with tatas.
Asians, your people of color Allies, have linked up with whites against you. Asians being against affirmative action which in actuality helps them most. The stats show that white women and Asians get most of that shit.
Also, do you know where else it’s going? Yep, jobs and housing. That’s next!
All they had to do was get some black faces to hide behind to do their evil. They know you niggaz love that ‘first black’ shit and no tangibles so you’d be blinded by it.
But for decades niggaz been told to create their own jobs, grow their own food, etc but didn’t listen. Niggaz wanted integration not self sufficiency. You thought whites wanted to keep giving you jobs?

2008 exposed the rednecks and 2016 exposed the pro-whites.

Asian apologists like @Dr. Truth / @Dr. Fiction are the same ones claiming to be pro-black when they are all Chinese everything offline.
Dr Truth is a cocksucker. When shit like this happens, he and others like him do what they always do which is make Trump or Republican threads. They always have to deflect from real shit that’s happening.

Just curious do you have that picture saved on your hard drive? Thats kinda weird if you ask me.
It’s the fact that he really does disappear whenever he sees it.
That’s the intent of all their actions.

How the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action may change the future of college
If race-conscious admissions falls, some schools are expected to use household incomes and ZIP codes to enroll diverse classes.06/22/2023 12:55 PM EDT
The Supreme Court seems destined to end its term with a big rollback of the tool colleges employ to boost racial diversity on their campuses.
What’s unclear is how schools fashion race-neutral workarounds to fill that gap — or if the ruling pushes colleges to retreat on a goal that’s been a priority for decades.
Affirmative action in higher education has endured by relying on moderate justices like the late Sandra Day O’Connor, but the court remade by former President Donald Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sounded prepared to end it during oral arguments in October.
If race-conscious admissions fall, some better-resourced schools are expected to use household incomes, ZIP codes, targeted recruiting programs and other indirect methods to prop up their commitment to diversity. But among the nine states that banned the practice at their colleges years ago, the schools don’t present many lessons on how to boost the number of Black and brown students without it.
“There is no substitute for race-based affirmative action,” said Liz King, senior education program director at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, which represents more than 230 national organizations. “Affirmative action is a critical part of ensuring racial justice and equity in higher education.”
The high court’s decision hinges on two cases where Students for Fair Admissions is challenging race-conscious practices at Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill — the nation’s oldest private and public universities.
At its core, the group, which says it represents about 20,000 students, has alleged that Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asian American applicants. It has also spent decades trying to get the court to overturn a ruling in the landmark Grutter v. Bollinger case, which has shaped college admissions policies since 2003. But education groups and civil rights advocates argue that banning the use of race altogether will exacerbate inequality for years to come. A race-blind admissions standard, they say, fails to account for barriers Black and brown students often face.
Here are four areas that will change or intensify if the Supreme Court ends affirmative action in college admissions:
A narrow ruling vs. an expansive takedown
After confirming that the justices officially put an end to affirmative action in higher education, the first thing lawyers, policymakers and the press will be speed-reading to find out is just how broad the majority decides to go: Will the opinion purely focus on colleges or will it suggest ending the practice in hiring as well?Some civil rights groups and education advocates have also said they are worried that organizations seeking to restrict the use of race-based affirmative action might find an opening to limit gender-focused programs as well.
The Supreme Court sets its own rules, but David Hinojosa, who argued on behalf of a group of students opposed to the suit against UNC, said he expects the justices to hew narrowly to the issue brought to them.
“The question before the court is whether or not you can use race as a plus-factor in admissions,” said Hinojosa, an attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. It’s that particular “tool” for diversifying freshman classes that’s facing criticism, he said, not the goal.
A ruling in favor of SFFA isn’t likely to upend federal programs for historically Black colleges and other minority-serving institutions, Hinojosa said. It won’t affect student affinity groups, anti-bias training for students and faculty, diversity and inclusion programs, employment or hiring. He also doubted that programs promoting women in the admissions process would be affected “because race is subject to higher scrutiny by the court.”
Civil rights groups also batted down speculation that students won’t be able to write about their experiences or racial identity in their college essays, something many justices are likely to see as a violation of free speech.
College admissions officers will grasp for workarounds
Affirmative action is already banned in California, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Arizona, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Idaho — and none of them offer a clear path for schools like Harvard or UNC.California became the first state to ban the consideration of race and gender in hiring and public school admissions with Proposition 209. But lawmakers in the deep blue state have been unable to rescind it as the state’s public university system has struggled with enrolling diverse classes. (Washington state banned the practice in 1998 but lifted the restriction in 2022.)
After the initiative was adopted, underrepresented student enrollment “dropped precipitously at [the University of California], and dropped by 50 percent or more at UC’s most selective campuses,” the university system wrote in an amicus brief siding with UNC and Harvard.
To stem their losses, the University of California implemented race-neutral measures, including outreach programs to low-income students and students from families with little or no college experience.
“Those programs have enabled UC to make significant gains in its system-wide diversity,” the president and chancellors wrote. “Yet despite its extensive efforts, UC struggles to enroll a student body that is sufficiently racially diverse to attain the educational benefits of diversity.”
College admissions counselors across the country are also brainstorming ways to preserve diversity on campus if they can’t use race.
Angel Pérez, CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, has said the future of diversity on campus could rely heavily on targeted recruitment and a student’s ZIP code.“If the court said you can’t use race, what it means is that that box is probably going to go away,” he said in an interview last year. “But it doesn’t mean that colleges and universities will not be making some pretty educated guesses around the students’ backgrounds.”
The Supreme Court could tinker with admissions minutiae
The legal campaign against Harvard includes one highly specific target: the school’s use of a “personal rating.”Lower courts have given the practice a pass but Students for Fair Admissions has pointed out that Asian American usually have lower personal rating scores than Black and Latino applicants, which are based in part on letters of recommendation and an essay.
And with some justices clearly skeptical of the rating system, it’s clear that schools have to be mindful of their seemingly race-neutral admissions techniques — and understand the Supreme Court’s interest in them.
“The record shows that Asian student applicants get the lowest personal scores of any other group,” Justice Samuel Alito said in October. “What accounts for that? It has to be one of two things: It has to be that they really do lack integrity, courage, kindness and empathy to the same degree as students of other races or there has to be something wrong with this personal score.”
Disparities among personal scores have been a key part of SFFA’s argument to ban race-conscious admissions, and it’s helped the group garner support from Asian Americans who believe elite schools are intentionally excluding them.
“Asian American children have suffered severely from this kind of discrimination,” said Mike Zhao, Asian American Coalition for Education president, in an interview. “Asian Americans have been regarded as the highest-income, best educated racial group in America. But under this discrimination, our children have to hide their racial identity when applying to schools. That’s a shame. That is social injustice.”
Zhao, whose group backs SFFA, said Asian American students face a higher admission standard than other minority students, and many carry overwhelming class loads. Some even experience depression or consider suicide, he said.
Congress may have a role to play post-decision
Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the House Education and Workforce Committee, said Congress may have to address admissions barriers for underrepresented students — including standardized tests or legacy admission policies — if the Supreme Court strikes down the use of race in college admissions.“One of the problems is … there didn’t seem to be any consideration given to the discriminatory measures they now use, like performance on a standardized test,” Scott told POLITICO, adding that he expects more legal challenges to these barriers for students if race-conscious admissions policies are ruled illegal.
During oral arguments, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar also said the government’s view is that eliminating admissions preferences for children of alumni, donors, faculty and staff may enable a university to meet its diversity goals.
“If you’re using legacy, if you’re using developmental admits — where you’re going to reach parents to hit up for contributions — standardized tests, which are notoriously discriminatory, what kind of K-12 school you went to in terms of opportunity,” Scott said, “if you can use those and affirmative action, you can almost say no harm, no foul. If you get rid of affirmative action, all you’ve got is a series of discriminatory screens.”

Damn no more affirmative action....poor karens and beckys...
they benefitted more than anyone else from affirmative action...
they benefitted more than anyone else from affirmative action...
Flooding every HR department with their bullshit.And the dizzy, passive-aggressive bitches still didn't outearn the men. Meanwhile, Asian women don't need the shit to earn more than cacs. Shit is hilarious.

yea but those are the rich asian women from wealthy families and the ones that were top of their class, but the poor ones,
are pickin toe cheese out of fat bitches feet for tips...
they deserve every dollar they get bruh......
I dont know what it is but beckys look down on Asians hard...
I had more than one tell me... if a bruh gets an asian woman he usually has
other options... they say if dwight man marries an asian, its because he couldnt get
a becky or karen.. Im like gatdam, they sure feel some type of way about asian females....
Personally I think asian woman know how to treat a man better than a becky does...
but a sistar once she KNOWS she can trust you... aint nothing like that type of force backin you
up in the Multiverse bruh!!!
Shit, that's poor, rich, and middle Asians coming up. The few we had in my school back in the day were always top and my area wasn't rich. And they never really did shit after school. And yeah, naturally the dizzy Asians going to have to get in where they fit in, so nails it is.
Think it's more non-American women vs American women. And some of those Asians might only be one generation here, so they might still have real woman values and not this warped, feminist fuck shit. But hey, same goes for men, the modern American man ain't exactly what a man should be.
I think white men/Asian women is the most popular IR relationship.
Man, I'm doing the hokey pokey up in BGOL something serious because I see all these insane posts and I want to engage... but then I know it'll be days and maybe weeks before I can respond and it feels disrespectful to be on some monologue type shit and I delete my posts.
Are we against Affirmative Action now? Lol, I hate that I have to ask this on a black forum.

At some point you’re going to have to realize that user names are probably white. These posters aren’t dumb in search of the right knowledge to set them on the right path.

Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone
Studies show affirmative action helps white women as much or more than others
While people of color, individually and as groups, have been helped by affirmative action in the subsequent years, data and studies suggest women — white women in particular — have benefited disproportionately. According to one study, in 1995, 6 million women, the majority of whom were white, had jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise held but for affirmative action.
First Affirmative Action.
Second…The Civil Rights Act.

I for one am not against AA, but it's more a 'reap what you sow' situation going on here(old saying of playing checkers, not chess).Man, I'm doing the hokey pokey up in BGOL something serious because I see all these insane posts and I want to engage... but then I know it'll be days and maybe weeks before I can respond and it feels disrespectful to be on some monologue type shit and I delete my posts.

As you know, studies on admissions regarding race go back well over 60 years(maybe earlier, but lets start with the Ivy league shit closer to civil rights). The less than 1 million Asians in the country at that time weren't even considered. And, if we are talking brown skinned Indians, most Americans never even seen one when some of the studies started.
Well, Asians(including brown skin indians who seem to dominate medicine and probably treat all these cacs) came in and fucked up the soup. BIG TIME. Black community(well, the eggheads and shills) didn't see this coming. How could they? It's all about 'white supremacy". So whites would never, ever, ever, ever allow another group to straight up own them, right?
Well, Asians came in and did just that(well, cacs have been trying to suppress Asian numbers at colleges for a minute and they still lose). We got the math to prove it.
And here we are. I know we will disagree on this, but Asians who took advantage of the Civil Rights movement have basically killed AA. It's shameful how the community got played. Now goalposts have to be moved and even brown skin indians who had nothing to do with 'model minority' are basically considered white.
Now this ain't like Irish, Italian, east euros, Jews, in the early 20th, these are Indians who are brown and east Asians who look nothing like cacs. We keep being told these cacs afraid of 'brown' people, yet they imported all these brown Indians to play doctor and play with tech. And will get in front of congress and beg for more brown people.
Community has to start playing fucking chess. This shit is ridiculous.
Crazy, isn't it. Like many said, if the program/legislation doesn't have BLACK specifically in it, everyone else will cut the line.Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone

Since it is Pride Month and their great leader is visiting the WH, I decided to entertain some of their schemes that waste your time, and divert your attention. They believe you, like some pet should drop what you are doing no matter how important, and play around with some nonsense they got going similar to many WS.
1. They use Asians and Indians for a multitude of things such as racist masking, which impacts our ability to get reparations. Let say I buy some professional sports team with years of revenue history under white ownership. There is a white revolt now against the black ownership, this is a bad look for WS internationally. They will bring them in as a owner of a expansion team.
Lining our pocket with reparations, defeats this retarded plan.
2. Here they are tampering with the employment system. https://www.bgol.us/forum/threads/w...iters-is-futile-for-domestic-workers.1194360/
3.
Attacking ESG and DEI, causing companies to suffer, DEI hires are hurting profitiability. If you can get these trillion dollar investment firms to just focus on profitability, this will open up the flood gates to companies like college admissions to fill their ranks with them.
If you take over these colleges, you are going to need a job. I saw some Indian politicians going after EEOC, government contracts requirements.
Once they get the college admissions, they are going after ESG scores and DEI hires at companies. It will look like Silicon Valley.
