    PE was one of the most socially conscious rap groups ever. I mean, their name was Public Enemy.

    I know that, I wanted to know if they really meant for him to be a character because of that.

    I haven't been going to see movies in the theaters lately.

    What does that have to do with whether it's qualified to be considered for a best movie Oscar?

    Because, I am surprise to see you young guys put up with this complete bull shit. It is a misuse of the word, and it was just recently conjured up. You notice, dviss doesn't even think people would notice the bull shit. He can't explain what he really means and won't even believe it affected my daughter. She was turned down at Stanford to allow them to achieve their "diversity" goals. Not sure why he won't believe it, it has to be obvious someone is going to suffer the consequences of skewing the selection criterion. Otherwise there is no point in doing so.

    You are part of a significant majority now, what the hell you guys going to do, march off to the ovens? Perhaps some bright fellow will get to work on just how many should be living here. I think they would find we are damn close to max already. You can't make a living on the unused land that remains you know. On one hand the liberal will wail about climate change, but at the same time, clamor for open boarders! Hell man, it makes no sense at all to permit your nation to become (over) populated with more people than you can feed.
    You (white) should not become a minority, if you go along with this prophecy, your nation is totally out of control and will not be able to sustain it's people.

    IMDB rating has nothing to do with whether it's qualified to be a Best Picture nominee.

    I don't believe it because it's coming from you. Nor do I believe that happens in this country. You're basically saying (not sure why you don't just say it) your daughter wasn't accepted to Stanford because she's white. Not sure why you don't understand why that would be something that would be hard for me to believe.

    Nay. Those are your words, not mine. I know what they said, "diversity" goals. It has to be obvious someone is going to suffer the consequences of skewing the selection criterion. Otherwise there is no point in doing so.

    This argument reminds me of Abigail Fischer complaining about losing her spot to texas I believe to a minority. But it was proven there were white people with worse grades and such picked over her cause there is a variety of reasons why they pick someone to go to their school.

    Lets be honest, it's not hard to get into a state school. Osu and uo automatically get you in if you have like a 3.25 gpa in high school.

    The funny thing about Fischer was she argued against affirmative action, which I believe has been proven to have benefited white women over any other group of people

    Doesn't seem far fetched to me. However, they could search applicant's families message board posts also.

    I see you using the word believe, well I can understand you not having any faith in me, and I hardly give a shit. I make these post mostly for people that care to think.
    When an institutions skews the selection criterion to give more weight to a specific group of people, then it is a mathematical reality that someone will be excluded that otherwise would
    qualify. That would be the purpose of adding weight for the group. Yes the favored group is blacks, that is a matter of public record. Yes it is whites that suffer the targeted exclusion,
    that is also a matter of public record. You may not believe in the things you might believe in, but denying the way mathematics works can't be fixed.

    You're barking up the wrong tree on immigration if you think I'm for it. Nothing could be further (farther?) from the truth.

    I don't care because the people who come here aren't white, I care because we can't afford to take them.

    Arguing over words means little to me. Black people have been fucked over here. It's true and it still happens. It doesn't affect me so I have no reason to deny it.

    The problem with ways government goes about fixing it is like everything else they do. It goes too far and has too many unintended (or undeclared) consequences.

    I'm not going to live forever so I don't care if we all turn brown. The most beautiful girl I've ever met was a blonde Norwegian, so if it was up to me that is all we'd let move here. But, it isn't.

    Easy big fella! I am just trying to point out that a whole lot of white people in this country had no hand in fucking over the black man. Nor are they willing to be fucked over as part of the make up plan.
