My school has two historically black fraternities and sororities. They make sure to say "all are welcome" to attend their events. Does anyone who isn't black attend? Not unless they're dating someone in it. Thats called CYA. Its pretty smart, but its also a load of PC police pleasing bullshit.

FYI there are black people in the vast majority of the IFC fraternities. Now thats a thinker.

/my input regarding this topic. I'm out guys. You want to see real racial tensions go to France and say "arab" in public.

100%

Actually, they are two separate networks, however under the same Viacom umbrella...Perhaps something to be learned from their coexistance?

That may be true to some extent today.
However back in 2002 if it meant hiring
a minority then the so called hire the best coach
and win games" mentality was not part of the
ownership/attitude equation period.

Back then you still had people who were
of the mind that certain people didn't have
the mental capacity to lead a team as a
Quarterback. So how in the world could they
coach?......

I used to listen to this guy Tom Leykis, kind of like a Howard Stern, but more of the topcs were about sex and anti-marriage/religion based coversations. www.leykisonline.com Listen to the Leykis 101 and Ask the Athiest online recordings...always gave me a good laugh.

Anyways, over years of listening to his show, I remember how he was speaking w/ doctors about health care reform, schooling of doctors, etc and there we're people who made comments along the lines of how affirmative action has required employeers to hire people to keep a quote of races instead of who best fit the position. So either you can have the guy who went to the best college in the nation, or maybe they hired the guy who went to the best college in his country, but is working from 20yr old technology...but at least the company kept its quota. Awesome world we live in.

Ah yes. You mean quotas correct based on affirmative action correct?
We are talking about the same affirmative action for bankers, farmers, and entitlements. correct?

Perhaps some history might help.

In the last seventy years of social engineering, the vast majority of direct beneficiaries of affirmative action policies were not minorities; they were white males. Preferential social policies for those in need were not invented by civil rights leaders. Under Franklin Roosevelt, whom most white Americans still revere, the New Deal embarked upon a massive affirmative action approach to social crisis. With the critical exception of segregation, Americans approached their social problems -- unemployment, poverty of senior citizens, re-entry needs of veterans and GIs, farmers needing price supports -- through planned social engineering. The post World-War II Marshall Plan, a plan that provided billions of dollars for training and jobs, was a massive affirmative action plan for Europe. Former enemies got free training programs in Europe that were denied Black GIs at home in America.
