Friends, both alum and doctors raised five smart, well rounded, likeable kids who all wanted to attend Cal, three entering medicine, one law and one business. All were rejected in spite of perfect GPAs and high SATs, solely because they are Chinese-American. <br /><br />They went to Cornell, Yale and Princeton and dad's generous annual donations followed them. <br /><br />The most maddening part is that many of the AA students really do not have the founding to keep up and they drop out. I can't imagine what that does to their self esteem...but the diversity beast has been satiated, and collateral damage swept under the left's rug of smug righteousness. <br /><br />And don't even get me started on antisemitism at Cal.<br /><br />I don't know how some of these people can sleep at night.BJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447134335568803085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19821761559268160652011-09-13T14:16:08.551-05:002011-09-13T14:16:08.551-05:00@AL

The Fox-Piven push for taking it to the streets is being planned all over the social media of mulitple far left and progressive sites. The plan: to bring the chaos of Europe into our streets.<br /><br />These people are cornered. They have pushed hard to get Obama and he has worked hard under the radar to regulate leftist policy into place without public transparency. They thought they had pulled it off...and then along came Breitbart, Beck, Palin, Levin, et all and the Tea Party. <br /><br />Momentum has shifted.

They skip over intellectual argument and go straight to feelings, nothing more than feelings. C'mon everyone, let's put on a show (of solidarity). Is the intellectual argument supporting this discrimination so well known that it doesn't bear repeating? Or maybe it's grown stale, very stale, and it's embarrassing to recall it, much less say it out loud. Or maybe it was never a particularly compelling argument in the first place, being discriminatory and all, and they're going hard on what's worked in the past; projecting their fucking racist feelings on to everyone except themselves.

Blacks and Latinos fell behind thanks to Bush, No Child Left Behind, the two illegal wars started by Bush, the Patriot Act, Bush and the Republicans fealty to Big Oil and Halliburton, the denial of global warming, and Bush's failed attempt to cull the minority populations through Hurricane Katrina. And let's not forget the impact on not only African-Americans and Latinos, but on women, children, and gays, who are hardest hit by Republican malfeasance. Remember, a vote for Perry/Palin/Romney, etc is a vote for Bush!

For objective criteria like test scores, you can see a difference between how one group is treated and how the other is treated. So you can say, "a black applicant with is as likely to be admitted as a white applicant with 150 more SAT points"<br /><br />2 - number of disfavored persons displaced. Count the number of whites/asians who aren't at the school, who would be there, if there was no AA policy.<br /><br />Liberals want AA policies. They want extensive, thorough policies. And they DON'T want us to measure how severe those policies are. They don't ever want to admit that a particular person was denied entry, or got in, because of AA.<br /><br />But if no particular people were denied entry because of AA, and no particular people got in because of AA, then there wouldn't <i>be</i> an effective AA policy at all.
