^I'm tired of hearing that I am not qualified for something. You want to complain how much AA is racist and you are being racist yoruself, so what does it matter.

It does help me overcome racial circumstances. You cannot say it doesn't because you are not black you have not faced what black people have faced. I actually hate when people say stuff like what i said but it is so true. Growing up black you have to face so many obstacles because people hate yo ufor being black and even worse they try to hide their racism which is to me worse than being blunt and saying that they hate black people. Nobody can truly no the black mans struggle. Seriously. Ya'll are Asian and white you have stereotypes but ya'll stereotypes are positive. All asians are smart,white people have money. Then what do I get faced with? Black people are stupid,poor, and will never amount to anything. All we do is live off of welfare and do drugs and have kids. I don't know but there was nothing positive about what people think of me. AA is a means of help to me. I have to work HARDER than the "average" white person just to be known. AA will help me get into places where they probably wouldn't allow me in even though i am a very smart and ambitous person. People can say what they want to say about AA but in reality it does help. How can somebody who is not black who is not in the program tell me that it is hurting me and my kind. How would they know they didn't interview black students. I would go to an all black school but i don't want to limit myself there are good black schools such as Spellmen, Xavier(in new orleans),Morehouse(a male college),Dillard, Howard and so on. But without AA blacks would decline in apply to those white colleges because they already know that the dean of admissions would by pass them because they are black thinking that blacks can't do anything. I'm tired of that. People who are not involved in the AA program can say what they want and can say it is hurting me, when all actuality they don't even know what it is about.
