Just being black quadruples your chances of admission to Harvard. The university claims that if race were not a factor, then the percentage of blacks at the school would fall to 0.6 percent, compared with the current 14 percent. The Asian share of the student body would be at least 43 percent, by Harvard’s own estimate, compared with 18 percent, if race were removed from the admissions equation.


Good job Harvard:thumbsup:
 

They finally arrested this violent thug...

Man is arrested in kicking of an elderly woman on a subway as bystanders shot video
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/24/us/new-york-elderly-woman-attack/index.html

A man who was filmed kicking a 78-year-old woman repeatedly on the subway in New York has been arrested and charged with assault, police said.

Video of the attack on a Bronx subway car has been widely shared online. It showed a tall man in glasses, a dark jacket and a knit cap forcefully kicking the woman while she was aboard a train. Bystanders recording video of the attack yelled "ooohh, ahhhh, naahh" as the man hit the woman, but they did not intervene to stop him. It's unclear what happened before the attack or whether the two know each other.

After the attack, the woman appeared to wipe away tears as she quietly sat in a corner with cell phone cameras pointed at her.

As the man walked past bystanders and off the train, he shouted "WorldStar that!" a reference to a popular site that posts videos of people involved in altercations, among other things.

Police identified the suspect as Marc Gomez, 36, of Yonkers. He was arrested Saturday in Manhattan and charged with multiple counts of assault and harassment, the NYPD said in a statement.

The attack happened on March 10, but the video did not surface until recently. After the incident, the woman rode the train one more northbound stop and was met by EMS when she exited the train, the NYPD said in a statement. It said she suffered from bleeding and swelling with cuts to the face.

She was treated and released from the hospital and is getting the care, advocacy and support she needs, NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot F. Shea said.
 
Black kids are severely disadvantaged compared to white and Asian kids when it comes to K-12 grade education in this country so I have no problem and support the ones who have a legitimate shot at getting into Harvard or similar schools getting a slight advantage in the admission process.Blacks only make up 14% at Harvard.If the whiners who had the best private schools,tutors and admission prep services can't get into the other 86% of open slots thats thier problem.

Dude, I know an Asian guy who came to this country with his parents when he 8. When he got here, he didnt know English, his parents didnt know English, they didnt know anybody, they had very little money, and they had no support system. They figured out a way to make ends meet by selling fruits and vegetables on the side of the road.

They guy is a doctor today. So what the hell is your excuse?
 
The Bell Curve -
Exhaustive research indicates that no matter what is done, African Americans, ON AVERAGE, are less intelligent, AS MEASURED BY INTELLIGENCE TESTS, (1 standard deviation from the mean), then other groups measured. You can control for income, education of the parents, whatever, and the results hold. This implies no social program will alleviate this difference.

Not everyone is 6'6".

Many liberal individuals downplay the book. It is very long (845 pages) and has a lot of statistics. I doubt few have read it in its entirety.

Here is one objection. From Scientific America - https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/the-real-problem-with-charles-murray-and-the-bell-curve/

“The Bell Curve” endorses prejudice by virtue of what it does not say. Nowhere does the book address why it investigates racial differences in IQ." If you ever wanted to know what gobbly gook is, this objection is an example. 845 pages of well researched information and the author of the critic says it is all no good because the authors - Herrnstein and Murray - did not state why they wrote the book?


The book does not explain why there is a difference in the IQ on average of Africa Americans and other groups.

There is a reason

Out of Africa. Human life emerged in Africa. Some groups were enslaved and harassed (would become European and Asian) by the dominant group in Africa (some who would become Africa American). Some of those groups that were harassed left because of abuse or other reason. Others, some who would become African Americans, stayed in Africa.

Those that left Africa and latter became groups other than African Americans encountered more severe environments. Via random mutation and natural selection of the different environments, these groups developed different skills. Some of these skills had to do with long range planning and ability to adapt quicker to changing environments.

Skinny - In the beginning some who would become African Americans were the dominant group. Suppressed group who left Africa developed different skills/genetics. As the world moved beyond Africa the skills possessed by those who stayed in Africa where not as beneficial. As the world moved beyond Africa those that had moved earlier were better suited to take advantage of the changing environment.
 
Still not likely to have the same advantages of a rich white kid.Most times I hear of a smart black kid getting into Harvard they come from a public school,a good public school but nothing compared to the 40,000 a year private schools with unlimited 50 dollar an hour tutoring most white applicants came from that most black parents could never afford .I fully support affirmative action helping those black kids get into to Harvard or other good schools.Again,Harvard is only 14% black.If another privileged white or chinese kid couldn't crack the other 86% to bad for them.

You do understand though that you're punishing those rich white kids for their parents being rich and white, right? It's the literal definition of racism. But I guess you're ok with being racist as long as it's being racist against a race you don't like.

I dont think so.They can compete against other privileged kids for the remaining 86% of open slots.
