    Excuses are monuments of NOTHING, that build bridges that lead to NOWHERE; and those that use these tools of INCOMPETENCE seldom become anything but nothing at all.
    LOL, I'm talking about now, not the past. No slave holders/slaves are still alive. It sucks that it happened, but no one can change the past. Why should I possibly be denied a job or education, leaving a lesser qualified person to take my place? ..to satisfy a quota? Affirmative action or any institution like the UNCF are what makes things unequal. You are obviously a proponent to this system, because it benefits YOU. The only purpose it serves now is giving an upper hand to the lazy/incompetent. Sorry that I don't feel like paying the debt of what someone else's ancestors did to your ancestors.

    I understand what you are saying here but you dont think that racism still is very much alive? Even in the way you word your sentences it is made to sound pissed off, like you have suppressed at one time by a different race.

    Haha, no anger or racism here...I just think some of these systems are out dated. I think they served their purpose well, but in today's world only infringe upon others.

    Benefits me? Wow, here we have another case of "you really don't know me". My education had nothing to do with MY color or racial makeup. My grades, degree, community service and drive did. My current position in Corp America has nothing to do with it either. I am educated and qualified.

    If you are denied an education its your fault. I don't want to hear that shit at all. Make good grades and take care of business and education is there sir.....sounds like another excuse to me. The UNCF is not stopping you at all, lol. Excuses.......

    As I stated, along with T.S., its a doubled-edged sword. Some hiring managers/employers are not hiring QUALIFIED minorites because they are MINORITIES. Some hiring managers/employers are HIRING minorites BECAUSE THEY ARE FORCED TO.

    I see the problem with it, trust me.

    Haha, way to contradict yourself there buddy. I make very good grades. What would I be making excusses for? I'm not in the least bit unsuccessful.
