About time...Ohio State and Miami accused of racial bias

You lost me with the "WTF?". Is that proper English or did you get that from your study of Textese? The first 3 words of the next sentence reveal even more about your literacy. Speaking of glass houses...

Just give up. This isn't a challenge any more.

Well, chikin won this battle of the wits.

R U ruly ignorant of the commonly used "WTF" (surely commonly used in response to your comments)? Or do you think it somehow furthers your argument to pretend to be shockingly stupid?

Run of the mill stupid and dishonest or simply world class stupid. Which are ye?

I await your next ego preserving claim of victory, you cringe inducing, pathetic racist

Not ignorant, just educated. I don't commonly use text communication when I'm discussing something serious. Using LOL's, WTF's, OMG's and other trite and immature abuses of the English language isn't my style. But it is damning evidence when determining the intellectual capacity of anonymous posters.

"Accusation. Statement with no supporting evidence. Another accusation. Insult."

Yep that looks about right.

Dishonest, pompous, illiterate, racist. Where to begin?

"...it is damning evidence when determining the intellectual capacity of anonymous posters". Has an uglier phrase ever been written in the English language?

Language's prime purpose is to communicate, not to demonstrate one's inability to string together a bunch of words intended to give the impression the writer is a faux intellectual.

My lord "The new UncleB"... You do not have a strong argument. You give some great points of discussion such as why language is used, and then I look back at your last post and it was so confusing I had to read it like three times.

Disclaimer: I didn't read a word of this thread.Yes, it's bullsh!t that they discriminate this way. The comment given by the OSU guy is BS.

"We are also interested in such things as the strength of the applicant's high school, rigor of their curriculum, the strength of their essay and their work experience

Yeah, I'm sure black students are 10 times more likely to have a more rigorous curriculum and have a stronger essay, but I would believe they have more work experience.

The reason this pisses me off isn't because I'm just discovering that universities discriminate to meet a certain race quota, it's because if these schools DIDN'T discriminate on the basis of race, everyone would being crying racism. It would be the other way around. The universities are discriminating AGAINST blacks. F*ck off. It's horsesh!t, but that's the way our politically correct society is.

Also, why single out OSU and Miami University. You don't think EVERY single university in the country does this?

Who on earth would ever want to "Pretend to be shockingly stupid"?

Contractions ("language's", "one's") are the ugliest part of the English language. And "prime purpose"? Did you mean "primary purpose"? That whole sentence is a train wreck. I'm not the only one who is muddling their words...

So, in order to effectively communicate everyone should write and speak to the lowest common denominator?

That makes absolutely no sense. Ridiculous.

Wait, I'll translate the last two sentences into "effective" communication.

OMG! WTF r u talkin about? LMFAO!

Better?

ENOUGH about the English language. I know I'm not the best writer. Why the "racist' insult and what am I being "dishonest" about? I really want to know what I said that makes me a racist.

I think not knowing how to spell the past tense of "pay" was more a factor in your rejection.[/quote]

Hey? I were never tense back then

I find it amusing that school choice and similar variants are offered as the solution to the problems which plague urban school districts. Oh, don't get me wrong. Choice could help to some degree with two very significant problems in urban schools. First, poor but ambitious students often don't have a realistic setting to pursue learning because the applicable public school is so chaotic. Bluntly put, the student body is highly resistant to learning and it is very difficult for the earnest student to prosper. Choice obviously helps these students, as was the case in the District of Columbia. Second, it could help by fiat to get rid of the bottom 5% of truly poor performing teachers. But it would help only to a limited degree. Believe me, I am no fan of urban school systems - they are in many respects patronage mills. But the raw materials - the students, are really, really impaired.

The real problem in American education is with our demographics. We simply have far too many children being born into homes without an appreciation for education and human development. Many basic needs are not met, and adult males are as scarce as hens teeth. All of the resources in the world with not fix this problem. Fundamentally the behavior and culture must change.

The affirmative action debate in colleges and universities is just a tiny tip of the iceberg. The real problems are in our increasingly dismal demographics, and we are each decade becoming less and less prepared to compete in a global knowledge based economy, an economy that will roll on no matter what kind of policies or legislation we adopt.

Hey look at me, I'm a retard!

Letsrun posters are ever vigilant about making sure poor black people and poor immigrants are not getting over on white folks.

Yet seem quite happy to accept the privileged position of the uber rich in our society -- including favorable admissions policies for the dumbass offspring of the uber rich.

You'd almost have to conclude that these posters are naive suckers, easily manipulated bu the rich via appeals to their racism.

You are a letsrun poster, so I guess we have to call you a racist, too.

Moron!

She may have SAID yours was the first she went down on, but I know better my man. Trust me!

Years ago I dated a chick that went to Miami. She lived in Emerson Hall. Hot times man. I'd get into Oxford late on a Friday and we'd f*** all weekend until I left on Sunday afternoon. Mine was the first dick she ever sucked and wow did she enjoy learning on it! Still some of the best head I ever had.

She started getting fat though and that was a snobbish place so I quit dating her. Then Miami gave into pressure and changed their name from the Redskins to the queer sounding Redhawks. I said, "f*** this, I'm done." I haven't been back since.

If you didnt complain when whites were getting preferential treatment in jobs, education, houses,justice system, etc., then dont complain now. SHUT THE FVCK UP!!

I dont mean to imply that racism against blacks does not occur anymore, because it does. White people have had an unfair advantage the VAST majority of the time this country has existed, so stop whinning you crybaby BITCHES! Your great grandfathers, grandfathers and fathers took advantage of white privledge in the US and everyone of you whinning pussies have benefited.

No it doesn't Nat. Not anymore. Not since Obama was elected. Don't you remember Chris Matthews raving on election night about how racism was dead in America? Quit living in the past.

Are you being sarcastic or do you really believe racism doesnt exist anymore?

Nat, please tell me that wasn't a serious response. You should get a refund on that sarcasm detector.
