BTW? POC didn't become "human" until 1964. That is when they could use the 14th Amd. But keep the straw man fallacies coming. Some of us are smart enough to see the tactic. Such as: "You might think it's unfair, But not everything that is unfair should be illegal." Which would explain the 70% white children of alumni--in a country built upon slavery....

Like a dog that caught its tail.... #Irony

And American History tells us; those children of alumni are 70% white Stop conflating two DIFFERENT points of fact. The "law" vs REALITY. AA was helping to combat the latter. Considering, who has benefitted from the former...

Well... One could start at the top (e.g. Harvard or other Ivy league schools) or start at the bottom (e.g. local state school)? The impact should trickle down? (to use a hated phrase lol)

@user-uskxnfiw729 100%! Bush Jr to Donald Trump proves your point. Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka proves it as well. 1 of 3 seem like they would have got in on merit...

oxyMORON: AA is about racism, and meant to help only black people yet, it was created to combat "legacy admissions" in America

More so, when that's one way their bread gets buttered...

@valueofnothing2487 Such as was happening? I mean, school segregation ended when your grandfather was born? Hence, why 70% of legacy admission at Harvard are white? You seem to be conflating reality with wishful thinking. Us Americans know better, because we are fully aware of American History....

Well... When POC became "human" in 1964? That explains why HBCU's began!

@memyself2630 You stole my thunder! LOL

@Hello-fo4ez To BORROW a quote: just leave the country dude. ohh wait u dont wanna go to ur home because its a dump... But thanks for the IGNORANT UNEDUCATED RACIST STUPIDITY? Then again, you better move your ass to Russia. I'm sure it'll pass your test with "flying colors."

@Orchyde "The OP is either saying HBCUs are a result of the Civil Rights Movement/Act or what exactly?" i.e. Are you being sarcastic or are you really that stupid? One question: Why WAS Howard, Grambling, Morehouse, Spellman, etc. CREATED? Have a great day, stupid...

@lakeviewbiker "Not in favor of legacy admissions but... it is not racially based at least?" Um, did you miss history class? 'Harvard' was created in 1636. How many "slaves" got in? Then, when poor white folks got in, it became two prong. The first black student, was 1847--you know, when SEGREGATION was a thing. Only 64 "POC" met "legacy admission" until the 70's. And today, those RACIST practices lead to 70% wealthy/poor legacy admission. But, as you were saying....

@lakeviewbiker "We are actually lowering standards for a select group who displace the future scientists etc...." Legacy Admissions in a nutshell? Because anyone of color, MUST have the grades, first. Then, their "complexion" plays a part. Before AA, see % of Legacy Admissions/future scientists etc....

@lakeviewbiker "Overall, I made it because I did not expect hand outs and earned my way and paid my loans back." Sell that bs to someone else. Everyone expects a handout. It's called, a discount! Take those anecdotal bs platitudes elsewhere. OR, you must be black? Brown? POC? Because as YOU stated; "Anyone with money will benefit. It usually works this way. Money talks ...." i.e. POC are the rules, you would be the exception...
