When you illegally exclude people from consideration because of their personal political and spiritual and economic beliefs.
Monica could you please explain your employment practices.

Yes, we have affirmative reaction. We exclude everyone who will not agree with us on every decision. We want some one who will not question bad judgement and illegal activities. This is a very open policy, many of these people are highly unqualified, and who would not normally be hired.

Affirmative reaction is when the person responsible for hiring employees crosses the line and illegally excludes qualified people from consideration because of their personal, political, spiritual, and/or economic beliefs.

A life-line for racists who don't approve of societal integration, especially in what has historically remained white-people sports in recent decades (i.e. hockey, gymnastics).
"Affirmative action is why the (insert ice hockey team name) has a black player."
"Did he make the team over a more qualified white player?"
"Uh...uh... not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case."

The term "affirmative action" comes from legislation like the Equal Opportunity Act which basically says that minorities (including the disabled and war vets) cannot be discriminated against for employment or enrollment in college.

That's it.
If you're complaining about getting rejected by an Ivy League school (and supposedly a black person, who you are quick to believe or imply is therefore under-qualified, got accepted instead), and not for the reason we mortals can't even dream of going to an Ivy League if we wanted to: the money; you're only proving why we need affirmative action.

If you believe the Ivy League is the epitome of higher education and not getting to attend such a school is equivalent to being denied the right to education, you're part of the problem.

If you have the time and resources to post these anti-minority rants on teh internetz, your argument holds little weight just by that fact.

White people: black people are not your problem.

(ps this is coming from a white guy who didn't even finish the writing portion of the SAT and received a substantial scholarship from his university after getting accepted there)

A derogatory term for a government program that attempts to counter racism by the majority against minorities (specifically african-americans in this case).

Not a perfect plan, and somewhat misguided in that it brings even more attention to skin color in many instances. But until all people lose their ignorance and stop being concerned with skin color at all, helps gets us closer to where we should be.
I'm a white conservative, and I support Affirmative Blaction.

affirmative action (U.S.), action taken to affirm an established policy; spec. positive action by employers to ensure that minority groups are not discriminated against during recruitment or employment - taken from oxford english dictionary
Affirmative Action is good. White ppl claims that it somehow makes life harder for them is totally wrong and is bull shit.

all the statistics prove that the affect it has on white ppl not gettin jobs, college is not significant at all. very small.

it only gets attention because of the reason that it is rare and when it happens white ppl go up in arms n shit.

o yea im asian and yes affirmative action doesnt really do much for us either and yet i dont care.

Kamala Harris is an Affirmative Action VP! She was the most hated candidate of any politicians running & did not get a single delegate, dropping out before the debate in her home state of California to save the embarrassment! Joe Biden ended up winning the democrat nomination and because Donald Trump is an unbeatable candidate, the deep state & Obama’s Shadow government needed a way to make it appear as if Joe Biden isn’t racist due to all his racial slurs like “I don’t want my kids going to school in a racial jungle” when talking about desegregation of schools & giving the eulogy for a former KKK chapter leader & calling him a great friend and mentor (Robert Byrd in 2010) , So to to change the narrative that Basement Joe isn’t a racist corrupt pedophile, they needed to choose a black female as his running mate! So Kamala Harris won that role! So being that she was selected simply because she is black & not a single person voted for her, she is the first Affirmative Action Vice President! She did not earn her spot with votes but rather Affirmative Action because she was added at the last min to keep doing nothing to earn the black vote! Because as Joe said “You ain’t black if you vote for Trump”
Hey did you see that new Affirmative Action Harris memorial in DC they put up!

Yes, they call it a glass breaker being that she is the first Black Vice President. But I am not sure why they did affirmative action for her, because he parents owned slaves! Our government is seriously fucked!
