and how were you discriminated against? while i agree classism exists (and i think that's probably as much as a problem as racism, and that the two intertwine), i wouldn't call not being able to join the local country club classism. if it's a private club and you can't afford it and they don't like you (reasons don't matter if it's a private club), then find a different club. but then again, i kinda agree with what marx said... 'i don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.'

Ooooh, I get it. White = Rich.
I see now... god forbid a white (which you immediately make him) rich boy be denied a job.

the problem is is that without these laws, people will be judged based on the color of thier skin instead of the content of their character. do you really think that a black kid from detroit is gonna be judged the same as a white kid from oakland county? no, they won't. they live within 20 miles of each other, but their lives are going to be completely different, might as well be different countries. if the only way to give the black kid the same opportunites in education is give them a boost when applying for college, that's fine with me. because when he gets an education and hopefully passes on the importance of that education to his kids, and so on, one day AA won't be necessary. but right now, taht isn't the case.

1. Yes, I belive that without AA
most people will be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. I personally believe AA makes things worse because anyone with half a brain can see that it is government sponsored racism.
2. Yes, they probably would be judged differently if they live in Oakland as opposed to Detroit. That's why preference should be given based on socio-economic reasons. You know, that way it IS a hand up to those who are born without much, and it's not based on skin color.
