why is it ignorant?

why not make it by meritocracy? The best of the best are the ones that get ahead. What is wrong with that?

When I work hard for something and am considered to be the best, and lose to someone because of race, how should I feel about that? How should one feel about bettering themselves when someone is handed a pass because of race? I say that is racism, but others say it is affirmative action.

Because instituational racism precludes people because they were born black, were born in the inner city/poor part of town? And that gets them a "go to the front of the line card?" Poverty exists in all countries. There are dichotomies of rich and poor, there is not a single country where everyone is equal in economic stature.

When people tell me that a poor person from a bad part of town cannot make it, and I see legal and illegal immigrants come here with nothing but their shirt on their backs and somehow achieve, I can't seem to understand how the liberal mindset works.
