Prop 16 an act of economic violence against whites, Asians and men

BTW anyone who supports affirmative action is a bigot. There is NO excuse for supporting AA unless you want to unfairly benefit from it yourself.

That's today's Dem party - social-engineering on steroids and complete control over society so they can implement their leftist utopian believes and force them on EVERYONE.

I’ll be an gentleman about this. Many companies hire people they know or have similar backgrounds. If they didn’t use nepotism, Affirmative Action wouldn’t be needed. But they don’t. So I’m voting for it.

"We can't go back to the dark divisive days of hard affirmative action!"

Lmfao - you mean unlike the dark divisive days of now under the regressive rule of the republicans? Give me a fucking break.

Everyone knows white women and any minorities but black benefit from AA at least my experience in nova. But of course the board is infested with old fake news listening, big red hat wearing magatards and resident miami Cuban...

Dave Anderson is a troll and an agitator. Ignored.

People who are worthy, skilled and equal, don't nee a law making them equal. Lazy good for nothing failures always do. Do glad I have no more stake in the future of this country than I do the future of ther Malagasy Republic.

I got hired for a very competitive position back in the 80s by an employer that had an Affirmative Action plan. We had to pass a written SAT-like test as part of the hiring process. 2 guys who got hired, who were “whiter” than me, got an extra 15 points on the test because the were “Hispanic”. One’s great grandparents emigrated from Spain to the USA (way before my European ancestors did) and the other’s from Portugal. They were both of European ancestry and from solid middle class families. They both talked about it like it was a joke.

Icey Loco it doesn’t level out the playing field, because it only levels out the results. A qualified Asian or white male has no chance over a mediocre black person of color, or in many circumstances a woman of any color. They’re not sending their best or brightest, which is anti-American. AA goes against all that’s right.

And my employer had a lot of phonies trying to get a leg up by claiming to be “Native Americans” - with Anglo names and very fair complexions from well-off families. HR couldn’t/wouldn’t attempt to verify, they just wanted to check a box. I thought of it when Elizabeth Warren was exposed. Scum.

Wow Stud you work with Liz Warren, the whitest looking native american in history.

One of the truly shitty downsides to Affirmative Action beyond the obvious result of advancing the less qualified at the expense of the more qualified is beyond unfair.

That is the stigma that those minorities and women who are qualified and did advance themselves through hard work, brains and merit are too often assumed to have gotten to a place of being successful not based on merit but because of AA.

“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” MLK

I know - maybe I’m part Native American too - I get a little crazy when I drink...

I'm a liberal but voted no on this one.

In general I don't like propositions. Especially in cases like this where the actual lawmakers can make laws (as opposed to taxes where sometimes a prop is required)

I also don't think this particular prop is a good one. I'm not against what the prop is trying to do, but I think it's not quite the right approach. I hope the proponents can work with the legislature and figure out something better.
