Re: Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?

Are you joking??? He's clearly saying that if you're a minority and are "good enough" to clear the much lower standards minorities are held up to for college admissions you're not gonna have any incentive to work harder than that and match the effort of top white or asian high school students. If someone told me that all I needed was an 1100 SAT and low 3s GPA to get into an Ivy I probably would have chucked my books and played video games.

he's not clearly saying that at all. what is clear is he pretty flippant about the disparity in SAT scores across race as if those in a lower socioeconomic bracket dont have real challenges in attaining those SAT scores.
why focus on the exception to the rule - the student that would score well above average if he blows off studying but score high enough to get into college? the rule is black scores are lower than white scores across the board.
im not sure why you are so steadfast in interpreting his statements. you staunchly defended him and told me how i should interpret another person's post. ive read enough of his posts in the past and think he can speak for himself.
