Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Buck

    Going by your estimation those blacks that are complaining about affirmative-action also benefitted from affirmative-action so I would call them hypocrites. If those blacks went to school then the only reason they got there under your example is because some white who scored 20 points more then them got bumped. Right?

    You are funny Buck> LOL YOu think blacks are less qualified until they agree with you.

    Again you only talk about blacks receiving affirmative-action. As Libertyson said, the people who benefit the most from affirmative-action are white women.

    Most of the set-aside programs go to minority companies owned by white women. In fact if you have a wife or daughter go tell them to give back the scholorship money and the job because most likely under your thinking some white male was bumped out.
