Well it's gotta be either because people like free stuff or because socialism has worked everywhere else it has been tried!
Yes, because White people do better (and Asians do even better) at everything that colleges measure for admissions, not because the institutions are not prejudiced. Being Black is worth a hundred points of SAT scores or something.
So glad we have your genius to guide us on the nature vs nurture debate. There are these things called twin studies, and they have fairly conclusively proven that intelligence is highly heritable especially towards adulthood. 50% at least.

1) the policies he has proposed have been tried in other advanced industrial democracies (Germany, Sweden) and seem to work better than our market based approach. If you want to spin this into something about Soviet Russia -- frankly you don't know anything about democratic socialism and should stop getting your info about it from Rush Limbagh.
2) My point is that you would be better off, statistically, being white than getting 100 free SAT points. White people often see this the other way around and feel like victims of discrimination. You want to zero in on the one part where black people get a small bonus and ignore the entire downside leading up to that.
3)The fact that you bring this up is puzzling unless you are claiming that whites are biologically smarter than blacks. Which we have demonstrated not to be true.
