    I think the key words are "highly selective public high schools". Do you feel the same way about the draft of players, majority black, for the New York Giants?

    I do not think I make an error by stating you have a powerful anti Christian bias.

    Why for instance didn't you mention that our government made use of government buildings and held church services in the early era? And why do you ignore the GOD references in the SCOTUS? And our currency?

    Would you bet the farm that those players struggle to merely learn the play books of the pro teams?

    They spoke of some NY Schools barely allowing blacks to become students. We have a very high ranked high school that says they have 92 percent Asians and 6 percent whites and under 1 percent blacks. School has roughly 2,069 student body. The blacks may be native to Ethiopia.

    Easy. They think that Trump (and Republicans in general) will protect their rights and Democrats will erode them.

    I don't. World class colleges ought to have world class students. The society at large is dumb, uncouth and lazy.

    Just saying that people get their underpants in a teether over stupid stuff. I was taught that the cream of the crop rises to the top.
    PS: I quit the Democrat Party when I found out my parents were married.

    Yes they do, does this school make exceptions for athletes when it comes to the entrance exam?

    So you want black kids to have an advantage over other people?

    Do you feel they are unable to compete because of their background?

    Yes they do what?

    Why would you make "exceptions" on an exam for athletes do you think they are all stupid?

    Not if it's designed for a certain caliber of students, like G&T schools.

    How fast they can run and jump fences isn't important.

    World-class colleges turn away world-class students all the time. The difference between a 1580 SAT score and a 1550 is insignificant. There are enough smart kids to go around so that colleges can fashion their student body to be reflective of society.

    The exam schools in NYC
    To me that means you want colleges to admit a fair share of dumb, uncouth and lazy students.

    Well isn't that the same qualities we want when selecting our physicians? Or maybe we should ask if they can shoot hoops, doesn't that make a difference (per Superbad)?

    What does the students skin color have to do with it?

    And liberals, being the great thinkers they are, want the government to make their decisions for them?

    Of course. You want me deciding which drugs should move to human trials? That's what the FDA is for.

    There are stories around of Asians going to the US to give birth. Their children will become US citizens that way. They just pay their way to success. It's not as if some poor Chinese family is able to make that trip to the US to escape their government like that.

    Didn't you read the news about people cheating their way into schools through bribes / take exams with extra help etc?
