oohhh...
Ok... we have these things here in brasil..
Im im totaly against it because anybody (any kind of color skin people here can say they are black) iven white people, and if u mad your secondary school on public school, both have advantages on the tests to enter the university. So someone who made a better test (exam) will loose their place for someone who made a worst exam, just because the state sucks on giving everybody the same good education, to someone who declared himself black or studied on a public school..
On this case Afirmation action sucks bad...
The state has the obligation to give same good education with equal rights.. not doing this shame modification...

Look I'm all for working for what ya get.Rich or poor black or white,Indian, asian no matter,everyone should have the same start.If your parents were rich then congrats to ya,just cause your poor doesn't mean you should get a handout,so neither should the color of your skin.look we"me and my grandmother and two cousins" had squat when I was a kid,no one gave us crap nor did we ask for it.All of us worked hard just to get by.Now I am all in favor of kids getting scholarships if they bang the books and get good grades they earned it.However giving someone a job because of there race is crap.THATS just my opion,and I am entitled to it!!!!

i agree lilred, and liberal democrats who side with minorities try to make us feel bad because were "the majority and have everything given to us like good schooling, and scholarships" we dont have them just handfed to us, we work for them, just as hard as a minority would...

another issue i want to bring up, is living in the NYC metro area right now, i read alot of news on the commute to work on the train. And every week, the NAACP is bringing up some whiney protest about how black men are targets for police activity and how there are more black men in prison than any other race. And how the statistics are skewed and erroneous, and black men are set up. STATISTICS are STATISTICS! they are in prison for a reason, they did something wrong! Not to mention almost ALL of the cops in nyc i see walking to work ARE black/hispanic!!!(and i'm very grateful to see a man in blue at every corner as i walk) I have a legitimate theory about all of this as well and hear me out...

I have listened to hip hop/rap music, as well as seen alot of the hip hop culture in the press as well as movies and what images they project. I've seen this since the time i was 8, living in an urban area 45 mins outside of philly, pa...and i can say one thing about all of that...
YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES.
if you see violence and drugs growing up and you have NWA(btw love their stuff) blasting in your ear, some people take it to heart and believe in this stuff. So they grow up to be gangbangers or drug dealers...well NO SH!T

anyways im gonna stop without sounding like a racist bc that not at all my intentions...i love people of all colors, im a lover not a fighter, i just hate people who are overzelous about their ethnic pride, and this particular article on by the NAACP really set me off. JUST SHUT UP AND WORK FOR A LIVING AND PAY TAXES LIKE THE REST OF US!!!

I have not purchased any tickets.
I am not interested in our 6th gaming device in our house, not counting our 2 computers.

To get back to subject, I should win just buying 1 ticket because I have never won any drawing at NDN.
