Instead of calling for whites to give black people their seat, he should be encouraging his fellow people of color to go to school and earn their seat. This. i think what it really is is that people feel like people of colors are presented with barriers from earning their seats. whites, like everyone else, should work towards everyone having the opportunity to have seats too. unless you think underrepresented people aren't capable of earning their seats, then there must be a reason why they aren't represented as they should be, and people are suggesting that those reasons should be dealt with in meaningful ways. There is a reason - they literally don't make the choices in life necessary to get that power. White people ARE working to give minorities a seat, and it apparently isn't enough because not enough minorities have chosen to take the seat. Granted, nobody has ever said what 'enough' is. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:895171926] in Diversity ...
