Oh, I see how it is. Black people we're never discriminated against in democracy, because they always had 1 vote per person. It is just that white people got an extra 0.66 every time.
I know it is hyperbole. But college admissions are zero sum games. Giving points to one person, is the same as taking those away from another.
- rayiner 8y agoYou know black slaves couldn’t vote right.
- screye 8y agoThis is extremely embarrassing for me. (my only weak excuse being I am not American) I thought that there was a period in american history after the civil war where black people's vote counted for 3/5th of a white person. Turns out it was how electoral votes were decided, in which only slave owner voted before the civil war. Well, you learning something new every day. I am an idiot.
