Reader Feedback from Tyrone Smith: Revoke A&M's Funding

Civil Rights does not mean equal opportunity, it means equal results. We do not even have equal opportunity in many situations (education, job income, etc.) and even if we did, IT WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH. It is time to take back from the white man what he has taken from us for so long. Affirmative action is a first step, but we must go further. We MUST require quotas for corporate America and educational institutions to ensure we get what we deserve and are entitled to. Texas A&M should be stripped of all state funds until it establishes an affirmative action policy, and if black students don’t exceed the percentage of the general populace within 4 years, funds should be revoked PERMANENTLY. First steps to freedom! [tsmith5001@yahoo.com 1/9/2004]
