Just The News-
Football legend Herschel Walker says colleges and businesses should stop asking individuals to disclose their race on applications, adding that it could lead to some changes in the area of race relations in the U.S.
“The best thing somebody can do, let’s remove, when you’re filling out an employee card, let’s remove that race thing, whether you’re black or white,” Walker said during a virtual discussion organized by Delaware’s Wilmington Public Library. “Let’s remove all this about black, white, green; that can only be for the census. But when you’re filling out a job application, when you’re filling out going to college, when you’re filling out whatever, let’s remove all about the race so you go in with the same thing as everyone else …
“And then when you get in there, you may be a Martian, but if you’re qualified, then you get that job. I say that may make some changes. Let’s be responsible for what we’re doing.”
Walker, a potential candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2022, also said he would oppose a bill in Congress that would set up a federal commission to study providing reparations to African-Americans for slavery. read more
HA! That’ll never happen…. RacePimp Inc. will not allow it.
It’s like sex/gender. It can be whatever you want.
How can race not be a factor in admissions if they don’t ask for race?
I have noticed that even when race is not part of the actual application itself, the sheet asking about race does happen to require your name anyway.
My university did not ask for race. They skirted the issue saying they needed a picture of you for their files.
Good idea, but when your name is Shawnequa Jefferson, they will know.
The pursuit of racial division has already been fully implemented.
Never. I read an article 25 or more years ago about a symphony (I think it was LA but I couldnt swear to it) that thought recruiters for the symphony were biased when they auditioned musicians and picked the white musicians over minorities because of their bias. So they said, “Hey, let’s put the auditioning musician behind a curtain so the recruiter could only HEAR the music being played and not see the skin color.” It backfired. The recruiters STILL picked the musicians who were white over their minority counterparts. So sadly, the ace for most minorities applying for college is their skin pigment.
If possible, I always check the “prefer not to answer” for questions of race or sex, only because I hope it pisses someone off. Does that make me a bad person?
Herschel seems to be making news these days. Walker for Senator 2022?

stop2think: I read that about the Detroit Symphony back in the ‘90’s (Reader’s Digest?). The judges had no idea who was playing. The judges were behind a curtain and the musicians were only know by a number. The musicians were instructed not to say anything. That resulted in mostly white musicians being selected, so a court ordered them to be discriminatory (against whites) so that they would not be “discriminatory” (against blacks).
They have a funny definition of “non-discriminatory.”
