喇叭花：谈谈老钱的“傲慢”与“偏见”(2)

O8 能当上哈佛的law-review 说明他 是个极为优秀的。

Please read this.  He got in because of affirmative action which means he took one of the opportunity from a qualified Asian/white candidate.

...
Obama was sufficiently self-deluding – some would say narcissistic – that he felt little of that anxiety. Later in his book, Remnick lets slip into the record a revealing letter Obama had written while president of the Harvard Law Review.

Remnick attempts here to illustrate Obama’s maturity on matters racial. In the process, however, he suggests one explanation for how Obama got into Harvard and how he became an editor of the Harvard Law Review (HLR). Wrote Obama to the Harvard Law Record:

I must say, however, that as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action policy when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not felt stigmatized within the broader law school community or as a staff member of the Review.

Remnick refuses to concede Obama’s need for affirmative action, let alone any stigma attached to it. He boasts that this “inner sanctum of the establishment” accepted only the “brightest and most ambitious” first-year students and offers as explanation, “Obama’s grades were good

As he does on many occasions, Remnick chooses not to share with the reader a larger truth. The fact is that Obama did not make the Law Review the old-fashioned way, the way HLR’s first black editor, Charles Houston, did 70 years prior.

To Obama’s good fortune, the HLR had replaced a meritocracy in which editors were elected based on grades – the president being the student with the highest academic rank – with one in which half the editors were chosen through a writing competition.

This competition, the New York Times reported in 1990, was “meant to help insure that minority students became editors of the Law Review

The election for president of the Harvard Law Review was based more on popularity than competence. Obama prevailed over 18 other candidates only after the HLR’s small conservative faction threw him its support.

Once elected, Obama contributed not one signed word to the HLR or any other law journal. As Matthew Franck has pointed out in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.

...

Both Obamas got into Ivys on the back of our Asian kids!


Michelle Obama should really thankful to this great country since if she is one of our children, she will never get into the Princeton sincer her SAT score is 300 points below the class median.  Here is a quote from an article:

"Michelle Obama’s experience shows just how wonderfully accessible Harvard Law School could be. “Told by counselors that her SAT scores and her grades weren’t good enough for an Ivy League school,” writes biographer Christopher Andersen, “Michelle applied to Princeton and Harvard anyway.”

Sympathetic biographer Liza Mundy writes, “Michelle frequently deplores the modern reliance on test scores, describing herself as a person who did not test well.” She did not write well, either. Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis at Princeton as “dense and turgid.”

The less charitable Christopher Hitchens observes, “To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language

Obama also got into Columbia and Harvard by his skin color.  The first couple's college success is build on some of our Asian/white kids missed opportunities.

Here is an article about AA on WSJ.  A very intriguing article from two authors who were "uncritical supporter"

国内两位网管的标准是什么？ 难道也和老钱一样，逢中必反，为了反中哪怕置自己的利益不顾都要选好战分子当美国总统？如果真是这样，我看亚特兰大华人可以告别 168 重新搞代表华人心声的网站啦。这年头网站到底有多大难度，这么多搞 IT 的专业人士还不清楚？ 也希望老郭以大局为重，不要因为照顾与某个人的关系而让众华人们失望。

喇叭花的文章很好，继续写。大家翘首盼望您的新作。

老郭在国内有两位网管，她们谁也不认识，要是觉得有恶意攻击就直接删了。
一般老郭不需要干预，要干预也要看谁的贡献大就护着谁。
楼主的文笔不错，就事论事才好。
各版主在自己的菜园也有管理权，管不好自然没人来。
周末多到户外走走吧，祝愉快。

回34 楼维奇：“老郭在国内有两位网管，她们谁也不认识，要是觉得有恶意攻击就直接删了。” 但老郭的网管是亚城回国的。请不要忽悠。

你以为老郭是什么人，私人菜园看园子的？ 老郭是俺的朋友，俺知道老郭的为人。老郭不是小孩子，孰是孰非，孰轻孰重，心里清楚的很，不是老钱之流可以随便糊弄收买的。为了照顾老钱这种糊涂虫而删别人的帖子让江湖人耻笑，不是老郭的一贯风格。

从我个人的经历和401k退休金帐户的变化，我同意搂主的看法：‘1.股市已有明显的回升.2.很多地区房价有所上涨（包括atlanta)3.法拍屋数量明显减少.4.失业率首次回落到8以下。。。’

关于删帖，请大家不要激动也别发火。先想清楚ATLANTA168是谁的再说。

按我个人理解ATLANTA168是老郭的私有财产（老郭还没上市吧？）。 也就是说是老郭提供了自己的私有财产来供大家交流，聊天，娱乐。 既然ATLANTA168是个私人庄园，任何来这里玩耍的是否应该遵守老郭家的规矩而不是你自己的行事方式？对违反了庄园规矩的，老郭是不是有权力根据自己的判断和其他客人的投诉，把违规者给踢出去。
.......

只要不是转轮子的就好。

你们最好早点告别168，越早越好。我们在这里更清静。看看你们有多大本事来建个新网站，也看看有多少亚城华人跟着去让你们代表。不遵守网站规则，居然还来威胁站长。是可忍孰不可忍？

老郭别担心。 天要下雨娘要嫁人，尽管让他们去好了。如果真有志气就别再来168。

老郭，刘医师何罪之有？她在13楼的帖为何被“禁言” ？以下是刘医师在13楼的帖。
Liu-Q:   网友说你把“喇叭花”的文章给删了?  咋会事？
Guo-A:  那是老钱要求删的，他说是个人攻击。
Liu：那篇文写的很好呀，我不认为是个人攻击！特别那文Point Out  私有制问题，是关键。
Guo：是呀，我也很喜欢。我没删，只是隐起来了。

支持46楼！

有人说围棋在168发的关于王立军的文，也在大妓院报上了。不过换了个名。
