Having said that, since 95% of our fortune 500 CEO's and top level execs are white, how else would you ensure fair practices that a minority gets an equal chance at a position? Again... Show me an example where a minority had preferential treatment over someone else while being under qualified for a position. ~No matter how ignorant it is. |

I don't know about AA, but those dudes in the thread starter are pretty freakin' stupid. I would love to have seen their faces when someone explained what is a black hole.

I think the more the older generation leaves the work place, the more chances there will be for advancement for people of different ethnicities and gender. My parents, who are in there 70's, are very old school in that regard. People, regardless of background, have to realize that it takes hard work to be successful and there aren't any real short cuts to get there.

We have to work double hard at almost everything from speech to grades to appearance to even working twice as hard to prove we're just as responsible or competent as our white counterparts. Why? Because we're stereotyped as being dumb, low lives that are incapable of intellect or intelligence. So until you can devise a system that fairly levels the playing field AA is justifiable. But then again... if the system was fair then we wouldn't need AA. I agree that it'll eventually go away with the elderly but in the meantime AA is paving the way to make it to where future bosses will no longer consider skin color in hiring practices just like we should've overlooked the fact that Hillary was a FEMALE presidential candidate (which is the way it should be). |

You're absolutely right that the basis of this country is working hard to succeed. But when people actively block minorities' rights to equal and fair employment, there's a problem. Doing that is contrary to the principles of this country. It's why we needed Griggs vs. Duke Power Company to regulate hiring practices. It's why we needed Gratz vs. Bollinger and Grutter vs. Bollinger to define what is appropriate use of AA and what is not. |

But if a person of a different background isn't given the job on basis of qualifications, it shouldn't be labeled as racist. If it truly was, then it should be dealt with swiftly and strongly.

Do the other 95% of non-whites desire to be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies?
