Well, too bad you didn’t keep digging because you would have found that Mr. Cain answered those questions.
On affirmative action, he has made it clear he supports it only in terms of equal opportunities, but not quotas. He does not believe anyone should be hired on the basis of race, et., but on their qualifiactions for the job. He wrote this in his book, They Think You’re Stupid.
I read an article where he made that statement about supporting affirmative action only in terms of equal opportunities, but not quotas, but what does that mean, exactly? Does that mean he’s for minorities getting extra credit or extra exam points? I don’t accept that wishy-washy “explanation.” Either you’re for it or against it. This weaselly language he’s used makes it unclear whether he is or isn’t for discrimination under color of law.
