Why is it that blacks make up only some 13% of the US population, but some 17% of government employees?
Originally affirmative action jobs were supposed to last until the blacks who were going to segregated schools came into the integrated school system and caught up intellectually with whites.
Instead we have seen the lowered standards of these schools.
We have seen lowered standards for hiring.
We have not seen blacks come up to the standard of the white student we see the standards of white student going down. We have poured money into this problem with no improving results.
Meanwhile white kids cannot wear a baseball cap correctly nor keep their pants up where they belong. and the MF word has become viral with male and female students.
Affirmative action will always be needed to keep blacks into any kind of equal footing with white hires.They know it and we know it. A few blacks have realized this and complain that a stigma of black inferiority goes along with affirmative action,and they are correct.Unfortunately nothing can be done about it until the average black family stops blaming everything on whitey and learns that education and a work ethic is the only thing that can bring them on board without affirmative action.Blacks are not lacking in intelligence, only in attitude.Equalty is there for any who will accept that hard work is the way to it.
Diversity = lower standards
But it make some folks FEEL good.
I can shoot a basketball. Kobe can shoot a basketball. Since we’re both qualified, he must have gotten the job by discriminatory hiring practices.
