this kids butt is parked at the racist UC-Berkeley where he obviously did not belong

He is one of hundreds of thousands over the last 40 years who got special treatment.

I could relate a true story of a young lady (black) who had a BA degree in psychology. Our supervisor hired her (1979) as a technical writer. The poor girl could not even form a comprehensive sentence. She managed to muddle along for several weeks by getting help from others. Those 'others' had their own work to do and didn't have to do her work, too.

Several of us approached the head writer, who also had similar feelings. None previously wanted to say anything for fear of being called racists. But, the gig could not continue. The head writer went to the supervisor and he did dismiss the girl because she was in her probationary period.

I always wondered how she got through high school and got through college. The only thing I could conclude was Affirmative Action helped her along.
