You know this AA stuff is getting pretty old. Corporate America needs to take a look at the military. I am not saying that it is not flaw but the system is based on merit and not skin color. We also need to do something about the public schools because that is where the problems are. As long as I am air some dirty laundry the illiteracy and illegitimacy rates among black folks are outrageous. I am a black man and I am apalled at how our children shun education for hip-hop, sports and wearing their pants around their a$$. If they go to school and make A's and B's in Engineering or Math and Physics or other areas they would not need AA. Talent rises above mediocrity. Look at the late Ron McNair and Lt Col Anderson of NASA and the shuttles Challanger and Columbia. The Tuskeegee Airmen didn't need AA nor did the Buffalo Soldiers. Frederick Douglass or GW Carver didn't ask for special consideration because of the color of thier skin. Booker T Washington must me doing sumersaults in the grave. We are our souls black folk? I AM SICK OF IT.
