???? I wasn't asking you.

My first post was "No"

You asked "No what?"

I answered "Affirmative Action; Do you agree with it."



Oh, sorry.....

A few people have said that AA is not just about colour.....ok maybe not but in the real world I think it is! why else was it bought into action?? it certainly wasnt bought in to help all the white people already going for and getting jobs was it?? IF there wasnt a problem and ALL races were given FAIR chances and OPPPORTUNITY it wouldnt exist! there is the answer!

As explained earlier in the thread- it is to help equal employment opportunties regardless of race. It is only used when the candidates are equal as the strongest candidate will get the position. However a white person can receive consideration if they are in the minority overall. That is not often the case. It also looks at gender inequalities.

That as maybe but imo race has been and still is an issue when it comes to employment and on the whole this law is for minority races as it is people of colour who mostly get discriminated against in the work place - sorry but thats what I see in the work sector!

We can't forget about those Native Americans either!!! The founders excluded them as well.....and that is exactly why I believe what I do!!! You can't say one thing then turn around and do the opposite!! It's NOT right nor is it moral!!!

That is true but, at least the government negotiated treaties (as worthless as they were)and granted sovereign nation status, but never compensated them for stolen land etc..

And it is our past history of govt. that created these prevalent race relations that stained our country to this very day!!! The govt. did the wrong...they alone should correct their wrongs!!!

Every government job has "minorities" sitting on their butts milking the clock for a paycheck and does not perform their jobs. This is what AA provides for you. I am not saying that all minorities are lazy, but usually those that get hired based on a quota.

So you are saying that all Minorities who have a job are just basically wasters who just wanna get paid?? they have no ambition? they have no skills? they have no goals?? I see lots of white people doing just the same thing so dont understand how u can come to the conclusion that only "minorities" do this - imo they have to work harder and prove themselves 100% more to get noticed and make a stance.

They have to work harder to prove themselves, but yet they have a lower standard they have to meet to get into a job, college, etc.... Sure. lol
