Thank you for your honesty. Most jobs that the middle earners enjoyed back in the day, were legacy jobs....his dad, and his dad's dad, etc. Its so bad at the Ford plants where I live, that off the street folk, could never get a job there...you had white generations there. Same things with city jobs, same things with law enforced jobs, same thing with just about every good job in the city...all going to sons, and uncles, and friend of a friend....all white, all legacy. The reason this OP is ticked off, AA is not his problem....employers today want cheap labor, they want it anyway they can find it and they could give a shit what color you are, as long as you don't cut into their profits and that's usually illegals or dumb inner city blacks or overseas..but make no mistakes, at the top of this pile of heap labor, lies a white person in charge or working.....the day whites are outnumbered in the food chain of America....Please, Wall Street will never allow that.
BULLSHIT!! Unqualified Blacks have been stealing jobs, financial aid, business loans, etc. since the 1960s, just like the 8 Blacks who got assistantships at my graduate school in 1977, when they were academically, the lowest members of the group of 25 students who applied. And whether it's at the top, in the middle, or near the bottom, undeserving Blacks are still stealing jobs , loans, and college seats away from non-Blacks. And not all the victims of this Affirmative Action racial discrimination are White. In my case, there were 3 Hispanics including me, and 3 Asians.
Although I am half-Hispanic (half German-Danish), and I could have taken advantage of Affirmative Action, in 50 years in the workplace, I never once filled out an Affirmative Action questionnaire. I wouldn't be caught dead taking advantage of racial discrimination, to push myself ahead. Those who do, ought to be ashamed of themselves.
