signed by President
John F. Kennedy on 6 March 1961, which included a provision that
government contractors "take
affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."
[19] It was used to promote actions that achieve non-discrimination. In 1965, President
Lyndon B. Johnson issued
Executive Order 11246 which required government employers to take "affirmative action" to "hire without regard to race, religion and national origin". This prevented employers from discriminating against members of disadvantaged groups. In 1967, gender was added to the anti-discrimination list.

Affirmative action is intended to promote the opportunities of defined minority groups within a society to give them equal access to that of the majority population.
[21]
It is often instituted for government and educational settings to ensure that certain designated "
minority groups" within a society are able to participate in all provided opportunities including promotional, educational, and training opportunities.
[22]
The stated justification for affirmative action by its proponents is that it helps to compensate for past discrimination, persecution or
exploitation by the ruling class of a culture,
[23] and to address existing discrimination.

Us liberals came up with this stuff and it was conservatives who fought it. They said by helping a disadvantaged black you were hurt a poor white person who may or may not be more qualified for the job. Oh poooor white people. We got it tough.
