Title says it all....why.

I mean I'll give you many yrs back you may have needed it..maybe...but now...plz.

Aff.action, why..This is just a job killer not creator.

Why should a company or Govt. agency have to hire a person who is NOT qualified,why ?

Why not take a test and who passes gets the job and who fails doesnt..pretty simple.

I worked many yrs for the City of N.Y. and witness this Aff. Action B.S. 1st hand.....I have seen people passed over for promotion many times because they were NOT the right color or backround.

All that comes out of Aff. Action is a less productive work force,plain and simple! I say this not because minorities are less qualified (because some liberal fool will say this is what I mean) but if you educated people instead of giving hand outs we would have a work force that would rival any in the world. Instead Aff. Action rewards the less educated and punishes the people who tried hard to get educated and move up in the work force.

I have also seen minorities who scored among the highest on tests but because there scores were HIGHER than other minorities were also passed over for there promotions..again it comes back to rewarding failure!

Aff. action is a sad joke.....and I can tell you this...Aff. Action just causes more racial tensions !

You're just to shy to come right out and say that you're the one who was passed over?

How do you see any difference between placing incompetent affirmative action employees and the standard cronyism and nepotism that has always pi$$ed me off?

If any system has to run stupid, I kind of like the effect of color added to the white pig crony system. Case in point, Bush's FEMA director.

Either way though, incompetence becomes the god. GWB established that!

Because it makes liberals seem like they are all for civil rights, when in actuality they just push it to get the minority vote.

It causes tensions when minorities who have "worked hard" have their hard work dismissed since they feel Affirminitave action is the only way they have become successful.
