Cuz ****once a company meets its "quota" they dont have to really hire any more. Cuz these days gettin a job really isnt about what you know... its about who you know

The thing about it is even though the nation has come a long way since the policy was put into pace, there is still a ways to go. On the other hand it could be said that Affirmative Action whic is trying to stray people away from racially motivaated decisions is actually promoting these kinds of decisions. Affirmative Action leads to quotas, which is just as bad as being racists. It's hard to support the policy when people use it in the wrong way. I don't want people to say that, we have two candidates that are equally qualified, but we are going to give this job to her because shes black and it will look better for the company. That's why it is kind of hard for me to say which side I would choose.

We were doing fine and had our own communities, colleges, and businesses before A.A. On the other hand, we need a system of checks and balances to ensure that WHEN qualified, we don't get overlooked because of our race or gender. Perhaps the current A.A. policy needs to be updated and revised.H-TOWN_NSU_CHICK wrote:I am kind of confused on the whole Affirmative Action thing.
