Whites didn't experience racial injustice over the years, affirmative action was put in place because of the injustice Blacks and women received throughout history. Come on now... Be real; don't start with the unrealistic hypothetics.
Thank You

well. DefJam is owned by a white company UNIVERSAL. and even within DefJam, i'm pretty sure there are whites running it, or atleast involved live Rick Rubin was (etc.)
Lets not forget Jimmy Iovine being the big dawg over Interscope who basically runs Aftermath and G Unit.....50 and Dre answer to Iovine, a white man who basically runs ALL THAT.
What does a white man running anything have to do with the employee diversity? Can someone tell me? If you are forcing a company to hire minorities, well then you should force a company to hire whites also. Isn't that essentially equality? Or do we have some other set standard of equality that I don't know of, or that is completely distorted? Did you know a white Jewish person, and a white Muslim are NOT covered by affirmative action? That's so fair! Affirmative Action needs to be reworked. It does more harm than good. What the f**k do you expect when you have the white populace saying "Hey, I don't benefit from affirmative action, that's racist!", and then the minority populace saying "Oh, well, you should have told that to your grandfathers!" Because essentially, that's what it is. How are you going to get beyond a race barrier when you exclude the majority? How DUMB of an idea is that? Thunder
Well i think everyone can aggree that the white man needs no help in getting professional jobs in america so how are we excluding everyone?? p.s. i think that there is a quota system that comes with A.A. for example a company will hire, lets say, 8% of his staff as blacks, while our population in america is 12% so its not like we are getting anywhere anyways so how dare whites (like you) complain when our work percentages dont even match the population represented in america yet (i could see if companies were hiring like 20% of their staff black, then i could SEE the Argument; but that is not the case) WE JUST WANT EQUAL REPRESENTATION!!
