If your assumption is that there's no such thing as racism in hiring, promotion, firing, etc then of course affirmative action would seem to be unfair. But the facts, whether it's employers throwing out resumes with black sounding names, real estate steering, or blacks running into very real barriers to promotion in the workforce or any other number of unpleasant current day realities indicate otherwise.


I never said that whites are always more qualified. I'm talking about the instances where a less qualified minority will be accepted into a college or hired by a company ahead of a more qualified white simply in order to meet some bogus affirmative action-inspired quota about "diversity." You can't defend that.

Also, I never said there isn't still racism today. But it's nowhere near the widespread institutionalized racism of decades ago. But liberals, as well as their minority followers, act like it is in order to milk the race card for all it's worth.
