To the "guest" who posted this idiotic statement….
"The difference between this program and Affirmative Action is that little phrase; "Paid Their Dues" Jeep"

ever hear about slavery, jeep?"

I have this to say, Affirmative Action is NOT restitution for slavery. The descendants of slaves are not suffering from the ramifications of slavery. In fact, those who are descendants are fortunate that they are here and not in Africa starving to death. Also, there are a lot of people who are covered by the Affirmative Action that are not descendants of slaves. Women, Hispanics, Asians, and even the handicapped. And NOT ALL black people are here as a result of slavery; some have just recently come over to this country. And not all slaves were mistreated. Get a clue!

Also, I was passed over on a promotion that I was more than qualified for, for to a minority to be promoted who was NOT qualified. I was constantly being asked to help him to with his duties yet I received no compensation while he got a fat raise. This was not fair, so I eventually quit. He later got fired because he never measured up to the task. He found it hard to find a job because he then received negative references from the company stating he was sub-standard. When he did finally find a new job it paid way less than the position he was promoted from, so for him, IMHO, I would have to guess that Affirmative Action hurt him. Best to all. Susu
