� � � � There is nothing in the world that is more
racist than "affirmative action" (which ain't too fucking
affirmative if you're the white Anglo-Saxon protestant male who
doesn't get the promotion, despite the fact that you're the most
qualified candidate).
� � � � Here's how it works: the institution/system
says, "Hey, colored boy/colored girl, we know that you can't make it on
your own - you can't compete with white people if the playing field is
level - you're not as competent as they are - so we'll give you a
little extra help."
� � � � Me, I'm just a country boy. I'll give my
employees the same opportunity ... ALL of them. I'll look at the
standardized test scores; the employee evaluations; and I won't look at
anything else (such as their race) when I have to make a decision about
whom to promote. That's what we call equality. I was under the
impression that THAT was what the minorities wanted.
