[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] It's amazing how upset people get about a program designed to attempt to right the inequalities of the past. It truly fascinates me to NO end. First of Two: it should also be noted that those people who came up with "all men equal" also had no problem not abolishing slavery right then and there. And, er, Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner, no? I think what they meant was [i]all white men[/i] are created equal, and we in more modern times have expanded that. Please, Omega, do you have studies to back up what you're saying? And I don't mean, "Hi, I'm Frank, and I'm against Affirmative Action because some nigger got my job and we all know he don't know right from left, so it's unfair." Look, I think you're under the mistaken impression that just because the Civil Rights Act passed, that all of a sudden minorities started being treated equally just sort of happened. It didn't! You think some CEO is going to start hiring black people just because some "damn libs" passed a law giving 'em equal rights? HELL no. So the Government went in, and said, "hey, buddy, listen up. This is whatcher gonna do, and yer gonna like it." Affirmative Action has, for the most part, done it's job. Minorities are in positions previously held only by white males! I have yet to hear anything bad about AA that's not personal influence: "Well, they passed me up for the promotion and gave it to some woman 'cuz they needed to fill their quota." Well, can you prove that? Or are you just trying to cover up for your own inadequecies on the job? Got any reliable studies on this, Omega? [/QB][/QUOTE]
