Affirmative action and equal opportunity are not what they seem. I have to hire a minority over a white person that has a better education than the minority. More minorities are given money for school etc with grants / assistance. Also, it seems like in California….well, it doesn’t matter as long as you walk in the door they will give you money. How come our government treats these people like they are handicapped and can’t earn things on their own? All it’s doing is creating a large group of people that can get money for nothing, and when it runs out….they will probably be the majority, and they’ll want more… I know that obviously not all minorities take the assistance etc…like me. Do you think it is *equal* or do you think that these government programs are handicapping the minorities and treating them as such? Are you a minority?
I’m sorry, no offense to handicapped people, but the government treats them like they have half a brain with no legs…..know w hat I mean?
a 400 year start? Black people have been around longer than white people…or at least that’s what history teaches….sounds like you’re the ones with the head start, you guys even started selling yourselves off to the Europeans before the United States was even a country. It was bad back then, I get it. So just because people are treated badly, we need to give them a hand out…well, where are all the funds for people against christians, muslims, or white people? It seems like the agenda is to demonize the current white population, most of which had nothing to do with slaves, or t he 60’s….unless they were like…10 years old.
