Affirmative Action for admission. Affirmative Action for grading. What next, an Affirmative Action President? Oh, wait...
They are doing blacks no favors by letting them into colleges with first-grade English skills (and maybe second- or third-grade skills in other subjects). We are at a point where a “minority C” should be as much a part of our lexicon as a “gentleman’s C”. Anyone who has supervised staff quickly realizes that resumes of “preferred minorities” are generally meaningless; a simple paragraph in employee screening generally gives an idea as to where the applicant stands on the work material as well as basic English.
When I was in a state school years ago many affirmative action students left during their first semester; they saw through the BS and realized they lacked a basic foundation for higher education. It was very depressing, and I genuinely sympathize with them - they’d been lied to for years, and felt real inferiority when they saw how far behind the non-black students they really were.
Don’t underestimate the rage that can cause.
Also, affirmative action in employment and affirmative action in the award of public contracts. While "white privilege" is the chant de jour among the liberal extremists, seems to me that black privilege is a bigger issue.
