I remember reading once his College average grade was C. Affirmative action indeed. My father was a NYC cop in the 60s and 70s and lost a promotion because of that bullcrap. He did excellent on the test, impeccable record, commendations, never called in sick and they told him to his face they were passing him over because of affirmative action, they were forced to promote blacks. It did the exact opposite of what is was intended for: namely judging people on race instead of character. JFK first started it in 1961 as a way to prevent discrimination then like all things Democraps are involved in, they perverted it and as we have seen with the election of Obama, to this day they still judge people by their race rather than character. Oh yes, and awarding blacks $98 million dollars when they yell racism......

Where's the $98 million for white corrections officers? Oh that's right, there aren't any.
Nor hospital workers, or the traffic dept which are 99% "minority". I was told to my face in 1986 after working at Flushing hospital as a "temp cleaner" for 2 years I could not get in the 1199 Hospital workers union because I was white. Where's my $98 million dollars?
Here is the offence I think. Most people here might think it’s unfair for veterans preference in gov jobs. I’m sorry, I like veterans preference. When I was honorably discharged, I thought for sure the navy yard would hire me but they were on the hiring minority thing like crazy at that point. Personally I was really hurt, but years later the yard shut down due gov cutbacks and I thought maybe it was a blessing I wasn’t hired.
Luckily, the local Municipality still wanted Veterans
Luckily for me, I was able to retire young live in a rural area still be frugal with hopefully a sustainable pension with no COLA.
Texas truly is a great state you need to come.
