Affirmative action turns lives into tragedies [Many liberals, including Ted Kennedy, the New York Times, and the Nation, praised affirmative action for letting this incompetent person become an incompetent, dangerous, and deadly doctor]

This is nothing...KILLER KING HOSPITAL murdered more blacks and hispanics than the KKK(including children)

Their last murder was an Hispanic woman named Edith Isabel Rodriguez....Her death finally shut killer king down...ALL OF THE BLACK DOCTORS,NURSES AND PHARMACISTS WERE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION....

He’s just a drop in the bucket compared to what’s coming.
They’ll do away with MCAT just as law schools are dropping the “racist” LSAT.

I guess this happens more in fields other than engineering. In my classes was one White American (me) and one Black American (a guy from the Mississippi delta). Everyone else was European or Asian.

We didn’t want foreigners to beat us Americans and studied a lot. We wound up with the best grades.

Ted Kennedy did more to destroy this country than any enemy, foreign or domestic.

The problem is infinitely worse than the article states. These liberals have no idea how much harm they have done to the public but also to the careers of competent minority physicians. Also many competent physicians have refused medical school faculty appointments or mentoring assignments because they know any good teaching that involves criticism of minorities or women is likely to hurt their careers.

My daughter was denied admission to Notre Dame with a 1310 SAT in 2002. She later met an African-American student who was wooed by UND with a 1200 SAT score. He knew nothing about the school but a black girl from HS who was going there passed along his info and…voilà…they flew him out to the campus for a special tour. Meanwhile my husband and I paid out of our own pockets for our daughter to make several visits there. Ironically, the black kid ended up turning down UND, lol.

In 1976 I was talking to a recruiter. He told me very bluntly that if I was a woman, black or better yet a black woman, he could get me interviews with any Fortune 500 company I desired. But as a white man he’d do the best he could, but not to expect many large companies showing much interest.

Over the course of my working life, I worked successfully for a number of smaller or local companies and did quite well, but I was never hired by a large American or international company.

Was in Med School in the 80’s.

White kid flunks a class, he, she is out of there.

Black kid gets 2 more tries.

One of my med school friends who was black said “I would never go to a black doctor cuz you never know if they made it through school using their brains or affirmative action.”

That was then. Now DOJ, FBI, DHS, FedGov, are totally the domestic enemy.

“These liberals have no idea how much harm they have done to the public . . .”.

Is it they don’t know or they don’t care. When you are not accountable for your actions, and you don’t bear the consequences of your actions, you don’t care.

My wife is from Mexico. She is now retired but was a software engineer with a very well-paying job. She graduated #1 in her class. She resented it when people would think she was hired because of her race. Affirmative action actually hurts the talented and skilled minorities.
