There are many individuals out there who tend to attribute any success by a black person to affirmative action.

Precisely my point.

And if there weren’t affirmative action, we could attribute the success of a black person to what?

It’s because it is often true. I work as a government contract. We just lost our contract, not because we were under bid, or because the winner was better qualified to provide the service. They got it because they are a minority owned company. And by the way, they can’t provide the service and are subbing the contact back to us. All the government did was add an additional layer of bureaucracy that the tax payer is paying for! All in the name of affirmative action.... It’s alive and well and you are paying for it with your taxdollars..
