This whole affirmative action thing puzzles me. My final assignment in the Air Force was as commander of an engineering unit. I had about 100 engineers and technicians under me, and about 30% of them were Blacks. All of them, including the Blacks, were top-notch. I was proud of them, and proud to have been associated with them.

There are competent Blacks out there. I know, because I had some working for me. Just where does the government keep finding these affirmative-action dull tools? Why do they keep overlooking the really good ones?

Excellent question that I don’t begin to have an answer to but it does seem that a lot of them find political jobs.
