The company I fly for just hired two people, both are former US Army Pilots, one a black male the other a white female, both are incredibly intelligent and exceptional pilots.
The black male is a graduate of West Point and he is the most anti-political person I’ve ever met.
Refuses to get sucked int any debate on politics, isn’t registered to vote.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, working with and flying with many military pilots and he without a doubt one of the smartest one’s to date.
How does being anti-political make you a genius? Or being apolitical for that matter?
I’ll bet would be one of the last people who want test scores lowered to accommodate blacks. Adjusting test results to allow those who otherwise would not qualify for a position is bad for everyone involved, but it’s so typical of how liberals think. They honestly don’t understand why some things work and others don’t. They skip right over the process and jump to the assumption that anyone who gets into a position can do just as well as anyone else. Even if you manage to somehow circumvent the kind of testing that is valid and is indeed predictive how well someone knows a subject and get these “affirmative action” candidates into a job they often learn very quickly just getting the position is only half the job!
It is interesting you mentioned the military in the context of this story. Invariably, ‘affirmative action’ comes at the expense of veterans preference, essentially wiping out any real advantage to having served in the military.
