Actually, they generally give them the same test, then “race norm” the results. IOW, the curve is calculated separately for each racial group. Blacks who score 90 on the “black curve” are treated equally to white who score 90 on the “white curve,” even though 90 on the black curve is only 60 on the white curve. Or whatever the results.

Okay, then that's what Florida should do. And companies who are forced to fill quotas can continue to fill up their "Human Resources" departments with the most literate blacks they can find.

Who in God’s name would want to subject himself to a black doctor or surgeon, knowing that that doctor or surgeon may have been coddled through school thanks to “affirmative action”? Who could trust any black professional for that matter? But mostly, how can brilliant black professionals who worked their asses off and earned (and deserve) everything they attained just sit back and allow their own accomplishments and credibility to be tainted by “affirmative action” policies? But you know what? For the most part, the silence of smart, educated blacks is deafening. And they still (mostly) vote Democrat. So... screw them.

Man, if I was black I think I would scream to the heavens to dump “affirmative action” in the ocean somewhere. What an insulting slap in the face “affirmative action” is to those smart, hard-working blacks who deserve respect.

Recall in the 1990s, the Clintoon administration tried to hobble black people in America by establishing “ebonics” as a valid “dialect” of English.

It is a deliberate dumbing down of a segment of society to intentionally hold them back and make them dependent on set asides, quotas, and handouts.
