So tell me again why you say JEB is FOR affirmative action??? Try not to phrase your answer as a question.


"First of all, there is still a need to end preferences in Florida because, regretfully, Governor Jeb Bush’s One Florida Initiative is woefully inadequate as it leaves, untouched, state law and local policies that give preferences on the basis of race and gender. Preferences and other forms of race-conscious policies simply have been restructured under ‘One Florida.’"

September 4, 2001: Two years after abolishing affirmative action programs for minority-owned companies, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said on Tuesday they are now getting an unprecedented share of state spending. Flanked by charts and minority business owners, Bush said data from his budget office showed that jettisoning set aside programs and quotas have not, as critics had predicted, undermined minority business competing for the nearly $15 billion in goods and services purchased every year by the state.
