Affirmative action has been devastating for any minority it was supposed to help.
For a long time every minority was under a cloud of whether or not the person deserved the medical degree or law degree, business degree, etc. It’s not pretty to question a persons real qualifications based on skin color or gender.
Even Obama and his wife have that stigma, IMHO.
For all the adulation blacks give MLK Jr, are they really aware of the actual words of his ‘I have a dream’ speech? (judging on content of character, not on color of skin)
