Do all the white folk in this thread have some sort of guilt of some sorts? I ask because maybe you haven't had the pleasure of being discriminated against because of affirmative action.

I've lost out jobs, grants, promtions because a black person or a hispanic needed to be filled in the role. Asians? Oh there plenty of them and they aren't discriminated against, they have opportunity...

I had to work harder than the black guy or the white woman in order to achieve my results. I have documents and evidence that show vice presidents getting bonuses for hiring the right races. WTF is that??? Really a quota is good? Or using it as a deciding factor? No it's not.
