affirmitive action is bullshit
how can you cure racism WITH reverse racism PERFECT EXAMPLE: I am a firefighter. Say we're bringing new people on. 2 people apply for a spot on MY crew. A white and a minority. The white scores HIGHER on all tests, yet the minority is hired b/c of AA so now I have a guy on MY line, who I have to trust with my LIFE, backing me up in a burning house, who i KNOW is LESS qualified then someone else, but got the job b/c of the color of their skin ^^^ PLEASE explain how that is fair |
