   Yeah well, we’re getting a first hand look at what affirmative action produces, eh? Just look what’s in the WH.

   This 24% number keeps popping up; it’s like a quarter of the country is insane.

   This was my favourite part:

   “Fifty-five percent (55%)”

   Not the actual numbers, but the fact that they had to put it in brackets because they assumed the reader was so stupid they would not recognize the spelled out version.

   Barry and Michelle are products of AA, in more ways than one.

   I also favor higher graduation standards for high school and college. We are producing dummies.

   I have been sick of affirmative action crap since I was in high school. I recall taking the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying test in crappy crowded conditions – which was bad enough, but I was really pissed when I saw that whites had to score a damn high number while a black had to score something like an 85% (I don’t recall the exact number – but it was low). All I could think about was “merit”, what “merit”? I missed the cut by a couple of points, and I sure as hell could have used the money – since we didn’t have any – but thank GOD I was able to work my butt off each Summer and make almost enough for each school year outside of my loan.

   Not only do we have a fraud as a president, we have an affirmative action fraud.

   AA is not a good thing, never has been, never will be.

   American educational standards are pitiful compared to most European countries and there is a strange difference.
   American students graduate with an attitude that they know everything and are owed something.

   Add AA to that with an entitlement mentality and what kind of employee and citizen will you get? The government hires a large portion of them to show successful stats of AA and hide the failure of – just give them a chance for free and they will succeed .
   This system has bloated government employment with people that fill out grant papers,teach children,run HUD,SNAP,TANF,ACORN and can’t balance a checkbook.

   And AA takes placements from minorities that actually deserve help and a chance since it is based on quantity not quality .
