Here we were slaving away trying to fight our way up and these guys manually got a free pass.
Maybe I can sue someone? Will Reverend Jackson or Sharpton come to my aid? (What exactly are they reverends of, anyway???)
So like someone else said, if you are affirmative-action eligible, you can pretty much write your own ticket. You're really in the money if you are female and affirmative-action eligible. If you're a white male then pick a number and wait on it to turn up in the raffle.
HOPEFULLY in a couple of years, affirmative action will be illegal as it IS a racist, sexist, and unethical idea. As the mother of two white males, I object to it and think it is about the most unfair practice in our land. I know some will say that I may have benefited from it and I say: point made.
