1)To start off, dont let people tell you your skin color will mess you up. We're in the jim Crow era if we start talking like that again.
2) I worked at WMU. Does everyone really understand that ONLY WMU had the Delta Program? It was because of DAL's loss of a law suit regarding their hiring practice. I only worked there, was not a part of the program.
3)If you believe in the American justice system, how can u respond to #2?
4) Do I believe affirmative action is fair? NO!
5) Why do we have affirmative action? Because of mistakes the previous generation made. I, u, and our peers have nothing to do with that, but we cant undue it today. We have to live with it.

How many times have you seen minority pilots? Prolly 2 times out of 10. Its a numbers game. Dont let anyone tell you any different. Most minorities dont know that they can fly or how to go about doin it. I know this because I go to the schools and talk with them. Im a member of OBAP and try to give back. Most that hate on OBAP dont give back to the next generation and have no idea what its like to suit up on a day off and go to a elem school.

Keep flying and dont let race stop you.
