ribit sez ~ "...a younger female who could have been mistaken for Stacy once told me, "Affirmative action isn't about achieving equality. It's about getting even!". Walked out of that meeting I did."
And THAT is EGGZACKLY how they really see it - no ifs, ands, or buts - which is why "Affirmative Action" is a pathetic joke. Problem for the enslaved denizens of Democrat Plantations is that this wrong-headed, libtard program actually harms them in the long-run ... but they're too indoctrinated, willfully stupid to see it. Persevere on your own ... maybe with a little help from others ... but, primarily through your own hard work and determination ... and you are MUCH better off for it. Not that I am a fan, but this quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is apropos ~ "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
