Incredibly, business and industry didn't immediately start to hire the African American Harvard graduates in large numbers, but persisted in hiring mainly white people regardless of qualifications.
We should be able to see racism where it is, and we should reject it in every form.

So when would be a good time? Another 50 years? Maybe 100? At what point will it have enough headstart to keep moving on it's own? At some point, the kid has to stop sucking on Mama's tit. At some point, the kid has to start walking, crap in the John, etc, etc.
And you think there is NO basis for it? If you got in and AA was around, how do you KNOW that you weren't led in by the back door? As your potential employer, how do I KNOW you weren't qualified by some process in the dark of the night?
If you won a race with a handicap, did you really win that race? If there is a possibility of a handicap, how would an employer KNOW that person was truly qualified? Yes, I know you and Joe White graduated from College. I know Joe White had nothing to help him in. You, I am uncertain. How are you equally qualified?
I don't follow. If me giving money to only black people is ok, why is it not ok to give to only white people? What is the difference in PRINCIPLE?
