Simply put Affirmative Action does not exist, so stop blaming it for your problems. The government cannot legislate the personal feelings of Americans no matter how hard it tries. If Americans don’t accept the idea of hiring someone simply because they are black or a woman they simply won’t. I am surprised that more Americans do not know that the laws concerning affirmative action have been repealed since the early or mid-1990s because they were deemed unconstitutional and will again be coming up for question sometime this year. The reason you may see a large hike in the number of African Americans in the corporate world is due to a boom in the African American economy which has enabled more African Americans to become college educated. My father owns a company and has always made it clear to me that A college-educated Black person is more qualified than a white one and has made a point to hire them because he sees them as harder working due to the fact that they have had to overcome so many obstacles in order to succeed. Simply put White employees feel entitled to their positions, while Black employees work harder. I have seen it everyday.
