who else is finding this slightly offensive or just plain old?

....and now back to our previously scheduled programming...

....an African American, applying for employment as a data entry clerk, is speaking with the general manager (a complete RACIST!!)

Employer: I really don't want you to work here you f/ckin (insert racial slur)
Applicant: Oh, well Affirmative Action says you have to fire me
Employer: I know, but I'm going to make your life a living hell. I have to hire you, not promote you, and not give you any room for personal advancement!! Ha Ha F/CKER!
Applicant: That'll be fine. At least I have a job.
Employer: I'm going to make sure you do nothing putting on a resume your entire time here, and that you get paid at the lowest level possible.
Applicant: Thank you sir!
Employer: Oh, and you can forget about a recommendation.

Do you want to work in this environment? Didn't think so.

Yah...Affirmative Action was AWESOME!

It will not be voiced like that at all.

When I go into an interview, I know my shyt. I know that every requirement on that paper is in my knowledge bank. I prove to an employer that I can do that shyt better than anybody (pick a color or race, I will own your ass, lol).

Seriously, I have worked in office enviroments where I am the "token black guy". This time I have to other black people that I know are in the office, but we are in completely different departments. One is the VP of Enginering Design, the other is a HR manager. I am pretty sure they didnt get their jobs off AA.

When you know your stuff, it shows and people will hire you to do a job.

Hell, my job powers our national distribution cost saving initiative pretty sure an AA candidate wouldnt get that job, lol.

Your point just proved the fact that Affirmative Action is beyond its usefulness.

I was never completely defending it. In its current form, it is only needed at certain levels of employment, not all.
