>>You misunderstood what John said. He said best man for the job, no matter the color. If ten black men can do the job better than ten white men, then ten black men should be doing the job.

>No I didn't misunderstood. You can't count who is good for a job. This is human, not a car. It's depend on %70 objective things and depend on %30 subjective things. If an employer think just ten white man can do that job he is obviosly a racist.
The typical assumption of those that support affirmative action. If I have 10 employees and they're all white I'm obviously a racist.
Not, I got 50 applications and none were from blacks.
Not, I got 45 white applicants and 5 black applicants and the 10 best applicants were white.
Nope.........the only reason I didn't hire any blacks is that I'm a racist.
40 years ago I supported affirmative action because the racist assumption was probably true often enough. Once the reality set in (racial quotas putting unqualified people in jobs ahead of better qualified "majority" applicants) my support waned and today I think the laws are totally anachronistic.
