The equal oppurtunity employment act... which did nothing for people based on race.

Your logic is suffering as you try to defend your position.  I fail to see how this legislation, what historians have called the greatest advancement of rights for African Americans between abolition (1865) and the civil rights movement (1964), which forbid employers from not hiring people based on their race, as doing nothing for black people.

What so if your ok for black people you aren't racist?

That's a pretty narrow view. 

The only time that commision was of any use was during WW2 because outside of that there really wasn't many government jobs, and those government jobs were and still are never picked actually based on qualifications.

At the same time the commision was useful, Japanese people were locked up, as well as people that "seemed" japanese and could not take part of it.
