Let me break it down for you.

AA tells a company that if you have two candidates for employment who both meet the required credentials, you have to pick the minority candidate IF and ONLY IF your minority quota has not been fulfilled.
The whole reason it was enforced was because Equal Opportunity did not then exist in the workforce and still doesn't (It may not be as bad as it was, but the hiring biases are still there).

It's a common misconception that less qualified minorities are taking jobs from the "whites who deserve them", but if that scenario actually did happen, those white people would be able to file for a discrimination suit (but they don't, because they know the qualifications were met).

I'm well aware of what AA is.  My entire poitn is grounded on the basis of what you just said and if you don't think this kind of special treatment generates resentment, you really need to research it.

 

I know that it generates resentment. Unfortunately, it's a small side effect. However, the pros greatly outweigh the cons. If blacks were getting equal opportunity from the start, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

So you can go on resenting, but here are the facts:

Go to school, get straight A's and you will have no problem for the rest of your life. Just remember that a black male is going to have to work twice as hard to get a taste of what you already have.
