[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 278989, member: 7185"] I know I'll pay for this but its my honest opinion. If you wave the race card too much--in terms of affirmative action, etc--you're not doing yourself [I]any[/I] good. It may [I]look[/I] good on paper AND in a court of law but in the end, we're all just humanbeings. I'm a very, [I]very[/I] reasonable, open-minded, patient, modern-thinking individual but affirmative action is something that[I] really[/I] makes my teeth grind. I stand a little right on some social issues--gay marriage, etc--and affirmative action is something I would just as soon see GONE. Argue all ya want about it doing WONDERS for higher education, government contracting, etc, I still think its a MISTAKE! UPS' using it hasn't done much--if any--more good. When I worked in Illinois, there was a minority promoted post-haste past a bunch of very qualified whites. The guy was an IDIOT! The best thing he did was carry around a clipboard and stay the H*LL out of everyone's way! And here in Denver.....there was a Hispanic promoted that had [I]serious[/I] personality issues. When I left, he was skating on thin ice. I haven't spoken to anybody from Commerce City since I left, so I have no idea if he's been walked out by Security yet. My point is this: eliminate [I]any [/I]preferences for race or anything else to give one person an advantage over another. Maybe I'm talking about a return to the pre-Civil Rights Era but I'd like to believe we--as a society--have moved beyond that. JMHO. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
