Affirmative action possible dead today?

[RTFM]

Just caught a snipit-it of how a white Texas student has take her fight against affirmative action to the Supreme court.
What I heard that if they rule FOR her, it could be the end of AE
(OH LORD PLEASE LET IT BE SO!)

- May also be JUST related to collegiate admissions and not the full Monty.
still - I'll take a gap for the water of sanity to leak in and start its work cleaning bad law.

God I hope so.  AA is a f....k joke.   did nothing but people in jobs they were not qualifed to do.

My wife is a senior HR manager for a fortune 500 company, and while she doesn't do any hiring anymore, she still tells me of how many preferred workers they have to pass up because of AA.

I get to hear a lot of her work problems (lucky me) and a few months ago she was lamenting a situation they had with a gay, black, near-retirement age worker whose performance was so horrendous that it was costing thousands of dollars and hours for the other workers to pick his slack.  She said that because of his status, there was no way they could ever fire him and they just had to wait for him to retire or die.

Maybe I'm just blind or in la-la land, but I really don't think that racism or discrimination exists in the workplace very much anymore.  A company wants to make money and are going to hire the best candidate for the job that will help make the company money, regardless of whether they're black, asian, a hunchback, or an alien.  Then again, this isn't about giving everyone a fair shot, is it?  It's all for the sake of 'diversity', whether it be diversity of race, intelligence, ability, etc.

Affirmative action is a racist dem plot against blacks to keep them stupid and dependent.Bill Cosby and Thomas Sowell came up before blacks were a protected species, and they did it the way every one else does, by hard work.
AA is the dems saying, "We know you're to dumb and lazy to compete so we won't expect much from you."
