One of the larger problems with AA is that you never know if the minority you are dealing with is there from competence or preferential hiring. The competent minorities are often suspect because of the AA hiring of incompetents. So it’s an attack on competent minorities as well. Not to mention it being a de-motivational system when some are aware that their status will get them the job even if they don’t put forth their best efforts. I’d put AA at about 90/10 on the lose/win scale.

A skilled interviewer can determine whether or not the candidate – any candidate – is well prepared for the job.
Skilled interviewer can determine, unless SJW considerations over ride the skilled judgement. Actually I was referring to dealing with them from the level or from the outside of an organization. Some government “services” in particular have a high percentage of incompetents from “disadvantaged” backgrounds. Really frustrating to deal with.
We need to get rid the police, which just means get rid of the police unions.
And end quota of any kind based upon “race” or any kind of gender.
One could argue quota of some form had some value, but only as a temporary measure. There was never any value to having police unions.
And applies to all governmental unions, but can go with idea of having no police {which means no police unions}. Or obviously want laws enforced by some mechanism, but you call that something other than police- and thereby terminate police unions.
And this is, IMO, the origin of the concept of “white privilege”. AA was clearly anti-white racism but it was adopted as an emergency measure for blacks. I’ve always been in favor of the concept as a temporary solution and it was only supposed to last for a generation. As I recall, it increased black participation in higher level jobs by over 20 percent and made measurable increases in the standard of living. Jesse Jackson convinced Bush to run it for another generation but something happened on the way to racial equality – women – who had far greater political clout and hispanics were also given the same AA and were competing against blacks – as a designated “minority” hire. AA was supposed to have stopped some time ago and it was starting to wind down as it’s essential racism was understood. That’s when white privilege was created – to guilt white males into continuing AA in perpetuity.

I picked the wrong week to stop drinking alcohol.
