Today I have decided to go in a different direction with my blog. From this point forward I plan on focusing my attention on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. These two African American men that describe themselves as leaders of the Black community, have lost there way. Like so many other things in this country for instance welfare and social security these men had there time and place, that time has gone. Al and Jesse have become the same thing they once fought against, in short racist.
Stay tuned folks I have more, this blog will also address affirmative action which I hate, and is a disgrace to every black person in America, it had its time and place, and that time has gone. This is day one of my campaign against affirmative action, and so called black leaders.
What is Affirmatively Handicapped? Affirmatively handicapped is what affirmative action has done to African Americans. It's what make a General Manager of a professional football team have to interview a minority coach for a head coaching job even if he has someone else in mind. The Rooney Rule as it is called, is named after Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, chairmen of the league's workplace diversity committee. Rooney is quoted with saying " The rule was never intended to get a quota of minorities coaches, but to make people slow the process down and look at more candidates" wait a minute, if a general manager has to interview at least one minority head coach then the quota is one.
From my own experiences affirmative action has done absolutely nothing for me, nor have I ever pull the race card at any time. My entire 9 years in the military affirmative action never helped me once. Every time I was promoted, it was because of the hard work I put in before hand. For example affirmative action never came in to play while I was in Ranger school I passed my patrolls because I could lead men under harsh circumstances not because I was black . In conclusion affirmative action is handicapping African Americans, and is an insult to any black person that has made something out of themselves without affirmative action. For example Chris Gardner, this American started the brokerage firm, Gardner Rich & Co. He started this firm with $10,000 and one piece of furniture. Gardner sold a small stake in Gardner Rich in a multi million dollar deal in 2006. If this African American man can do this without affirmative action then all blacks can do it.

As mentioned in the article, affirmative action once had its place but it is an insult to me as a black woman to be considered for a job because I am black. I want to be considered based on my education and expertise!!!!
