Multiply this by a few million times.

One of my friends has an undergraduate degree in Education (and was a teacher), then got a M.S. in Economics (and taught as a graduate assistant), so he applied for a position at a local community college. He was convinced he would get the job since he was more than qualified for it.

He didn’t get it. Instead, it was given to a woman. I told him the reason he did not get the job was because of Affirmative Action, which means “White Men Need Not Apply.”

When he sat in on this woman’s class, he was shocked to see that she made mistakes on the blackboard. “She didn’t really understand the material,” he told me. And she had (read: was given) an M.S. in Economics.

When he investigated, he found she was a newly-minted M.S., with no teaching experience whatsoever. The job should have been his, but he realized he was passed over because he was a white male – even though the woman was unqualified for her position.

The problems continued. He moved out of state and finally got a job at a community college teaching economics. The position was part-time, with no benefits. He figured sooner or later he’d be offered a full-time position.

After seven years he was never offered one, even though his student evaluations were always very good. He again ran across another unqualified woman who had a full-time position. “She couldn’t figure out how to do the math on the blackboard,” he told me.

Bizarrely, there was an African teaching at this college, which was in the Southwest. Students would go into my friend’s office and ask if he was teaching a certain class next semester, because they wanted to avoid the African, who, they told him, was a terrible teacher.

When I asked my friend if this African was incompetent, he said, “Yes.” Apparently this buffoon’s idea of teaching was to tell the students to read the entire micro- or macro-economics textbook (Intro to Micro/Macro are the beginning economics classes).

After seven years he just gave up, realizing he was never going to get a full-time position anywhere. Fortunately he inherited enough money to not exactly retire, but he did buy for cash a three-bedroom condo in the foothills of the local mountains. These days he works part-time at a local bowling alley as a mechanic.

“I worked my butt off,” he told me, “and what did I get?”

As he was moving out of his apartment into his condo, he met a man from California moving into his complex. He said he had taught economics for eleven years in California and was never offered a full-time position. Finally he left the state.

One of the main problems with Affirmative Action is that it promotes the unqualified and keeps the qualified under-employed or unemployed. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but how things are supposed to be and how they turn are usually not the same thing – especially when the government gets involved..

Another problem with AA is the contempt that men end up feeling towards unqualified women (or unqualified anyone). This contempt is intensified when men have to carry the burden created by the unqualified who have been promoted beyond their level of competence.

What I have found is these men are now moving into being self-employed. Who wants to work for anyone when you are not being given the raises and promotions you deserve, and instead have to work for the inept, and worse, do their work for them?

In the long run this abuse of men (and it is abuse) will only damage society. Men created both civilization and technology. Specifically, white men created them As Camille Paglia commented, if civilization had been left in the hands of women, we’d still be living in grass huts.

Civilization is already going backwards, not technologically but morally. This is what invariably what happens when the government exceeds its proper bounds – as it has done in the economy, and the relationships between men and women.

Affirmative Action is simply another social disruption program designed to further fracture the society under the false banner of helping. And yes the intent of Affirmative Action is to prejudice the job market, at least in some areas and occupations, against white men.

Actually I would say it goes deeper in that the constant drumbeat of all white men are created evil acts to create a psychological prejudice against straight white men.

Now if your friend had been a queer he would have had lots of offers - so to speak.

"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

Try all occupations. And with white men having no futures, mounting debt, and no jobs, anti-male relationship laws, unrest will likely happen very soon.

The best part is that with state and local pensions and jobs going broke, the socialist white men whom created and maintain this bigotry are going to learn first hand the Hell they have others.

She still should have known how to do it correctly.

He was speechless. Two women teaching college-level econ and couldn't simple math on the blackboard.

He told me students came pouring into his office wanting to know if he was teaching the next semester.

He cracked his students up. At the end of class he'd ask them, "Do you want to know the secret of happiness or watch me do six one-armed push ups? They all chose push ups.

Just wondering if using Affirmative Action results in the Board of Education getting extra money from intrusive Fed or State bureaucrats? Would be another example of bureaucratic mismanagement and another reason why a "dumbed down" nation is imploding.

I don't know, but unqualified women are hired because of federal laws and the threat of lawsuits.
