ok personal example ~
My husband graduated 1st in his class from Fire Academy here in Dallas. His dream was to be a Dallas Firefighter --- is he one now? 3 years later? No. Would you like to know why? b/c he wasn't black, hispanic, or female. It worked out in his advantage though because he now has a higher paying job in the suburbs, but still his dream was taken away from him because he was a white male.
Ok that was just one example from here in Texas. You may not see it in YOUR work, but I see it daily here. I would also like to add, none of this angers me - the AA I mean. I don't see why everyone is jumping all over my ass because I suggested reform.
shit
