Take Affirmative Action

#affirmativeaction has become controversial in the US these days. This video looks at how it helped Black people during the #spaceprogram (a part of #spacehistory that is not well known). It also looks at how and why it has been attacked during the past 60 years. We hear about #georgewallace (and how his action is like that of #gregabbott), the #supremecourt decision on reverse discrimination, the work of Leonard Leo and #mitchmcconnell to put in judges who will block Affirmative Action, and more.

Defenitely helped then, glad to see the American people for the majority evolving beyond the need for Affirmative Action. Excited to see where our country goes culturally by 2026

Great to see a video that acknowledges the fact-reality of actual race discrimination instead of merely pretending the problem away!

Meritocracy makes sense to me. You pick the best regardless of race. Now, we often pick the race and little attention to competency. Standards erode over time.
Just over 40% of all kids born in the US are illegitimate, over 70% for blacks. Better fix this first.

I have watched Hidden Figures more times than I can count. The women there were amazing.

There are several videos about them on this channel. I hope you will watch them.

---- MOST OF THAT STORY IS TRUE . . . except for the FICTIONAL white saviour portrayed by Kevin Costner, who also was the white saviour who "saved the Indians" in another movie, and also saved the world by advising J.F.K. about how to handle Communist Russian rockets in Communist Cuba.

@@KnowWhat-1234 ---- CORRECT . . . and the true story proves my point that the film is not about Black women, but about the white saviour WITHOUT WHOM "the coloureds" just cannot succeed, except at sport.

Liberal bigotry is just as deplorable as conservative bigotry. Take this channel, for example. Yet bigotry is a common part of the human experience. Two “wrongs” do not make a “right.” Bonus points for skin color is unconstitutional. How did it become legalized? Politics.
