Maybe if Trump worried about detroiters as much as he is coal miners.And if she didn't take advantage of the tax breaks minority owned businesses get then she's not smart. And if her sales person was applying to be a vendor with another company then she definitely checked the female owned business. Gave her an advantage over her competition.You do not know that I DID benefit. I DO know that I worked hard for what I got. I would not have been hired without my qualifications. I suppose you would say you were not hired because you were black and some companies have to meet their "quota" of minorities. You are so presumptuous.You don't know that. No employer can legally tell you if you were hired because of Affirmative Action or not. But you are a white woman and white women have been the prime benefactor of Affirmative Action. If you own your own business and get a contract, you could have gotten one due to you being a woman owned business which is part of AA contracting. So when you start off on what you didn't get handed to you, I am just saying that you need to start thinking. Because if you got a small business loan could be due to the fact you got extra points for being a woman. So again when you puff up your chest lecturing people about working for what they get, you better start thinking. I know how these things work lady. I helped people start businesses. I've helped fill out and explain SBA paperwork. I have seen the criteria.
But of course now that I have said this you will come up with the great all American story of how you got no assistance and that you worked 53 jobs in order to save up money to start your own business. It's amazing the tales one gets from whites when they explain to them the many benefits whites have gotten they pay no attention to while believing they simply earned what they got only upon their individual merit and hard work.
I would know that if I was hired to meet a quota is would be due to the fact that the company was made to meet quotas because they had been caught discriminating against people due to race since that's the only way by the law that quotas and timetables are established. I would not work for such a company. You see Molly, you are ignorant about what you argue about. You don't know the first thing about how Affirmative action works and you run your mouth. You don't know if you got hired because of Affirmative action or not. When you engage me know what the fuck you're talking about.
But maybe her topless maid service business was all under the table.
That was a good one![/QUOTE
Is that your attempt at honor?When did i say racism ended? How do you detetmine who you think wealth is owed to?Since you seem to think blacks have the disadvantage, how did you become successful? It must be because you received special treatment, according to your posts. If you succeeded, all blacks should be able to. Just as you seem to think just because I am a white woman, I received benefits from AAYou lie, Affirmative Action has done nothing for me.Native Americans are getting paid right now for things that happened when one of them were here. You don't seem able to address that You just skip over all that to post up those same old sorry ass, lie filled, dumb, psychotic white conservative responses. You have been paying Native Americans since you were a child. You have been paying them for things you were not around to do. So then we should get the same reparations since we were done just as badly. I was alive during the civil rights fights when we did not have constitutional rights. So don't tell me what I am not owed. Last you believe a lie. I can tell you that I don't have the same advantages you do. That's why you are a white woman, the number 1 benefactor from Affirmative Action, sitting on your ass talking about how you worked hard for everything you got and never were given anything. That's a lie and like I said, you live in a lie.
You don't know that. No employer can legally tell you if you were hired because of Affirmative Action or not. But you are a white woman and white women have been the prime benefactor of Affirmative Action.

Well if I was hired because of affirmative action, it would have been because the company was still caught discriminating. But you see I helped start a business so I hired myself. In the next job was I hired on a contract to provide services, meaning that I was still self employed. On the third I was as an executive director which meant I was in charge of the business operations. So I was hired based upon qualifications. I said to you that you are a white woman and white women are the number 1 benefactor of AA.. You are. I also said that you don't know if you got hired because if AA or not and that you need to think about that possibility before you puff up your bee stings lecturing people about how hard they should work for something. I stand by every word.
I don't think blacks have the disadvantage, I KNOW. But you see my individual success doesn't mean white racism isn't a major problem for black people. The last President faced hella racism from whites and he was the most powerful m-f on earth. So just face the truth and stop lying to yourself..
It’s a widely known fact that if you bring up racism enough in public a white person will materialize to tell you that race simply isn’t a major factor in our lives in 2016.
Sure, racism was real way back when, but not now, they’ll say. Nobody alive today owned slaves, they’ll say. I never see racism, they’ll say. We have a Black president, they’ll say. Back up your claim and prove racism exists, they’ll say.
You've done all these things Molly. So why don't you do this?
So here’s the challenge, racism deniers. Prove when racism ended and its effects were allayed. Show, with data and peer-reviewed studies supporting your argument, when the effects of the hundreds of years of anti-Black racism from chattel slavery through Old Jim Crow leveled off. Show when the wealth expropriated during that oppression was repaid to those it was expropriated from and through.
