BS. Tell me where that is the case! Hollywood? Music industry? NFL? NBA? NASCAR is letting a single AA driver dictate something which is going to kill them in ratings right now. Government? Corporate America? With Affirmative Action you have discrimination mandated by the government but it is against non AA so it's OK.

MTV wouldn't even show black videos outside of Michael Jackson until the late 80s. Hence why BET had to be created.
Affirmative action does not benefit AA people and was never meant to be specific to them. Hence today, it is argued that white women, also a "minority" have benefited from affirmative action more than anybody. A 1995 Department of Labor report said this:
A 1995 report by the Department of Labor found that 6 million women overall had advances at their job that would not have been possible without affirmative action. The percentage of women physicians tripled between 1970 and 2002, from 7.6 percent to 25.2 percent, and in 2009 women were receiving a majority of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, according to the American Association of University Women. To be clear, these numbers include women of all races; however, breaking down affirmative action beneficiaries by race and gender seems to be rare in reported data.
I'll tell you where AAs went wrong and that is when they got in bed with the Democrat party (the party of the KKK, Jim Crowe laws, discriminators of the new millennium). Why else would Nancy Pelosi and her Kente cloth crew parade around by kneeling in front of everyone like they did? Disgraceful. Don't think that was accidental.
I am not saying to join the GOP either but for God's sake get the hell away from BLM. That bunch is a pro marxist crew who worship a cop killer (Assata Shakur) at the end of every meeting. They set up white people with arguments like you have presented here where you play victim while suggesting that white people are racist just for existing. It is disgusting what they are doing to the AA community and it will only further destroy innocent black lives. If you eliminate police in the inner city, the people who can afford it will leave. The ones who can't will suffer. You think it's bad now? Just wait.
If you want things to get better you have to have skin in the game instead of hiding behind platitudes like "It seems you are upset by this topic even existing. :shrug" or "I guess it's obvious who the real angryfrustrated people are". Stop trying to set people up until they buckle and you will get a lot further. Open your eyes to what is actually happening instead of blindly following false prophets because you are just a pawn if you do that. Think for yourself.

The 40 acres and a mule never came. All the wealth from the 1933 New Deal went to whites only. All the benefits from the 1944 GI Bill went to white GIs. And all the laws preventing AAs from proper home and business ownership didnt legally die until 1968, but has never truly died even today. That is trillions of dollars of wealth lost and that is the #1 problem now. The wealth gap has widened since then. Well qualified AAs continue to be denied home and business loans based on race even today. There are literally thousands of studies and articles for you to choose from to see this.
That is why AAs are the "lowest caste" and often associated with poverty and "dirtiness." Thats why this "no AA' thing is a thing to begin with. Thats facts IMO. Even though bcd most of these "no AA" women do see AA. Also facts.
Does my opinion on this continue to make you people highly upset?
