Re: Anti-racists keep the black man down

Good post. When it comes down too it, big business care about the money. If a black man really stands out, he's going to get a top job on his merit. It may be harder for him to do so than a white man, but it will happen.
As you point out, it's a gradual process. The last thing blacks at the top need is people critcising them for being there thanks only to positive discrimination.

Some of this is true, but most studies show large discrepencies in the hiring rates of blacks with similar or near-identical resumes to whites in many cases. It may be counter-productive to a certain extent since AA reinforces some negative feelings, but equality isn't the default mode in society either way.
