I don't claim, like others on this list, to have all the answers. I merely offer my opinions.
It is my opinion, that whenever the color of someone's skin is used to determine whether or not they 'qualify' for a job, it is discrimination. It cuts both ways. The question you ask is ridiculous. I was alive for only 2 years of the 60's and don't recall much, so I would not be able to speak intelligently of what was or was not the way it could/should have been handled. However, my opinion on how things are done now are based on what I see and what I have experienced. I do not question racism today. I know it exists and do not try to pretend it does not. But the solution to the decades, no, centuries, of discrimination against blacks is to not implement policies that themselves can be discriminatory. You say its bad that someone gets denied a job because they are not white, and I agree with you. However, you seem to have no issue denying someone a job because they are white, and that is where we disagree.
