The most visible place that racism exists is in the job market. Many people sue companies for not hiring them or for firing them on the basis of their race. The government seems to be confused more than anything. While all of these affirmative actions are being considered, a great number of anti-affirmative action laws are being passed, also. Mfume pointed out that media has traditionally had problems, particularly in broadcasting.
Conservatives believe that affirmative action is a racist policy.
Affirmative action just gives a helping hand to the economically disadvantaged. Affirmative action prefers Hispanics, blacks, and women. Affirmative Action policies do not violate anyones rights. Affirmative Action policies, in the form of preferential college admissions, hiring practices and issuances of government contracts may very well violate the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The list goes on and on.
