JOHNSON, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I agree with Judge Brown’s conclusion that the district court’s judgment for the defendant, Metropolitan Dade County, on the plaintiff’s Title VII claim should be affirmed. However, in my opinion, the plaintiff’s claim that the affirmative action program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment should be remanded to the district court for consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Company, 488 U.S. 469, 109 S.Ct. 706, 102 L.Ed.2d 854 (1989).
