Yes, they were good but affirmative action HELPED both of them.

Colin for sure owes a huge debt of gratitude to Jimmy Carter's Undersecretary of the Army, Clifford Alexander, who rejected an all white roster of career Army guys for advancement. He specifically requested some diversity --affirmative action -- be established and that the list include women and minortities. And that is how Colin got on the fast track!

And you don't think Sleeza is where she is solely on merit do you. AA helped her (as it did Ward Connerly) when it came to the Board of Regents of the University of California system.

As for their higher level positions, I, as a black person, have one comment: when the shit hits the fan, the white folks can blame it on those shiftless niggahs. PERIOD.
