100. Well...
That the government is showering minorities with disproportionately more lucrative contracts than whites?


One of the .coms I was at was an 8(a) and got about $3-4 million a year in nominal Federal contract work (I say nominal because about 75% of it passed through to the "sub", who was de facto the prime, but that still comes out to $750k - $1M a year just because of who owned the company). Oddly enough, this was in Virginia. No idea how the 8(a) thing works Outside the Beltway, but then again Inside the Beltway is what Webb knows.
