So you would mistake him for a white man if you saw him on the street?

Do you know of anyone who when looking at him, thinks he is white?

Except perhaps for you doesn't everyone who sees him identify him as black?

Does the EEO/AA require anyone to hire unqualified people?
Yes.

Would you be so kind as to link us to the appropriate law that requires anyone to hire someone who is unqualified for the job?

No because there is no law - it is the result of the law. Why not start a topic on it?

quote:

First you say there is a requirement that unqualified people must be hired because of AA...now you admit you lied...but somehow did not lie and you clearly do not want to discuss your lie...
Business as usual in merkland.

The distinction is they ran something. Some business, in Reagan's case, the union representing actors. He also was governor of a State and had experience running a government, which at the time, would have been one of the top 5 economies in the world if it was a stand alone sovereignty.

A less than stellar acting carear.
A less than stellar military carear.
Didn't he empty the insane asylums and fill the streets with the mentaly ill and put a burden on the taxpayers that we are still suffering from in California today?



In Lincoln's case, he had a failed businesses in his past.
How strange you seem to be advocating for "rewarding failure"

Aneirin seems to imply that we are a bunch of bigots and dislike Obama because of the color of his skin. If that were the case, he would never have been elected President in the first place.

The result of the law has unqualified people hired all the time.

The point is that the law does not require that and you said it did and it doesn't


Before meeting the quota it serves one segment; once the 'quota' is met, unqualified non-AA people are hired, especially in the public sector where nepotism is second only to AA for hiring unqualified individuals.

The law as you have clearly stated does not REQUIRE the hiring of the unqualified. So there appears to be prima facia evidence that unqualified hires are the result of those who would seek to subvert the purpose of AA.

It keeps people totally angry and provides the opportunity to perpetuate racist behavior.

It seems to do that for you

I appreciate good entertainment, and I've just got to say - It is SO much fun to watch you try and quote!

Reagan had been a military officer, president of the screen actors guild, the governor of California... the truth about the man is nothing like you have been led to believe.

Merc, aside from your sarcasm, I guess you would say you're also assuming the reasons that Obama associates with being black for personal gain or political capital, instead of assuming the father/son complex and he is identifying with his father.

Personally, I never took the stance that he was our "messiah", nor that he has "run out of time".  I understood quite well at that time that whoever got the job was getting one helluva job that was going to be a bitch to tackle.  So I'll refrain from calling him a failure, yet...or maybe even at all. 

Being as most presidents have never been presidents before...and many have lacked in areas when coming thru the gate, I also will not judge his credentials for the job.  If we go by that logic, why did we elect a class B actor (Reagan), as the president, back then?

Military service

After completing fourteen home-study Army Extension Courses, Reagan enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve[27] on April 29, 1937, as a private assigned to Troop B, 322nd Cavalry at Des Moines, Iowa.[28] He was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the Cavalry on May 25, 1937, and on June 18 was assigned to the 323rd Cavalry.[29] His service number was 0 357 403.

Reagan was ordered to active duty for the first time on April 18, 1942. Due to his nearsightedness, he was classified for limited service only, which excluded him from serving overseas.[30] His first assignment was at the San Francisco Port of Embarkation at Fort Mason, California, as a liaison officer of the Port and Transportation Office.[31]Army Air Force (AAF), he applied for a transfer from the Cavalry to the AAF on May 15, 1942, and was assigned to AAF Public Relations and subsequently to the 1st Motion Picture Unit (officially, the "18th AAF Base Unit") in Culver City, California.[31] On January 14, 1943 he was promoted to First Lieutenant and was sent to the Provisional Task Force Show Unit of This Is The Army at Burbank, California.[31] He returned to the 1st Motion Picture Unit after completing this duty and was promoted to Captain on July 22, 1943.

In January 1944, Captain Reagan was ordered to temporary duty in New York City to participate in the opening of the sixth War Loan Drive. He was re-assigned to the 18th AAF Base Unit on November 14, 1944, where he remained until the end of World War II.[28] He was recommended for promotion to Major on February 2, 1945, but this recommendation was disapproved on July 17 of that year.[32] He returned to Fort MacArthur, California, where he was separated from active duty on December 9, 1945.[32] By the end of the war, his units had produced some 400 training films for the AAF.[28]
