It's somewhat mysterious and varies from intitution to institution, but they take your race and gender information and factor it in to the hiring process.
Guess what. It's always worse to be white and male.
AA has definitely "helped" women in particular by the millions. And the KKK probably has only thousands in "members" currently. It doesn't help your cause to minimize the one and exaggerate the other.

You don't have one. You can't become President by an old boy network. You can certainly get help getting into a position of power but that doesn't get you elected President.
How would you change it to make it work this way?

Go look at Wall St or the Real Estate industry. Are you going to honestly try and tell me that it is a disadvantage to being a white male?

Looking at faces is not how constitutionality is measured.

The reality is you are playing victim just as much as those who cry there is KKK around every corner and that's what's holding me down.

No. It's actually true that anti-white policies are in place at nearly all universities, governments, and private sector employers.
I don't know all the details of every AA plan, so I don't know what would change. Like I said, no hard quotas, just do it like budgets are done. If there is a severe variance then you better have a legitimate reason.
I see no reason why a business owner does not have the right to institute policies intended to ensure his employees are not discriminating.

Isn't there a difference though between a business owner setting up policies to make sure his employees don't discriminate and the government mandating policies that give preference to race or sex?

But all these race quota systems are inherently racist. Private racial discrimination is also against the law.
What mandates? As far as I know, there is no "mandate" on private businesses unless they are bidding on government contracts. There should be protections against discrimination and other forms of corruption in giving those out, not that I agree with the ones in place. My biggest concern there is that the government might abuse a near monopsony power as it grows, but that can be rectified by cuts in spending which are needed anyway.

Exactly.

Nations are to benefit the entire citizenry, not to forcibly manipulate the labor markets to benefit corporations. The protections of a national government are the right of all citizens. People fought to defend this nation specifically so future generation could have benefit.
Plus, outsourcing a nations entire supply chain is stupid for other reasons as well, including national security concerns.
Nope, nobody adopted your racist/nationalist social contract.

Citizens of all races benefit from the protections of the government apparatus.
Like I said, government is not just an enforcer of corporate desires, i doubt any vets would have defended this nation had they been told they were fighting for the rights of corporations.
