- Again, could you explain how giving a Blak worker with 20 years service
- preferences over a Caucasian worker with 5 years serivce benefits the
- Caucasian worker? Now, if you want to make a case for specific workers
- denied employment forty years ago receiving special compensatory treatment,
- then please to. However, this is not what the pro-racism side has
- taken to task. Instead, they try to use history not to benefit these
- victims but to self-servingly give a lifetime of special preferred treatment
- to a Blak born today at the expense of their Caucasian nursery-mates.
