I am not sure of the specifics regarding the financial benefits they received (i.e. Loans and financing). But, the decision to make her the controlling owner instead of a joint partnership was a calculated decision to take advantage of various economic benefits offered to minority or female owned, small businesses.

In my circumstance, based on this reasoning and because of my Irish ancestry, I could argue to be included under Affirmative Action because of the horrendous persecution and regard for Irish immigrants in America during the 19th and 20th centuries. It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Affirmative Action has a noble intention but it does not address the root problems of discrimination which is education. It is merely a Band-Aid that addresses the symptoms but not the cause of the problem. And, it’s like fighting fire with fire instead of water (how about that analogy! ) We all want equality, and AA, as it stands, is not equality. Rob

No to mention, the Italians and Jews would still be paying back the Christians, who were fed to the lions for heavans sake! Then, the Catholics would have to pay back the Protestants and the Arabs, etc.
Seriously, I submit as long as we as a society, no matter how noble the intention, continue to place one group over the other based on race, religion, or past wrongs we personally had nothing to do with causing, we will always be in trouble. So, again, I submit poverty, not race, should be the test. That way everyone who needs a break to better themselves but cannot afford one will get one. |
