how Affirmative Action

The development of equality for African Americans in America was one of great successes, followed by many small gains and many failures. Illegal slavery did not immediately make all blacks in America equal to whites. It has undertaken hundreds of social efforts, large and small, along with numerous legal actions to slow down the progress we see today. But even today and in this age, in the new century, the struggle against racism continues. As always in our history, leadership seems to be needed to lead society towards true equality. The abolition of slavery was only the beginning of a long struggle for African American culture to become a true part of America. Because despite the rejection of the legal definition of slavery, the policy and cultural system of segregating castes and denying blacks equal rights with whites had to be addressed one by one. Slowly over the decades, we have seen big changes but come at a much higher cost. From the legal right to vote for African Americans to the civil rights movement to school segregation, every step of the way has come with great resistance and considerable sacrifice by leaders and ordinary citizens, so that every step has been given true equality. To make a fact of direction. Of all the attempts to "level the playing field" there is nothing more controversial than a definitive action plan. At its inception, it was intended to complete the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Over time, despite the removal of laws enforcing segregation or discrimination, there seemed to be a natural separation in the workplace that African Americans do not have access to. Although that bias is not officially recognized in the company charter, there is a fair chance at jobs due to employer bias. Two important executive orders actually made the decisive action. The first was Executive Order 10925, signed by President Kennedy on March 6, 1965, which was the first law that referred to the phrase. This was followed by a more comprehensive civil rights law signed by President Johnson. Together with these laws, the federal affirmative action sought to redress the inequalities in the workplace for people of color through legal means by establishing a system of quotas for employers to reach minority job levels. But as often happens when the government tries to enforce the right policy by law, these laws often create problems that can cure minorities. Yet as the use of the quota system began to expand, many doors were opened for African Americans, which prevented African Americans from reaching their economic potential due to racism and silent segregation. In fact, no one liked such an imposed fair system. For whites, they felt the burden of an artificial judgment sometimes referred to as "anti-discrimination." While there is some justice in the notion that white society is occasionally left out because of the color of your skin, it has not helped our goal of making the country a "colorless" community together. Positive action is a mixed blessing to the African American community. Although it did its job in the short term to open doors that were closed due to racism, it was not the right solution. This is because it helped Dr. King's vision of a world in which man is determined not by skin color but by the content of his character. We hope that as a culture we will reach that state and see affirmative action as an unfortunate but necessary facility that will help us to grow and mature into a truly integrated culture.
