MYTH #1 : Affirmative Action Is An Entitlement Program Created By Blacks For Blacks

Black people did not create affirmative action, the terminology, or the where, when, or how it became a policy. Blacks do not control Corporate America’s or the US government’s hiring or affirmative action policies. Blacks do not have the power to implement any policies, just or unjust, at any white owned corporation, college, or university.

MYTH #2: Blacks Benefited The Most From Affirmative Action.

According to the US Labor Department, the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action were white women. Between 1972 and 1993:

* women architects increased from 3% to nearly 19% of all architects

* women doctors more than doubled from 10% to 22% of all doctors

* women lawyers grew from 4% to 23% of all lawyers

* female engineers went from less than 1% to nearly 9% of all engineers

* female chemists grew from 10% to 30% of all chemists

* female college faculty went from 28% to 42% of all college faculty
