VCF0867a R Opinion: Affirmative Action in Hiring/Promotion [2 of 2]

QUESTION:
---------
Some people say that because of past discrimination blacks should be
given preference in hiring and promotion.  Others say that such 
preference in hiring and promotion of blacks is wrong because it gives 
blacks advantages they haven't earned.  What about your opinion-- are 
you for or against preferential hiring and promotion of blacks?

not strongly?

or not strongly?
