<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C Jay, post: 383862, member: 13184&quot;]I remember a time back in the late 60&#039;s where you never saw black people in the work place, unless they had a mop or broom.&nbsp; In 1969 Nixon signed &quot;Philadephia Order&quot; which extended Affirmative Action beyond the realm of government contracts and into the every day work place.&nbsp; I think was sorely needed at the time.&nbsp; We are only now seeing a large share of black people who grew up middle class, and the number is increasing.&nbsp; My grandparents got off the boat in the 20&#039;s and weren&#039;t afforded much being from the wrong side of europe, their kids fought a war and took advantage of post war opportunities.&nbsp; Give it a generation and you will start to see more black people &quot;going mainstream&quot; and becoming interested the hobby.&nbsp; This melting pot thing still does work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
