Description
I. Two Clashing Ideas African American popular wisdom holds that blacks must be more qualified than whites, and must work harder than whites to get the same job (Jencks 1992, 26; Mason 1997, 7). This idea conflicts with "the qualification question"(Carter 1991), the notion supposedly implicit in affirmative action policies, that black employees and/or students are either unqualified or less qualified than white workers.
