Did you have contingency plans? Dr. Pinkett, is not receiving a bailout, or a handout, like the one that you want. He was awarded a contract to provide his services. When are you going to stop looking for government hand outs, become independent, and have some pride?

If the only observation that you can make from reading Dr. Pinkett's story is that we no longer need set aside or equal employment programs, you are a fool. Its like saying since we have a Black President, we now live in a post-racial society. Nice try, but nobody is buying your right-wing rhetoric disguised in a supposed Black voice. Nobody experiences discrimination in business and employment like Black folks, and good for Dr. Pinkett and his success, but his is the exception, not the rule, when it comes to qualified African Americans being awarded contracts for which they are the best qualified. Phillip,

God knows we don't need no window dressing folk. Dr. Pinkett– a Newark, NJ native – such great mines we have:-)
