That's not what this Executive Order seems to be about-- it seems aimed at giving young African-Americans more opportunities to advance rather than just the NCAA, gangs, their family (which is often just the mother as statistically it seems two parent African American families are not as common as with caucasian and Asian families), the church, etc.

This does not look like Affirmative Action. One of the African-Americans at the U of MN in the Class of 1990 was actually a white guy who lied on his law school application to the U of MN. Not much happened to him that I remember. It was kind of a subject of some laughter except for from the other African-American students.
