02 Oct 2003 Affirmative Action — Keeping Blacks from College?

Donovan McNabb said he hopes Limbaugh’s comments that the news media hopes black quarterbacks will succeed don’t discourage young blacks from wanting to play quarterback. His logic is that good black quarterbacks will be discouraged because people might think they are being falsely built up because of their race, and therefore, won’t play.

Does McNabb also fear affirmative action will discourage young blacks from attending college?
