In Naff's study she affirmed the impact of perceived discrimination: "When perceptions of discrimination find their outlet in lawsuits and demonstrations, which in turn are reported in the popular press, they can have an impact on the credibility of the government as an equal opportunity employer." In her study she presented a table of responses to views of perceived discrimination by racial/ethnic group (att. 1). In examination of the African American responses, 34.5% of the African Americans surveyed felt that there were flagrant or obviously discriminatory practices. Only 14.5% experienced none. This shows that there is a feeling among African Americans that they are subject to discrimination and compared to the other minorities, this feeling was sufficiently greater. In her study, she went on to break down the areas of discrimination like denied promotion, blue collar, and non-cash rewards which all showed a relatively low level of confidence in management. This shows a deficiency in the equal employment opportunity of African Americans and now , through the government surveys, it needs to be seen whether or not the proportional representation of black Americans in the workplace is equal or getting near there.
