Yes it can. If you know that a company has to hire you because you're black, then you won't be motivated to make any sort of attempt at furthering your education, because there's no reason to. You're being given a job as compensation for injustices suffered in the past by your ancestors. No reason to try and actually become qualified for the job; it's being given to you with no extra work required.

Heck, if I could be given a job making $100,000 a year even if I was unqualified for it, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Also, there wouldn't be any reason to try and become qualified for it; it's already been given to me. And they can't fire me because that makes them seem racist.
