[quote="[LoNe R@nGeR]":958de][quote="ED!":958de]Affirmative action unfortunately is a neccesity in this great country of ours. Yes it would be nice if every did treat everyone else equally, but gosh gee willikers - we dont. And thus laws ENFORCING equality come into play. Alot of you seem to be operating under the belief that AA is the cause of anger from whites to minorities. Hardly. Take away AA, and then see the equality levels drop.

As far as CA being 49% white, where the hell do you think we are located? And whites are STILL the majority race here.[/quote:958de]

Sadly, affirmative action actually ENFORCES inequality.

Michigan State University give black people 20 points towards their admission, just because they are black. If a black person gets lower scores on SAT's and has taken easier classes at an easier High school then a white student, Michigan State still often times chooses the Black student.

How does this seem like equality? You would have to be stupid and blindly liberal to think that affirmative action was equality.

Affirmitave action does not ENFORCE anything but more racism, but this time, against white people.

Also, if a black person gets affirmative action to get into college, then also receives it to get a job, then that black person has acheived everything he has done not because of himself, or anything that he had done, but instead because of his skin color. This IS NOT equality. Instead of making color an obselete factor, it actually makes it the most important factor.

All you really have to do is think about it.

Never said Affirmative Action was the equivalant to racial equality. However, without it rampant unequality would be more prevalant than it is now. Do you mean to say that white americans - ALL WHITE AMERICANS - on their own can be responsible enough to not allow their own prejudices get in the way of what is right?

That is a huge amount of confidence and faith you have in the American populace.
