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.[/quote:37ec0]

You said that affirmative action enforces equality, therefore suggesting that it makes people equal. BUT it does make inequality more prevalent, just not in an obvious way. It may seem to make minorities more equal, but in turn makes whites less equal. This IS making inequality more prevalant, just in a different manner. And all americans are not racists, vast majorities are not. Hardly any white people are seriously rascist anymore, or at least do not act on it. Also, most of these racist people do not work in places like admissions offices at universities or in large companies, and thus racism does not really affect these processes. Also, black people are racist also. You hear "cracker" as much as "nigger" these days. Just as many minorities are rascists as majorities.

You just do not give ENOUGH confidence in the American populace
