Hell, I'm a black intellectual, I'm not a millionaire, and I think it was a great idea for balancing a world that wanted to be unbalanced.

I've used aff. action. All things considered, I know I had a better GPA than the last student admitted to college... and I had a better GPA than the kid who got bumped off the bottom rung. All aff. action did was get me an earlier acceptance.

Same with financial aid... aff. action didn't make me any more needy... it just got me bumped to the top of the pile for consideration.

In that sense, aff. action is good and bad.

Dude, you didn't need to post the exact same full article twice.
