Afirmative Action...

Afirmative Action is the concept to create a more equal society... right?

Heres the wiki: Afirmative Action

Some praise this as one of the many great acts for racial equality.
Others however say that it takes jobs away from those who are capable.

My position is that it is understandable for someone to praise it (as all good intentions should be, but we now how those usually end up), but how, in this capitalistic society, can someone with less ability beat someone out of a job who is more capable?

Thoughts?

First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
