Quote by: SleepingOwl  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?

No, affirmative action does not create a more equal society. It is a racist policy because it says to minorities "You're not capable of competing on an equal footing with white males, so we'll make it easier for you by giving you special preferences and by letting you meet a lower standard than white males."
