The idea wasn't even good! It was nothing more than liberal paternalism - treating blacks as if they were a bunch of children needing parental assistance.
You don't understand.

Aff. Act. was started not to help lesser Blacks but to put a stop to Whites who were denying Blacks their equal opportunities. It prevented racial bias and put Blacks on an equal footing with their competitors for a job.

Tell me how that's a bad thing?

Affirmative Action was a bad idea, and still is.
How is it a bad idea to enable equal opportunity for all people?

Before either of you answer, I'm not talking about the abused system that is only now disappearing. I'm talking about the actual purpose of Aff. Act. that I detailed in my earlier post.


IT'S A BOY!!
