Affirmative Action Banned!

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-09 21:25

My state (Michigan) has wisely followed in the foosteps of California and banned racist/sexist affirmative action programs in Michigan, that would have discriminated against people based on nothing but their gender or the color of their skin, all in the name of promoting equality.  

It passed by a pretty wide margin 58% - 42% of the vote.. or, another way of looking at it: 

2,137,574  ---  YES on stopping AA
1,552,459  ---  NO on stopping AA

Hopefully this'll spread like wildfire throughout the rest of the states.

"What are you so concerned about? A person who isn't as meritable getting a job a meritable white person should've gotten? Well, I think there should be sub-policies in place that should insure that won't happen. If you still have a problem with AA; it's because a black being a hired over a white person just doesn't sit well with you."

That's been your same argument over and over. If a black person is better at a job than a white person and the employer chooses the white person we think he is as much of an asshole if the white person was black and the black person was white.

You can keep on claiming that we are secret racists and lying all the time if you want, but that does not change the fact that it is unfair and unmeritocratic to hire someone based on their race rather than their abilities, whatever the race or whatever the opinion of the person who makes that statement.
