Affirmative Action Banned!

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.

"K, that's cool. Except I'm not just one of those "pro-affirmative action people" obviously."

That doesn't appear obvious to me.  In fact, quite the opposite appears obvious to me:  you -are- one of those 'pro-affirmative action people.'

"And whatever discrimination whites indure due to AA is entirely justified due to the racial disparity in this "free, fair, democratic" country."

No it isn't.  The test averages on various tests for applying for jobs are generally, though not always lower than other races.  What does this translate into? It translates into worse performance in the job market.  Your racial disparity is not because of discrimination, it is because of lack of qualification, intelligence, or hard work.  The tests given have a strong correlation to success.  The fact that there are fewer successful black people on average in the job market more than likely has something to do with the fact that there are fewer successful black people on average in standardized testing.
