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.

African /Immigrants/? We are talking about African /Americans/.  People who live in the USA.  They aren't 'immigrants', these people have lived here for years and years, and are as american as apple pie. 

Regarding your education allegations, I have yet to see a single fact from you showing that they are performing better in the classroom, and every indication is pointing to that they actually do NOT.

SAT scores and IQ both have strong correlations to success later in life.  The fact that there is a racial disparity or gender disparity is NOT necessarilly evidence of discrimination.  Actual test scores point to a conclusion that is quite different.
