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. 

The "blacks are just lazy" argument would only work under certain conditions. Those being that:

(A) There were/are absolutely no instances of discrimination or racism ever present in American soceity whatsoever.

And

(B) There aren't/weren't persistant negative cultural memes aimed at blacks and other minoirities.

You guys can sit here niggling (lulz) about SAT scores and all that. But that's the re-hash of the Race thread. I think my point is clear; the only way to really fight discrimination is with discrimination.

Quoting Martin Luther King, doesn't work when you're white. I'm black and have the ability to look at the dominating cultural trends around the era and this one and I can tell you that he definately had the framework right...but things will never been equal in this country if you couple your anti-AA dogma with "Blacks are just lazy". You're basically sitting here, post after idiotic post...proving my point for me.
