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.

Individuals make decisions based on what they are exposed to, no matter what the collective pressure individuals still make the decisions.

"Who should step in?"
Justice and logic. It's the only way. If you get into this reactionary bullshit with Louis Farrakhan and other assholes all you do is perpetuate the cultural memes and create a whole host of new screwed up memes. You say it is naive to believe that everyone should be treated equally and that some corners should be cut here and there to ease the passing. Well I say it is naive to believe that cutting corners is fine and that you don't have to set and example to gain people's trust.

"There would no need for affirmative action if whites were discriminated against along with everyone else."
Oh, well, I was thinking you know that we simply set up regulations and laws to ensure no one was discriminated against. Though I guess if equality is that important I guess we can pull guns to white people's heads and make them miss a day off work or not study so hard until their statistics are worse than the worst stats provided by some minority.
