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.

Discrimination is a crime and thus everything we have learned about the nature of crime applies to it.

"It's my firm belief that once whites are lumped in the "discrimination stew" along with everyone else; race relations will improve because everyone is dealing with the same adversities, even racism."
Would it help to go to some peaceful small town and start tipping bins, smashing windows and robbing liquor stores until the small town LOOKS as crime ridden as the Detroit projects? It would do more good to increase tax so that law enforcement can increase in Detroit and ACTUALLY reduce crime until detroit is as crime free as small town America. Whites occupy the majority of the middle income taxpayers bracket so the reduction in white wealth is much more efficient if you use it to improve civil rights law enforcement.

"Increasing Civil Right Enforcement" is too vague of a phrase for me to take it as a serious deterrent to discrimination."
Well it works. If an employee has proof that they are being discriminated against they can press charges. So it wouldn't be much of a step to increase the scope of regulation so even in situations where discrimination is not apparent to the employee, proof of discrimination can be brought up.


AA would be fine if it were to help people who have been denied rights or children who have been disadvantaged.
You wish to discriminate against people based on the colour of their skin. That sounds pretty much the definition of racism to me. You don't support AA, you support RAA so I have corrected your typos.

"RAA would be temporary and there would come a point where RAA won't be necessary. But, as for dealing with the present...RAA will work just fine."

If someone commits discrimination and enjoys the benefits, those benefits can be called priviledges and they should be punished by all means.
However the state of not being discriminated against isn't a priviledge. It's a right and stripping people of rights is a crime.
It would do wonders for social engineering if people were taught the different between the 2. Why don't you begin with that?
