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.

Exactly, you're right. Discrimination is a part of life, so whiny whites with Phd's should "get the fuck over it" and move the next city over. I'm just making a simple ethics call here, the poor meritable black person may not have that option of moving the next city over, and even if they weren't meritable--- it's not like we live in a diehard meritocracy.

As for your family comment, we are all apart of the human family. Yet, family is a lofty concept to me- just like- the idea of across the board lack of discrimination. It's more problematic than anything. So make it so that anyone can be a victim of discrimination and instantly solve the problem of equality by insure that all are treated unfairly.

We can talk about merit and meritocracy when we become a society completely based on merit, until then your arguments solve no problem, help no one, are as implictly racist as they are antiquated.
