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.

Actually, I do have proof that that has happened.

[Insert Bullshit story here]

This would be acceptable proof if this was a short story contest. I want to see solid proof that unmeritable minorities are being hired over meritable whites. I want to know why it even matters when we don't live in a meritacracy in the first place.

Really? So I'm stupid because I thought you where saying hard work isn't necessary for success when you said the following quote:

Yeah, you're pretty much a completely fucking idiot if you can't understand the difference between my ideals and my ideals applied to reality. Of course hard work brings success, but that's only in a soceity that's actually based on merit (which is one we don't live in)

Yes, there's a chance you'll get discriminated against.  There's a bigger chance I'll be discriminated because I'm white than that you would be discriminated because you are black though (government affirmative action programs).  Or, well, there WOULD have been, anyway, had we not abolished them.

Yeah, so now whites can just do whatever the fuck they please again! Yay! Here's to the white man and his completely underhanded style of "meritacracy"! Wow! You're so genius, Mr. CrackerMan! Let's go back to the days where you didn't have to "employ them niggers".

I've already said and explained away racial disparities in education and the economy.  People of different ethnicities have different cultures, raise their children differently, etc.  This all has consequences with far reaching effects on a given person's future.  This is not something an INDIVIDUAL couldn't overcome (because of course some do), but it is something present.

You can't "explain away" 400+ years of oppression and subjegation, you fucking idiot. This isn't just about "different cultures" when Anglo-Americans created a culture based around the subjegation of other cultures. If you really think it's that simple, you need to step out of your bubble...or just...GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL.
