Affirmative Action Banned!

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-09 21:25

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.

Again: WHERE IS THE PROOF OF A FREE RIDE? There isn't any! Just a handful of outlandish stories from white nationalist! One trial doesn't even count. Of course someone who is unmeritable shouldn't be getting work, but then again...why play by rules that don't exist? On the otherhand: [u]What is wrong with AA when the person hired is meritable?[/u]

Michigan abolished affirmative action, and sky hasn't fallen yet, nor has it in California.  There was a third state that had a similar measure enacted, and I haven't heard of any problems there either, although I forget which state that was.

And you're not going to hear of any problem either, because you're white. The sky hasn't fallen for you yet, but you live in an insular bubble of white privilege. You don't know what the fuck is going on with anyone who isn't white.

I was referring to present-day racial disparities, not past racial disparity.

So was I. White people will do anything to avoid talking about the issue of race, even though they play their part in this debacle everyday of their lives. It's quite sad really.
