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.

"Again: WHERE IS THE PROOF OF A FREE RIDE?"

He already told you.  Unqualified minorities are getting practically pushed into positions and crowding out more meritable candidates. 

"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."

Bullshit.  I've never racially discriminated against anyone.  Quite the contrary, on several memorable occasions, I've stood up for minorities.  Collective punishment of 'white males' or 'white people' based on the discriminatory actions of a few is not right.
