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.

Handle it how, though? You still haven't found any solutions. That's the problem. All of what you said, including that link is pure bunk vaguery.

So you're saying that descrimination is perfectly acceptable in a Democratic Free Nation? In a strive to appear more libertarian/conservative, you're dangerously approaching the same twisted nationalistic socialism that so many despots have used as a crutch to disarm citizens, strip them of their rights and yeah: To exploit and commit genocides against them.

Needless to say; you're pretty much a racist. The debate ends at "Employment is the pursuit of freedom, liberty and happiness." Sorry, junior...this is America and in theory hiring should be based purely on objective merit.

It irks me that people like you still approach AA as 'giving someone something they don't deserve'. Where have you seen any indicator for this? Was there an instance where a black man was hired over white man who had more merit? Do you believe he has more merit because he is white? And with thousands of priveleged sons and daughters (most likely white) who certainly have jobs they aren't qualified for or even need- why precisely does it bother you if an unqualified black person get a 'white job' when allowing more blacks into 'positions such as these' addresses the racial disparity?

You entire lot sound like you're defending white privledge.
