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.

I'm not declaring anyone guilty of anything. You seem to under the weird impression that AA persecutes whites (and only whites! because they run all the businesses!) for racist acts they haven't committed. AA persecutes the private sector for discrimination and that's it. If this means, in your eyes, the persecution of white people as whole then I don't see who's fault that is or even if that's such a shitty thing given the degree of racial disparity in this country.

I mean, you say you're not racist or that you're not looking out for the best interest of your race and yet you're acting as if AA attacks whites and only whites.

And if you can't even admit- even from a purely historic standpoint- that being white in America is better than say- being a mexican immigrant or a black southerner- then what am I supposed to say to you exactly?

Should I bring my age and experience into the argument? Should I post every study that proves the racial disparity? With events like Hurricane Katrina and the like; with historic references like Jim Crow, I'm not sure what else it is going to take to convince you that with people like >>3 around, I don't trust private interests (be they white or whatever, but more commonly white) to do what's the in the best interest for everyone (of every race) in society.

The only reason there is AA in the first place is because of discrimination. In a country with a history of thinly vieled (and often blanant) white nationalism; I don't really see how you can sit there and act as if racism and discrimination is over and there's no need for policy to insure a meritocratic and equal society. AA is simply a preventive measure. A preventive measure isn't a trial, you fucking idiot. There's no "guilty" and "innocence" here, there's just facts, problems and solutions. Not everyone lives in the same America as some white weeaboo, stop approaching this as if racism is so fucking implausable.

Discrimination and Jim Crow-like acts of racism are bad for a meritocratic society and if the private sector can't bring themselves to play by the democratic rules of ethics- then they should be treated like the children they are and have their hands forced.
