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.

"They are more successful because of the privilege and because of events in history."

'They'? Not all white people had slaves.  Not all black people living here are the descendents of slaves.

As for whether they are more successful on average because of privilege or not? This might have something to do with that:

The top two groups - whites and asians, both of which are incidentally being targetted by racist affirmative action programs, are on average the more intelligent, and the more successful.
