I think that's exactly why he's against it, brutha. No matter how good his grades, how qualified he was, someone can always say he got it because he is black.
I got it use first, then after you have reached your goals then it isn't any good. Ok makes sense too me.
First, he thinks blacks are perfectly capable of competing on their own.
White women benefit and have benefited from AA why isn't there capabilties questioned in the same manner as black peoples are?
Second, he wants any black who achieves to be able to take full credit for their accomplishments. |

AA doesn't take away from those accomplishments one bit. AA like many other programs need to be revised with the times, but if the playing field was level in the beginning there would have been no need to even establish AA.

There was never any "need" for "affirmative action". It itself has tilted the field. Nobody against "tilted fields" can support "affirmative action" with any logical consistency.

I wonder how many people that bash AA speak up when they someone being discriminated against on the job, or trying to enroll in college, etc.

If they did, it would be white people they were speaking up for.

Why is that black people are the only ones singled out when you speak of AA when Hispanics, Asians, white women, etc. have also benefited from the program.

And illegal aliens. I've already said that white women are the ones who have most benefitted, and most absurdly. And asians haven't benefitted from that - they have been discriminated against, mostly in university admissions. Eg, the well known fact around LA is that except for asian numbers being held down, UCLA would be 90% asian.
