The AA prop. will pass. Any polls that have been done on this are meaningless! People have been trained for 40 years that its not PC to say they will vote for ending this insanity.

There are still plenty of non-minority voters that remember the 60's - 70's when employers came right out and told them to.."Check back later, we are only hiring blacks right now."

It will pass with 52-57% of the vote.

Will Detroit burn down again? It may, but there isn't much left there anyway.

If 45 years didn't correct the problem, perhaps they need to take another look at the problem and come up with another cure. This one is making the patient sick.

I'm certain too that Prop 2 will pass. When my husband goes door-to-door for his campaign, he finds that a lot of people are basing their vote on this issue. The minute he says that he supports it, the next they say, "I'll vote for you too".

It wasn't until I got to college that I realized what a scam AA/diversity is. I really couldn't figure out why it was so important for blacks to have their own house and cooking facilities, while the majority lived in dorm rooms and ate at the common dining hall. Then they'd complain that they weren't represented on campus, even though they chose to segregate themselves from the rest of the student population.

Furthermore, they had a really hard time with freshman retention - regardless of skin color- because a lot of people either didn't want to work too hard for their degree or the college didn't offer the program that they were interested in taking or learning about. Either way, it was a choice.

I really don't see how the AA prop can lose, except if people start coming back from the dead in Detroit to vote for this and Granholm.
