Affirmative Action is a salve for burning white guilt in the same way that Preparation H is a salve for burning hemorrhoids - it relives the pain without curing the cause.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Affirmative action is bunk. It’s simply more government sanctioned racial discrimination. It seems our government just can’t get to a place where people are treated equally no matter their skin color, ethnic heritage, class, color or creed. I hope, for the sake of my kids and grandkids that we finally make it to that place people are seen as individuals rather than representatives of some identity group.

When you create a victim class (or classes) you ensure the perpetuation of hard feelings on all sides.

Freedom requires honest competition.

Could be a form of indirect taxation:

Government forcing employers to give paychecks to unqualfied people, saves the government welfare money.

It essentially forces employers to pay welfare (in the form of payroll checks) instead of the government.

Could be the true motivation.

Affirmative Action is the strong arm of egalitarianism. Egalitarianism a component of Marxism is the destructive force of our culture, our nation and our people.

We're all 'equal' except "some" are just a little more equal than others.. consider:

1) White Congressional Caucus..
2) White Educational TV channel..
3) White Colleges..
4) National Association of Un-Colored People..
5) White people with Minority Status.. and set-asides for them..

I’ll support Affirmative Action once the NBA has 84% white players.
