I’ve lived under affirmative action regimes from the year I graduated from high school (1964) up to this year when I reach my “normal retirement age” of 66. Because I am not a member of a “protected class” I’ve been adversely affected by this my whole life, my children have also been adversely affected and my grandchildren are beginning to reach the points in their lives where they will be adversely affected. How long will the injustice of this practice be allowed to continue? When will we all be allowed to have a true EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to pursue happiness and not have some groups GUARANTEED equal results?
Our country desperately needs to get to a point where ALL persons have truly equal opportunities and get away from our current situation where some are “MORE EQUAL” than others merely because of the “group” they are in.
Affirmative Action is about guaranteeing some groups SUPERIOR results, not equal results.
