"However, being that we had Jim Crow laws and segregation for such a long time, I do see a need for some type of affirmative action. I would prefer, however, that it be phased out as soon as possible so that all persons have equal access and opportunity in education... I do think equal access to education is the silver bullet to so many of our social problems...

The greatest problem comes from the underlined portion of this sentence. Who determines when enough is enough? The only end I can see to it is when people with lighter skin revolt. That would be most unfortunate and would land us back in 1959(or earlier) faster than you could shake a stick. The cost in lives would be horrendous. Too many people think something like that can't or won't happen. I think it will be inevitable. It’s funny how many see the Americans with Eurocentric origins as timid and mild. History tells a different story.

For every worthy student who is unable to attend college because of the color of his skin another racist is born. Color should not ever be a consideration and race should be removed from all government and public forms now. The danger is too great to let it continue. The very programs they call ‘Affirmative Action’ act to affirm certain racist ideologies – both black and white.

Never forget the dream. “…judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character…”
