Affirmative Action

Okay, I'm gonna do my damnedest to bring this back on topic. This happens to be something I feel very strongly about.

Affirmative Action is bullshit, plain and simple. I'm not a racist, and I'm not a bigot. It's because I'm not a bigot that I feel AA is unnecessary and actually detrimental. AA drives a rather large wedge between races via workplace "ethics". People are being taught that as long as you're not white, it doesn't really matter if you're the best at what you do. It's the same way with welfare. People are being taught that it's not necessary to excel in life by their own action. People are being taught that free rides are offered by our government, and that practically anyone of a non-white race is eligible for it.

These facets of our society need to be removed. All they do is make that line dividing our races even bolder and harder to breach. If all men are created equal, why are some given preferential treatment by our government? It's hypocrisy, and it needs to end.

Oh, and I'm moving this to the Conspiracy thread. A few heated insults are not grounds for it's relocation to this forum. This is a great topic, and I would hate to see it's progress mired by the name-calling that the Flame Forum encourages.
