Last time I checked, we have a black president. I was helped by a black doctor in the McCleary hosptial two weeks ago when I decided to run a box knife into my hand. I have clients of all types of ethnic origins, (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Sudanese, Mexican, Honduran, Israeli, East Indian, Pakistani are a few that come to mind) and they were all able to succeed without the aide of affirmative action.

Our society is fairly well integrated compared to 70 years ago. Yes, there are some racist MF'rs out there, but just because a few of those folks exist is no reason to use reverse discrimination. Time to move on.

There are many great examples of people who have excelled regardless of their race. Fans of affirmative action basically are stating that folks who need it aren't good enough to win a contract on their own, so they need a crutch.
