Any person can succeed in America. All those people who believe that affirmative action is vital to achieve diversity, they have to buy a calendar because we live in 2008.
The issue that still exists in this country is "white privilege;" in that, although many white Americans may emphatically disagree with racism, they still benefit from it.
My Opinion:
I don't give a flying puck upside the head of Sarah Palin... Yesterday, America elected a man, who is both African American and Caucasian, to the highest office of our land... President.
why doesn't he fight first for economic affirmative action and then work on removing regards to race because everyone does not have the same economic standing. Why is it that he is happy once schools have made schools all white like UCLA and UC Berkeley?
If everyone had the same economic standing, then using race would be discrimination. We need race based decisions because everyone is NOT in the same economic standing. What these people are saying is that it is not fair to rich white kids that get the private tutoring and the expensive SAT preparation that their parents could afford to get them into college.
Do Coloradoans really want California millionaire Ward Connerly to write amendments to our Constitution? He is also targeting Arizona, Missouri,Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Many people who signed the petition thought they were supporting affirmative action because of the language used. This amendment would jeopardize many programs in Colorado which provide opportunities for many people- for example, education outreach programs, including science, math or technology programs for girls.
