affirmative action is racism. quit discriminating against certain students who might be harder working and better students. just because some student is black doesn't mean they should get special treatment. I think it's pathetic that some groups expect to be treated differently based on their race. if someone is too stupid or too lazy to study or go to college, then that's their own damn fault.

I grew up in Albany, Ga and went to predominantly black schools usually being the only white person in the class and I found that although the town was unfortunately quite racist that I could identify easier with my black peers and teachers than I could with the white ones. I personally feel like I am a blend of two cultures and I appreciate both greatly. I found it interesting to see a black students perspective of a predominantly white campus - I hope the diversity and harmony will remain.
