People who believe AA shouldn't be in place should really look at the big picture here and put themselves in the other person's shoes. Having the upper hand all the time, can make you think differently than a person on the low end....

I got a african american based scholorship and had to work DAMN hard to get it. I don't see how you can say that i got it because i was black. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? I had to go through the same routine as anyone trying to get a scholorship (essays, interviews ect). There are no hand outs in this world. Every job i've held...I'VE WORKED DAMN HARD TO GET IT!!. AA isn't racist toward anyone. It's been here for years and i don't see any shortages of white people getting jobs. If that were the case, we'd be in an uproar. I've always said, "political facts are just someone else's strong opinions that you agree with", and this thread just proves that to me.
