Affirmative action still exists because there are places and people that will not hire minorities without coercion. I live in the South and have to deal with this on a daily basis. The things that come out of the mouths of some of the people I know are just horrendous and there is no excuse for it.

I agree with you though, AA does everyone a huge disservice. I just don't see how something that is "policy" is supposed to change minds or make any difference in the long run. Obviously though, there is a need for some kind of dialogue in this area.

Your last paragraph really hit home with me. I personally know how tough it is to be a white man in America. I'm waiting for the day they ask me to use another water fountain. Oh, what dark times we live in. I'm just thankful for the war. Every day buses filled with poor, colored faces are carted down to the air-strip for deployment. I don't mind 'em fighting my war, I just don't want them takin' my job.

But, seriously. If you're a white man in America with a job that is about to retire it doesn't sound like you have much to be angry about. Casting votes for guys who would rather see them all hanging from trees on the lawn of the White House doesn't sound like much of a solution. Well, I guess it depends on who you ask.
