“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther King spoke these words in 1963, and they still resonate today. Affirmative action programs were established to create this very type of equality, but have they brought us closer to Dr. King’s dream or hindered it?

Affirmative Action is a Critical Tool
Affirmative action is forced racism
. Affirmative action is racism. This is a form or racial quotas---found in all sorts of evil societies - Communist Russia, Nazi Germany...these 'civil rights' so obviously racist its almost silly to argue. To give rights to private property to some, but no to others, based on ancestry, or genetics, or color - is pure racism and pure evil. Any man or institution that gives this un-earned advantage to a group does not deserve rights him or herself.
