“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?

Do We Still Need Affirmative Action?
MudEngineeer
Affirmative Action has caused an entire generation of Blacks to go to school and not even try to excel because they knew that they would be able to get a job no matter what because of this law . Affirmative Action has done more to hold back Black people than almost anything else that I can imagine other than using and selling drugs. Get rid of this law and help people to be the best that they can be and you will get much better results!
