Why do so many otherwise intelligent people support the racist policy of affirmative action, even to the point of quotas? Quotas, like those used in affirmative action programs, are a means of apportioning rewards in employment and academic admissions, not on merit, but on other criteria such as skin color.
Martin Luther King asked to be judged NOT on skin color, but upon "content of character" (i.e. merit) instead. Proponents of affirmative action have apparently discarded Dr. King's advice.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear that quotas are illegal, but that doesn't stop some people from demanding them. Why is it so difficult for some so-called "civil rights activists" to fight racism, without resorting to racism themselves?
