Or is it merely shifting the focus?

No eliminating affirmative action puts everyone on an equal playing field without giving certain people advantages because of their skin color. Affirmative Action is a digrace, and it's a dated policy that is no longer relevant in today's society.

I'm a minority and I can tell you this, affirmative action is one of the most insulting pieces of legislation ever to be put together. Lower the standard for me because I'm black. Just think about it..

eliminate minorites? if anything it insults them. I am a african american is true, but i dont need some "pity program" to get into a good college. If the college is prejudice, then why would i want to be a part of it?
I think that if anything there should be a program created for poor people, instead of by color.

No. It gives preference to a race & creates a (majority) and discriminates against other races & creates a (minority).

Sadly, I sometimes wonder if it only serves to highlight and thereby ingrain the divisions it seeks to heal.

It's just a tax shelter for the Conservatives that would never hire minorities ever in the first place. It was an incentive to raise the level of poverty for minorities to even out the playing field. Anyone saying they are black, and insulted would be another Neocon impersonating, so no validity there either Neocons.

I think it perpetuates them.
When will we lose our hyphenated-American name tags?
