I AM BLACK!
i totally disagree with affirmitive action because i think it limits who an employer can hire. in fact it is racist if you ask me!
that is just the same as if an employer hires a white person who has no experience or personallity or education just because they are white and turned the black person down with all of the credentials they are actually asking for.
i really don't know if AMERICA will ever overcome RACISM!

We just passed prop 2 here in michigan ending that in college admissions, and state jobs.
Frankly, It hasnt worked in 40 years for the blacks. But I dont think it was time to give up on it. Here in detroit, the blacks need a lot of help, and i think it was done with pure intentions....i wish we had kept it for the sake of the blacks.

I don't think it helps anyone
The better experienced for the job should get it
and I feel put down to get a job because of the color of my skin and not my knowledge or work experience what an insult to me, after all the hard work I have done to be hired for my skin color

I think Affirmative Action is so we can equal rights in the business world and I agree with it.

It's discrimination, pure and simple. Whites and Asians are hurt by these racist policies. Give the job to the best qualified person.

Giving someone a job based on their skin color goes against the whole idea of equal rights.

It's B.S.
Give the job to the best qualified person who's willing to work for their paycheck.
