Affirmative Action-Necessary or Not?

This is an election year. 2008 is the year of the black man. Did he earn what he has using affirmative action?

No.

Did he earn it off of good looks? Money? Privilege?

No, No and No.

So the question is if a black man can accomplish running for President 40 years after the man with the dream was killed then is Affirmative Action really necessary?

From a Republican view absolutely and we must use Affirmative Action to refocus. We must teach from the African-American perspective. Once this happens we will be able to freely have conversations without feeling that there is a racial undertone. We will be able to listen to the other side's views and opinions of us without getting offended.

The second part of it denotes that we must refocus our energies on making sure the Black resources stay within the Black Community. We have to make sure that the children of the inner-city are as educated as their suburban counterparts.

If we do all this then Affirmative Action will no longer be necessary.

From a Democratic point of view Affirmative Action is and will be always be necessary because America is racist. That does not mean that a black man can't become president. Also we must note that it is easier for a white person with a record to get a job than a black man without one. Biased much?

I think so, what say you? Is Affirmative Action necessary or would our refocus on children and resources solve the problem?
