I totally agree with you on your response. the distasteful side of affirmative action is being hired solely on race just because a company needs to exercise affirmative action. we all want to be treated equally based on the same qualifications. yeah we all need jobs but it feels like rape somewhat if a company is only hiring me bc i'm black and ignoring my qualifications. i'd have to still work twice as hard bc racism is still in existence. racism is so embedded in our society, its even seen in the most minuscule way.

*sigh*

girl...you have no idea...i think that if everybody was just blind then maybe there wouldn't be any racisim...but then we'd exclude people based on the sound and timbre of thier voices...its like you just can't win!!!
