I agree with you about Affirmative Action policies. I believe that if a college applicant meets the requirements of the college they are applying to then they should be accepted without regards to their skin color. I also believe that Affirmative Action does a disservice to the black students who the standards are lowered for because they may not be able to do college level work and it ignores the problem of why their grades are not up to par and prevents people from focusing on that.And to other posters who talked about racism still existing,yes it does but it does not prevent black people from achieving,we can succeed despite the racism and should focus on that instead of trying to eradicate all forms of racism (i know i'm getting off topic).Black people have succeeded in the past in the face of more overt and dangerous racism so there is no reason black people today cant.

It creates racial discrimination that demeans certain groups of minorities because it shows that they can not and do not emphasize education. Also, AA just makes colleges and universities set quotas and standards for the number of minority students they accept and actually it can breed more racism in some cases. I mean do you think that places where the best and brightest people are suspossed to be educated should accept a person who might not have the best scores but had the skin tone of a race they need to make their university more diverse. Colleges in the united states should accept people based on the basis of their gpa and test scores and not give one rats a$$ about what color their skin should be.
