A world where a white man with a prison sentence is more likely to get called back for a job than a black man without one, as if being black was in itself a character flaw -- that speaks volumes about how much we need AA in some form or another.

Then isn't Affirmative Action akin in some ways to telling someone who is depressed to slap a smile on their face?
You're dealing only with the symptoms, not addressing the fundamental problem that you've raised - I think this is what Librasoul was getting at, indirectly, but instead of being a reason
