A need for Affirmative Action?....................mmmmmmmmmmm I would guess that would depend on how yo view Affirmative Action. Now I want say whether we need it or not because that is a matter of opinion. I will say this though the civil rigths movement ws based on EQUAL RIGHTS for all people.... Now do you think that it is fair and equal for someone to be forced to fill a quota of a certain type person? Now think about..... I know racism exists in nasty forms but still I would not want anyone to hire me to fill their quota of Blackness or because I am a woman, I want to be chosen based on my qualifications. See I did not have to work hard to be a Black female I was born that but whateve skills I acquire I dam sure worked hard for and I want them to be recognized. It is not fair for people to get special privilages if they are White nor is it fair if they are Black. Of course. Yes we have been discriminated against throughout history and will probably face some forms of throughout life, but still we fought for fairness and EQUALITY. Affimative Action was enacted, to achieve Equal RESULTS not Equal RIGHTS. There is a difference in the two. There are a lot of reasons why Blacks and women are underrepresented in certain markets today. I hate to burst some peoples bubble but most reasons have nothing to do with racism, it has more to do with personal choices........... I could go on all about this one so I will stop now sorry about the typos.
