Just to put another spin on the topic, but some folks need to quit ASSUMING that every black person (or any other minority) comes from a poor, disadvantaged, broken home in the ghetto and therefore affirmative action is the only way for them to succeed. This kind of thought process is one-sided and narrow.

Isn't that the point that the plaintiff was trying to make in her case against the University of Michigan?

The plaintiff had a 3.8 gpa and scored 161 on the LSAT but she was denied admission while a "disadvantaged" minority with a lower GPA and a lower LSAT score was admitted to the law school. The flaw with the admission policy is the fact that some of the "disadvantaged" minorities are not disadvantaged.
