Affirmative Action sure had it's place in history.
Anyone who forgets the way this country was before the civil rights initiatives of the 60's couldn't have been alive. I WAS and I remember. I believe PBS is re-airing Eyes on the Prize. It's one of the most worthy programs ever shown on television, and I hope millions of new viewers see it each time it airs.
But to say that mammograms and prostate screenings would be eliminated is a use of ridiculous scare tactics. It might make some feel that you shouldn't have to tell lies to prevent the passage/rollback of a worthy law.
In 40 years we've come too far, and changed too much, to think that we still need the full blown mechanisms of Affirmative Action, though. Those are my feelings.
