Race as a Factor in College Admissions/AA and MLK
I was thinking to myself: Would MLK support Race as a Factor in College Admissions given he said, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." He also said, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'"
I don't think AA squares with these ideas. Also, as many of you probably could guess, I think preferential treatment based on race is wrong. I think treating others differently based on the pigment of their skin creates a society with people "more equal" than others.
Your thoughts?
EDIT: grammar!
