So this topic came up today and i realized im really not sure how i feel about this all the way. Dont get me wrong i dont consider myself a racist at all which is part of what confuses me on this topic because the ideal society most would agree is racism free where everyone is free but isnt this undermining that very value? But i can see the other side of this issue which is that it is supposed to be a balancing scale sort of thing to help minorities catch up because they have been held back due to racism but this act also give them a BETTER chance of getting the job based on their race which is racial preferance and racist. I'd like to hear some opinions on this.
