Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Obama's election should bring an end to Affirmative Action

timalkin · 11-29-2008, 06:12 AM

The time has finally come. The decades of affirmative action have finally paid off for black people in the United States. A black man has been elected President, and a large percentage of white people voted for him. Who would have thought this would be possible 40 years ago, or even 10 years ago?

The United States government can now completely end affirmative action policies that only perpetuate racism and stereotypes. Being justified in ending affirmative action is a long way from actually ending it, however. Liberal apologists abound, especially in the current makeup of Congress and soon to be the Supreme Court.

Have white people done enough to atone for the sins committed by their ancestors generations ago?
