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?

timalkin.....if you want to have a discussion on affirmative action (not that there havent been many here already), I would suggest starting such a discussion in a more intellectually honest manner.
To suggest that AA has "paid off" because one black man was elected president in the history of the country, with a large percentage of white votes, is simply ignorant.
But if you want to go that route and proclaim that AA has "paid off", why are there zero black senators out of 100...or only two black governors (one was not elected) out of 50?
There are legitimate discussion points for and against AA.....being an angry white man is not one of them.
