I honestly don't have a problem with the spirit of affirmative action, assuming standards aren't lowered.
If a black guy and a white guy both apply for the same opening, and they have absolutely equal credentials, I can get on board with giving it to the black guy on the grounds of historical marginalization yada yada. The problem is quotas, and the attendant punishments imposed by not filling them, especially when it comes to critically important jobs that other people's lives depend on.

Yeah. The left and right are not opposites. We both want people to have their human right to forge their own future in this country.
But we should be empowering kids not adults. Giving KIDS the keys to the future. Get them to qualify themselves by working for it.
Not giving unqualified adults the keys to the office.
