I no longer think that there is a need for it.

Well..I think that to get this country back on course, the best need to be rewarded for thier efforts. Too many times people are getting rejected from schools, etc based solely upon thier race. Too many times firefighters, policemen, etc have to lower thier standards of testing due to too many failures in a certain race.

This isn't a black/white/brown thing.

Kids aren't accepted into thier school of choice based upon a quota for this race or that race.

Why does there need to be be multiple standards based solely upon race? Isn't that racism pure and simple?

At present, affirmative action causes more problems than it solves. Even for the groups it is supposed to help.

The tool you start a job with is not usually the best tool for finishing the job.

what is best? best education? best attitude? best work ethic? best looking? best charisma?

Your world view is simplistic and sad. I am not one hundred percent for AA, but the idea that there is no problem it is attempting to solve is absurd.
