I'll come out and say it. I think affirmative action is stupid. For those of you who don't have any idea what that is, it's where minorities are more likely to get a job than others because of that reason alone. Why? What good does that do? Why can't we just all be equal? Why does somebody have to be a higher priority than somebody else just because the color of their skin? It pisses me off. What if it's an important job where somebody's life could be at stake? You'd think that somebody more qualified could get the job, no matter their skin color, but nope. It's all about skin color. I honestly don't understand why we have to focus so much on race. It should matter who worked hardest for the job. Black, white, hispanic, who the hell cares? Work for it. Deserve it. The people out there who preach equal rights for their race, gender or religion, they don't really want equal rights. They want their race gender or religion to be ABOVE everything else. They want to be supreme. There's no such thing as equal rights with people like that existing.
