Well I have to say I am surprised that you read Human Events and some of the others. Who is Annie C.? My point about affirmative action is probably similar to my beliefs about unions. At one time it may have its place and was necessary but it outlasted its usefulness and became more of an impediment than a help or was distorted by those seeking personal gain versus a true desire to help others. Regardless of the good intentions, like most liberal policies, the reality and the unintended consequences quickly come to outstrip the benefits. It is indeed a sad legacy of affirmative action that an independently successful black person will always carry the stigma that they didn't really deserve what they have, even if they do.
