Affirmative action. It's been long enough.

I am 50 years old. When I was in the 4th grade the school bus that I rode on stopped at the "colored school" to let off all the "colored kids". Then it took all of us "white kids" to the "white school"

Things changed between my 4th grade year and the 5th grade. The "colored school" became the elementary school. From then on all kids regardless of race creed or color attended the same classes.

Now back then affirmative action made sense. The quality of education in most colored schools was inferior to that in the white schools. And had been since they were created, roughly 100 years before.

My 4th grade year is now 50 years in the past.

For the last 5 decades all races have sat in the same classrooms, heard the same lectures, read the same books, and done the same homework.

It seems that by now everybody's education level has to be about equal.

Afirmative action today is nothing but an insult to those who are "helped" by it.

The people who support afirmative action today are racists of the same sort as those who created the colored schools. They think non-whites are not smart enough or are too lazy to compete against whites on an equal footing.
