Affirmative action is not the right solution. It's falls under the category of what I call "fake solutions to real problems." Among other things, it gives minorities a false impression that they should depend on handouts because of their circumstances.

I agree that A.A. is not the best solution but you tell me how do we make up for nearly 200 hundred years of oppression in which a whole segment of the population has become of underclass?

The W. Germans had a similar problem when they joined with the East. Even though there were some real doubts and concerns, they raised the wages of the East Germans to that of the W. Germans. It wasn't really fair to anyone but it was the fastest way to ameliorate the disparities caused by 50 years of division.
