Ending affirmative action (or more precisely government run or government imposed affirmative action) is a good thing because it is just itself and by promoting the idea of treating people as people rather then as members
of a race it will have the long run effect of reducing race consciousness and racism.

So long as race is as big an issue as it is in this society, I hardly think ending AA is a good thing.

AA esp government imposed affirmitive action (I'm against the practice by private groups and companies as well but feel it is there right to do it if they want to), pits races against each other in competition for special benefits and makes it more likely that people will feel frustration and or anger over racially related issues. You single people out by race and they are more likely to identify themselves by their race and look at people of other races as "them" as the people their race as a group is competing against.

That's bs.......what AA does is piss off the whites who want to stay at the top of the food chain.
