Re << if there had not been centuries of discrimination in this country, I would agree with your position. However, that's not the case, and your outrage doesn't change anything nor make anything better. In fact, your outrage is two hundred years to late.>>

The outrage for racism is indeed late. It should have been there 200 years ago. Unfortunately it was not. Lets not make the same mistake again.

Let me ask you (or anyone else reading) a question. Lets say your wife or kid was in a life and death situation and needed medical attention. Would you pick a white doctor that you know is there due to his qualification, or would you pick a black doctor who could be there due to affirmative action. Now how would you want to be a black doctor who was there not due to affirmative action, but due to his qualification, and had his qualifications questioned because he was black. Who does affirmative action help?
