Why ask? Can't you list what democrats have done for blacks or any minorities in America. Nothing but generations of paychecks in their mailboxes in exchange for their vote while ridiculing any successful black as an Uncle Tom. You must be too young to know that it was the democrats blocking civil rights legislation in the 60s. Check out their votes on the bills.

No one needs AA to get an education in America. How does it hurt people? By encouraging them to try for eliter institutions than they'd otherwise be able to get into. Thats why the black dropout rate at elite institutions is so high. Someone who gets into an ivy and drops out would have been better off graduating from no-name U. No, I don't care what they think. I try to make decisions on facts not opinions. Lots of AA's are misinformed about this and much else. A shame.
