but the other side of that blade is....why is my race considered a handicap? i don't need your fuckin handouts b, I'll fight twice as hard for my shit and earn it. cuz I'm just that fuckin qualified. fuck lowering the bar, the most qualified person should get the position, race regardless.

This is exactly how I feel......word for word.
I know that there is still racism in the world and without programs in place such as affirmative action there would be little to no incentive for a racist person to hire outside his own race. It's for these reasons alone that I agree with affirmative action, but I also feel that it makes the minorities that are busting their ass to get to these top positions to feel like people are looking at them as a product of affirmative action.
So basically, I don't like the fact that we have to have it, but the fact of the matter still remains that we do have to have it
