Who ever called it ,``affirmative action``needs ``ejekashun``. Because it was neither affirmative or forward action ! It actually did , what it was supposedly designed to conquer . Every time the pendulum swings too far to the right , it also swings too far to the left in return . Equal rights for everyone is an impossible goal , everyone is discrimated against by someone . Ethnic , gender , sexual preferance , rich , poor , fat , thin , tall , short , old , young , the list is endless . How can you make a law against something that is inheirent in our basic nature ?
