Would you deem affirmative action as a success or failure up to this point?
I think affirmative action has done a little good, but I think it makes a grievous error.
I think it is pushing a lot of unqualified and uneducated blacks into positions of authority: like teachers, policeman, firefighters, doctors, scientists, etc. If the black has the necessary credentials then great.
The one thing affirmative action assumes is that all races are unequivocally equal (And I’m not talking from a value perspective, we all have value) I am saying that we are not all the same, physically and mentally. I don’t think all whites should be taking the jobs of asians if they have more scientists. Certain races have their strengths and for blacks it may be sports. We are tampering with evolution and I think it’s dangerous.
It has been a success, most notably in helping women advance in the areas of business and education.
