You are very consistent.You linked to an article which claimed that George W Bush got into college because of affirmative action based on his wealth and family ties, and you claimed that I was "defending the rich".
Yet my only post in this thread was agreeing with the OP, which stated "There is nothing Positive about 'affirmative action'".
So no, you don't read my stuff, because I cannot fathom how you can read a statement of agreement from me that there is "nothing Positive about affirmative action" and think it means the complete opposite...

I donate to charity to help those less fortunate. Heck, I even donated to your charity and received a lovely letter from you in the mail today thanking me for my donation!
On top of that, I've spoken out against corruption on these forums, and I've spoken out against the war on drugs (which is the main reason why so many poor people are in jail and have their lives ruined). Affirmative action is about hiring someone based not on their ability to do the job, but on some completely unrelated feature. I'll speak out against it because it's inherently unfair to the people who have worked hard to get where they are.
