Where Affirmative Action Goes To Die

Red States

Come November, five states might be voting on something that's can be more divisive than presidential politics: affirmative action. Ballot initiatives to eliminate affirmative action in government funded schools and projects have been proposed in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. These are all states that will probably go to John McCain in the fall.

Using that logic, minorities in those states should prepare to kiss affirmative action goodbye, too. [CNN]

I live in Missouri and I work for a university so of course this is a concern of mine. They are also being deceptive in getting people to sign to get it put on the ballot by calling it the "Civil Rights Act."

Racism is dead. Obama has proved that with his ascent as the likely nominee. No need for divisive racial preferences.

I was in Michigan last year when the proposition to ban affirmative action passed by a significant margin, so I'm quite sure it will pass in these states as well.

Racism is dead…. wow! That's news to me. I guess Obama's nomination puts and end to racism in America.
