Will Obama continue Americas racist policies?

After all, affirmative action is a racist policy. Any system that
gives preference because of black skin color is racist.
Blacks are given points because of skin color. If this was
a white policy, we would have the Watts riots all over again.

I agree with the premise that we (America) should help poor kids get into
college or get a job, but we should not help black kids unless they are poor
too.

Helping a person catch up is a function of that person's economics, not
their race.

My guess is, yes, Obama will continue America's racist policies. That is not
reason to reject Obama, though.

That may not be a good enough reason, but giving driver's licenses to
illegals is, IMHAWO.

Dude! There are lots of reasons to reject Obama, but his position on
affirmative action isn't among them.

My name beEboneesha, an African-American girl who just got an
award for being the best speler in class. I got 57% on the speling
test and 30 points for being black, 10 points for not bringing drugs
into class, 10 points for not bringing guns into class, and 10 points
for not getting pregnut during the cemester. It hard to beat a
score of 120%. The white dude who sit next to me is McGee from the
Bronx. He got a 94% on the test but no extra points on account of
he have the same skin color as the opressirs of 250 years ago.
