I don't believe in affirmative action either, but don't compare it with Black Power. They aren't the same idea.

Lol Since when did I say it was the same idea. Of course affirmative action wasn't passed by those representing Black Power but I used that link for my representation of *** kissing since it reminded me of the wikipedia page for Black Power. I was relating it directly in the post to the supposed wanting of equality but you've never heard any complaints about it. I also brought it up for the comment I made about ..
shouldn't feel like you are owed something ... No one will accomplish anything in life with that attitude. And in one case, equality was their supposed goal during that time and i'm just pointing out now, hey, look, affirmative action doesnt look like equality to me.
Once again, sorry for bringing up such a topic.
