<p>All that’s simply being said here is that African-Americans have to be better, in order to defend themselves and their race. Affirmative action is our countries way in apologizing for the way blacks were treated in the past. It does not differ from the “wet foot dry foot” law that benefits Cubans. It allows future generations of that ethnicity to be given a chance. Trust me race is not an excuse. Blacks have to work twice as hard than the white person to be treated fairly. Twenty years from now, This will all be irrelevant, whites will be a minority. Everyone is mixing and our generation doesn’t care about race.</p>
