Affirmative Action is a good idea in theory, and its in no way racist, but in practice its been awful for years. I heard Stephen A Smith talk about how its helped white women more than anyone else, and was blown away to learn this is actually true. There is, sadly, a very long history of white people co-opting positive and organic black movements and twisting them around.

We need Affirmative Action, but it needs to help people of color.
