wasn't affirmative action supposed to put every one on the same level , how can you continually say that they are being suppressed , maybe the first 50- 70 years after emancipation but not any more every one has the opportunity to succeed or not to it is up to the individual to apply them selfs or not , you need to start with education and go from there if they choose to drop out and be gang bangers or they dint practice safe sex and get pregnant while they are young that is there choice. that is no fault of any other part of society but there own , the majority should not have to pay or suffer because of choices by the minority of society.

Tax payers should not be responsible for bad decisions of people that had every opportunity to empower them selfs no matter what situation they started out from.
