Affrimative_Action

Affrimative Action Affirmative Action Affirmative action is a major legal issue in our country today. Many people have many different opinions on the subject today. Some say that it is a moral issue that has nothing to do with the legal system. However others say it is a necessity in order for blacks and woman to catch up to the white males who have suppressed them throughout history. I think this issue is an important one because it has to do with discrimination on both sides. I will be explaining the opinion of authors Charles Murray and James P. Sterba, and the problems I see with affirmative action. Charles Murray has an approach to affirmative action that most people that are against do not argue. He argues that affirmative action hurts minorities, and will continue to hurt them in the future. He feels that it is making things worse, not better for society. He comes up with a group of people that he labels the new racists. These new racists are typically well intentioned white people who firmly believe in affirmative action. They do not think blacks are inferior, and they support civil rights. affirmative, action, people, minorities, argument, white, sterba, unfair, should, receive, one, kid, treatment, think, legal, job, education, murray, males, because, wrong, racists, programs, past, make, don’t, discrimination, blacks, black, against, suggests, succeed, reason, poor
