		<description>I asked a white person who supported the ban this question:

If there is a ban and your child didn't get into college because you found out a rich person with lower grades got in because their parents made a huge donation, would you sue like Gratz did?  Their answer was no.

If your child was denied a place because they accepted a student with a disability (blind, deaf), would you sue?  Their answer was, no.

Then I asked her if her child was denied a place due to a star athlete  with lower grades promising to play for the school, would she sue?  Again, the answer was no.  

Mind you, this rich person or athlete, or disabled person could be of any race.  They didn't have a problem with any of it. What did that tell me?

People, for some reason, are hugely upset over affirmative action when it comes to minorities.  They are not upset by the affirmative action given to other groups, like the disabled or veterans.  Or even if they are, they keep quiet because they don't want to be seen as against the disabled or against veterans.  They don't mind losing out to a rich person, or to an athlete, even.  Maybe they feel like they can't win against them.  The only thing that's left is race itself.  Race is the prejudice that is still most accepted.  If Jennifer Gratz had sued to end special favors for the rich, or for athletes, or the disabled, do you think she'd be getting the support she does now?</description>

		<description>I challenge any or all of the Civil Rights leaders and proponents to a public formal debate where they can't run from their own arguments. The truth of my arguments are so strong, Sharpton and the personality cult will be blocks of ice before they ever hit the canvass.  Put em in the ring with me, if you aren't too afraid!

My Arguing Points:
1) Mathematically improbable that we will benefit from it.
2) Affirmative Action has been used as a means to deny black men opportunity.
3) Affirmative Action attempts to force others to affirm in us what we refuse to affirm in ourselves.
4) Affirmative Action is an admission of black inferiority.
5) Affirmative Action uncovers the hypocrisy of the democrats. 
6) Affirmative Action can never bring about equality.</description>

		<description>I really wonder how this ad is going to play in a covert racist stronghold like Michigan.  Is the direct approach the best route?  Probably.</description>
