Affirmative Action bake sale sparks controversy

I'm sure that's laudible, but what do you think about the state of things right now? Do you see the playing field as being level? If not, how do you combat lingering entrenched racism in the workplace and in education and how do you redress the effects of poverty on education?

No one sees Affirmative Action of a perfect tool, not even it's most ardent supporters, but it is a tool. The people who want to do away with it can cloak it in martin Luther King if they want, but mostly they don't intend to replace it with any positive action. It seems the mostly think we did away with racial inequality in the late sixties. I'd like to die them a few shades darker, take away their credit cards, put them in public housing and see if they still felt the same way.
