I would be remiss if I didn't also add to this discussion that there are some tools, while not being cure-alls, are important in the struggle to "end racism" and they are anything that we do that levels the playing field. Affirmative action is one of those tools. While it can be argued on a case basis that is is discriminatory, when taken collectively it does provide society a means of franchising non-whites, which I think is step in the right direction.

I just didn't want that point to go uncovered in this discussion.
