Assertion Journal "None of this is fair"

This is in response to "None of This is Fair" by Richard Rodriguez.
Affirmative action is supposed to make up for disadvantages now and in the past. Affirmative action isn't very fair to anyone. There was a supreme court case this year about a test used for firefighters' promotions being thrown out because not enough minorities qualified. It affirmative action seems to make it look like someone's qualities and abilities are not always going to count like they should. The best thing that can be done is to help those who need it, make themselves qualified. By the way, didn't Martin Luther King Jr. work towards equality, not giving people a crutch? It is not fair to show people that they do not have to work as hard. Using that method is just make the problem worse. (I'm sure most people have realized this... in many sports such as basketball and running, there is A LOT of African Americans because it just happens that those individuals are the ones MOST QUALIFIED.... maybe life should be more like sports.)
