Affirmitive action was set up as a system to give retribution to those who had been opressed by the united states government in the past. However, this system is corrupt. The fact that a student who is less qualified could get into a college over another student just on the basis of color is racist in nature. I strongly oppose Affirmitive action because it does not promote equality, but rather suggests that blacks are morally inferior to the rest of the country. In the struggle for equality those who established affirmitive action missed the mark, and have set up a system corrupt in nature.
