Affirmative action under fire In Arizona

From The Arizona Republic:

A group that wants to ban race or gender preference in state hiring, contracting and university admissions launched a petition drive Monday to get the initiative on the 2008 ballot.

Of course, the Left including the ACLU is coming out to fight it. It appears liberals think that minorities cannot succeed unless they are given special treatment, which is discriminatory. Why should you get anything because of your skin color or sex? Affirmative action is not equality, it is discrimination, pure and simple. I think it is time we all became color blind and not care about sex. You should get the Job, position, or bid based on merit only.
