I have mixed feelings about affirmative action, but overall I support it. You talk about equal rights, I'm pretty sure you'd agree that black people didn't have them throughout the early history of this country and you can't argue that the lack of equity we see today is not at least in part, a direct result of that.
To truly believe in the principal that all men are created equal as a means of guiding our society is to take into account the fact that we are all born into different circumstances, and those circumstances (which are completely out of our control) play a major role in our ability to be successful.
