Reaction to " Affirmative Action: The Price of Preference" by Shelby Steele

Two decades after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This professor has a very difficult decision to make. Should she take advantage of affirmative action? Every time a question about discrimination arises into the game of life, there is always going to be a winner and a loser. But in the case of Affirmative Action she is feeling as a winner and a loser, both at the same time.

What about if any other black kid with more necessities than her kids, needs it? Or, if a woman or a Hispanic needs it? But what about her, about her kids and their future? There are a lot of ways to confront this situation and I think that she does it on a way that makes me feel that the minorities are segregating themselves.

What I mean by this is that, we minorities are all the time looking for a way to segregate our selves and I am not saying this on a bad way, it is more on a way of thinking, of analyzing our behavior. We are all humans and in some way or an other when we really try to get along we can turn to be even the best friends. So what I really think of affirmative action is that: it is a way of segregating our selves and after all that pain that was caused by our ancestors and all the suffering people had to pass, Why are we still segregating?.
