Equality cannot be achieved by enforcing racial boundaries.

Enforcing racial boundaries? Could you be a bit more vague? I reckon this means you oppose affirmative action....?

@GuessWho cv,
I am certain the person or people that put this together are considered racists by those that are targeted by this message.

Enforcing preferential treatment due to a physical or genetic characteristic not related to the platform which the person is being judged, is not equality.

Equality? Do you believe that "equality" is achievable amongst humans?
Pipe dream. The word "equality" is nothing more than a tool for agendas.

It is most certainly achievable. When a human being is treated like a human being for no other reason than them being human, that's equality.

Equality is used to push agendas though. Sarah Palin, for example. And I thought the GOP didn't like AA... apparently we were incorrect.

@GuessWho cv,
Race should never be a factor in getting hired or getting into a college.

@KatieDns,
If we really want to help the disadvantaged get jobs then we should do so on a "case by case" basis, rather than by skin color.
