Reply #48: You misundertand what he said... this isn't an either/or situation. [View All]

Dean wasn't saying he wanted to change AA or remove the race consideration from AA... what he was saying is that we should look at programs similar to AA, but that are directed at class, not race.

He wasn't saying get rid of AA as we know it, but rather that we should create more programs like AA, but that are directed at helping all disadvantaged folks, not just those of a given minority group.


Sharpton is dishonestly trying to act like Dean was saying we should get rid of AA in favor of this other kind of program... when what Dean was saying is that we should have both... not one or the other.
