In Response to Missing Minority Campaign Rallies

I'm pretty sure that the reason everyone likes the idea of affirmative action is that it "creates equality" among races. This is an honorable goal. However, how do we best get "equality" among races? The only way this happens is if we become metaphorically colorblind and DO NOT take into consideration skin tone.
Thus, by affirmatively acting in favor of one person over another only because of skin color is only furthering the problem. Racial utopia will exist the day that whoever is MOST QUALIFIED for any position/scholarship/etc receives that position/scholarship/etc...REGARDLESS of race.
But, it is true that there is a disproportionate amount of unqualified minorities compared to qualified whites (the American majority). To fix this problem, it would be silly to put unqualified minorities in a position to fail, when someone qualified (regardless of race) could succeed. What needs to happen is that we need to fix the ROOT of the problem. Affirmative action is simply a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
The permanent solution would be to fix the K-12 education of minorities. One of the most fundamental rules of economics is that people respond to incentives; this is how America got where it is. If you tell someone that if they work hard, they can reap rewards, they will work much harder. Thus, if minority schools were offered greater funding in reward for higher standardized test grades, then I guarantee that the education and well-being of minorities would rise drastically. If we took this approach, affirmative action would be unnecessary because minorities would be just as prepared as whites for positions that they are applying for.
So, Ward Connerly (who is trying to eliminate affirmative action in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri) might just be on your side and you don’t even know it. His intention is probably to HELP minorities by eliminating affirmative action. It’s not just to beat minorities down. I just think everyone needs to think this through before they decide affirmative action is the way to fix racial issues.
