Affirmative action works but we're going to need to muster all our political resources if we are to keep it in place.

What is so remarkable about the success of affirmative action is that it has been accomplished despite the Justice Department and the policies of the federal government.

I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.

Affirmative action was always racial justice on the cheap.

Segregation and affirmative action are identical phenomena which harness state auspices to impose racist dogma.

Some folks of color clamor on about how they don't want their white friends to feel uncomfortable when addressed with the topic of race. Well I say, if they're your friend they'll understand the need. Being uncomfortable leads to action, hopefully affirmative.
