Do you support affirmative action?
Absolutely.

In the same way that I support disabled children having special education. The black population was largely disabled by racism. Many didn't and still don't have skills necessary to be seen at the same level of people who haven't had to deal with slavery, racism, etc. I absolutely support affirmative action.

Goodness, I have a feeling that you're going to say that it's unfair to white people. It's also a little unfair that white people haven't been slaves for generations and haven't lived in poverty for decades because of it.
