"Affirmative action was never meant to be permanent, and now is truly the time to move on to some other approach."

Previous Quote

I'm not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one's skin color or one's gender, I think it should be done based on one's need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.
