I'm not saying that if you oppose Affirmative Action you're automatically a sellout/racist. I'm just saying that if you're a sellout/racist you most likely oppose Affirmative Action 
Lets talk about people (white or black) who oppose Affirmative Action

I think one of the biggest problems is that even to this day, A LOT of people aren't exactly sure how Affirmative Action works. If accurate information was equally dispersed, I think a lot of AA's naysayers would be silenced.
Why? Black people dont benefit the most from affirmative action, nor the 2nd most, but yet they receive 100% of the backlash from it.
Im against it for that reason alone.

AA isnt "you have to hire black people" Its saying you have to hire minority groups PERIOD. That includes WHITE WOMEN too.
FOH nikka, in 2014 i wouldnt be suprised in black people didnt benefit from Affirmitave action at all with all these dumb ass spics workin for 2 dollars an hour.
Yet we still receive da bacclash from it

You definitely have a point. Dudes with advanced degrees running around claiming that their job is going to be given to a black kid without a high school education...rubbish.
which is funny because every white person I know who has been against it when the subject is brought up.
In an ideal world society would be a pure meritocracy and we wouldn't need Affirmative Action
But we don't live in an ideal world so I believe in AA in most cases
Most companies just follow it to meet mandated quotas

Uneducated people stay losing.
Similiar to people who work mim wage jobs and are AGAINST raising the mim wage because they think it will raise the cost of living and make the economy worse, even tho thats been proven to be false
Like I read in another, poor people are here to be taken advantage of.
A documentary proved that resumes with an 'ethnic sounding' name received 40% less callbacks than 'traditionally white sounding' names when it came to hiring and employment even when the candidates had the same education and employment background. When these sort of discriminatory practices are found TIME AND TIME AGAIN, how can one really argue against AA?
No one ever really seems to have an answer for that.
Not to mention Wal-Mart was recently brought to task for not placing women in upper management positions. You need these sort of programs. Without them, it's very clear that the top brass have no interest in creating fairness in the workplace.

No, they wouldn't. Their opposition to affirmative action has always been grounded in preventing black people from having access to the same institutions they are freely admitted to. They don't care if beneficiaries of affirmative action are qualified. They simply do not want blacks to receive any assistance against the system of white supremacy that keeps them disenfranchised and poor.
Ugh. This makes me sad. I know you're probably more right about this than I want to admit.
"I don't think I should get a job over a white person if I get a lower mark on a test. I don't think I should get accepted into a school over a white person if I get a lower mark on a test. But if there's a tie? ....fukk em."

It's crazy how misinformation works
They disenfranchise think that giving the people who are oppressing them more money, will make they be nicer to you. Never happens.
And thats where our country is today.
