    Close The Book on Affirmative Action

    By GoGreen58  |  Posted October 11, 2012  |  29909, South Carolina
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     GoGreen58 told me, ' I’m tired of color affecting everything is this country. It’s not any one’s fault on what color that are. So why should they suffer? We are all equal in my eyes but the more we keep making race/skin color an issue, the more racism will still live on in this country. I want to work for everything I get in this country and I don’t want hand me downs from the Federal Government.'
    - Jamescia, CNN iReport producer

    My name is Byron Thomas and America, I truly see myself equal as any human being on this planet. I don’t care what color you are. One thing I know, no one had a choice on what skin color they were given. We all have a heart, brain, and work ethic. Why are we punishing people’s work ethic in 2012??? I don’t want any hand outs, let me prove that I can make it on my own. My worst fear is getting a job and finding out that my race/color played a factor in it. America I’m happy the Supreme Court is looking into the matter, because things need to change for this country to become a stronger nation. Kill People with Kindness and May God Bless America
