Since affirmative action favors those who tend to suffer from
discrimination, especially in relation to employment or education;
positive discrimination, I agree with it to an extent. People who are
discriminated shouldn't be overly favored but not treated unfairly.
People who are suffer discrimination should have something helping them
such as affirmative action.
So for years, black people were greatly mistreated. If everyone used "affirmative action" right after slavery ended, this would cause a lot of conflicts. They would start getting special treatment and white people would get very mad and jealous. This would end up with the kkk and everything would be just like it was, in this instance. Say you bullied a kid for six years in elementary and then you realized that's awful so to make it up, you bypass all your friends and you give this kid the world. Your friends are going to get mad and most likely bully that kid because of the insecurity and jealousy they're feeling. I just think if you treat someone bad, fix it by treating them like a normal human being. Like anyone else.
Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War.
