Life is not fair... but life is just.

We do not all agree on the topic of Affirmative Action. I am strongly against it.

I would like to respond to Whitney's message, and say that those people on the rez. have plenty of opportunities to get scholarships. Any person on the rez. has just as many opportunities as me, and can try just as hard as me.

There are some people out there who will try their hardest, and will not be able to go to college because they can't afford it, and they wont get a scholarship because someone of a different race will get it.

Personally, I would feel embarassed to get a job or go to college, because of my race or sex. I would rather get that job, and go to that college because I've worked for it, and I've earned it.

By the way, K.C. says that he disagrees with that quote.
