19. Here is what we also know:
Many people in Nebraska and Colorado voted to ban affirmative-action also voted for Barack Obama. It passed in Nebraska handily, and I've just read that it just barely failed to pass in Colorado. Yet, Obama won the state of Colorado. This means that people who voted for the first black President, at the same time was voting against affirmative-action.

My point is that when one minorities rights are challenged it opens the door for all minorities to have their rights challenged. We are all on the same boat, and if it sinks we all go down with it.
