Well, to tell you the truth, my opinions about AA did change from the time I started posting to now. At first I was vehemently against ALL AA no matter what, but then I started reading about an idea of economic-based AA. That seems like it would better solve the problems that AA claims to be solving, at least to me. The people that made their arguments for that were coherent and logical. I am still against race-based AA because it just does not seem to help anything, but I think socio-economic based AA would be a better "band-aid."
So there are people that have changed, even if slightly. Personally I would like to get rid of ALL AA, but I know that that is a delusional dream, of course.But if we must have it, I would rather it be based on the poverty line than the color of someone's skin.
If people would focus more on fixing the problems with education, eg elementary school etc, we might be able to get rid of AA, but I digress.
