Affirmative action was always racial justice on the cheap.

I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it.

Segregation and affirmative action are identical phenomena which harness state auspices to impose racist dogma.

Some folks of color clamor on about how they don't want their white friends to feel uncomfortable when addressed with the topic of race. Well I say, if they're your friend they'll understand the need. Being uncomfortable leads to action, hopefully affirmative.

To abandon affirmative action is to say there is nothing more to be done about discrimination.

If we are prepared to invest the necessary time and effort, affirmative action can contribute to Harvard's quality and not detract from it.
