The man of the different race got accepted into the police force due to affirmative action. Now tell me how this is equal, especially given the fact that them pushing "more" equality towards a different race was all due to slavery. How could slavery have effected today's society one bit other than in a historical stand point. Now granted this thread looks like its leaning more towards the Same sex marriage in which I do not personally have an opinion on, I still think that the point needed to be made. Nonetheless I suppose a more "equal" route is in terms of same sex marriage has its pros and cons.
