[quote=Anonymous]Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, on the other hand, has compared affirmative action to slavery and segregation. The lesson of history is clear enough: Racial discrimination is never benign. Good intentions cannot excuse its outright racial discrimination any more than such intentions justified the now-denounced arguments of slaveholders and segregationists." Affirmative action hurts those black and Hispanic students who are admitted more than those who are not. He blamed Yale Law School's affirmative action program for making his degree worth "15 cents" and has said he had difficulty finding a job after graduation. "I learned the hard way that a law degree from Yale meant one thing for white graduates and another for blacks, no matter how much anyone denied it,'' Thomas wrote in his memoir, My Grandfather's Son. "I'd graduated from one of America's top law schools, but racial preference had robbed my achievement of its true value." [/quote]
