Black Political Zone

In Michigan, voters will decide on November 7 whether to continue allowing affirmative action policies or not in public institutions. While proponents of the Proposition 2 initiative argue that it is about "race-preferences," opponents are successfully showing that it is not just about race but also about gender discrimination and other forms of discrimination. The New York Times reports:

The ballot initiative, Proposition 2, which would amend Michigan’s Constitution to bar public institutions from considering race or sex in public education, employment or contracting, has drawn wide opposition from the state’s civic establishment, including business and labor, the Democratic governor and her Republican challenger. But polls show voters are split, with significant numbers undecided or refusing to say where they stand.
