Should Affirmative Action be outlawed?

I want to hear what others say before I comment

<-- Agree that Affirmative Action is helpful to minorities in general (though it is more beneficial to some groups than other groups), however, how long will it take for equality in the job market? Will we always need Affirmative Action to get hired?

To me, Affirmative Action is almost something like a leverage, having a handicap over the majority. When I play games, I don't want to have a handicap, I want to win the game fair and square; no cheating, no helping out, no handicap.

Affirmative Action is a double edged sword. It's telling minorities that they're no good without Affirmative Action, and that minorities do not have to try as hard as the caucasians to get the same job that a caucasian would have to work their butt off. (Though I'm sure the reverse is true without such handicap as racism and discrimination runs rampant in the hearts of people).

It's true that Affirmative Action does somewhat 'equalize' the races in society, but too much of it imbalances this 'equation'.
