I was not talking about getting rid of classes (different issue) but the discrimination against the lower class. If you are poor and you skip class, you are looked as lazy and worthless, if you are rich and you skip class, you are looked as a rebel.

Why do you think I should hire someone who has a highschool diploma over a person who has a college degree beacause the person with the diploma is black?

I agree with this on the surface but when you look deeper you find the real problem. Does the black person with a high school diploma have the same chance as the white person with a college degree to get into college in the first place? This is the real problem in my opinion and AA is only a cover to hide this.
