The interesting thing is that, when it comes to the actual voting, one could argue that those voters who voted for Obama *because* he was black (and you can't say that that wasn't a prime motivation for many of his voters!) *were* engaging in an act of affirmative action, whereas the only voters who were even *capable* of engaging in nepotism for Bush were the voters who were actual members of his family. So the affirmative action is, in a sense, far far more widespread than the nepotism, there. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
