I think it's important to recognize that you can't have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience....

Affirmative action is not going to be the long-term solution to the problems of race in America, because, frankly, if you've got 50 percent of African-American or Latino kids dropping out of high school, it doesn't really matter what you do in terms of affirmative action. Those kids aren't going to college.
Barack Obama

As opposed to getting into arguments about, well, these folks have been treated fairly so now we're going to be doing things that, very easily in the minds of a lot Americans feel like, Now I'm being treated unfairly.
Barack Obama
