Being African American just takes a little more hard work than the usual, but with some help, we can become a greater people

For my argumentative essay I’m arguing on the fact that we should continue to keep and up hold affirmative action. It has been around for so many years and has helped many African Americans achieve their personal goals in life. Some people believe that in the next twenty to thirty years that it will be gone, but I believe that if they take affirmative action away, it would be too soon, because yes, the African American culture has improved by it, but it’s only been a handful of people that have gained success. In order for blacks to continue to strive in life and become a better people, some of us do need affirmative action to help give us that extra boost in life, like people who aren’t able to receive efficient education because of their living or family situations.

  1. I'm not 100% what affirmative action is. Does it help with jobs and college acceptance and such?
