Yes I do object about affirmative action.

My ancestors did not come to the U.S. until well after slavery was abolished. 
Most Jews in the U.S. can say the same thing. Yet, under 
affirmative action, we are being punished for something that neither we nor 
our ancestors took part in nor benefitted from. Is that just?

At least in the case of Ameleq, we have documented evidence that the attack 
on Israel was just the opening shot, and that Ameleq as a nation 
continued a state of emnity to Israel until Saul wiped them out. The 
generation that was wiped out paid the price of their emnity.
