this is alex again:
President Bill Clinton gave a 1995 speech at the National Archives in Washington in which he acknowledged that critics had a point. He said he didn't favor "the unjustified preference of the unqualified over the qualified of any race or gender." But affirmative action was still needed because discrimination persisted, Clinton added. His bottom line: "Mend it, but don't end it."


I really like this...its short, catchy and realistic..

IMO, we cannot propose to fully abolish affirmative action, that cant realistically happen and mike will counter our proposal by saying "well why hasnt it ended before" blah blah blah.
