Do we really need Black Power and White Power, etc? Is Affirmative Action Helpful?

I am white, and I have been discriminated against by minorities. I have also been loved by them. It is an individual thing. When Affirmative Action started, I think the purpose was to help those who were not being fairly represented. Times have changed. We have more fair representation than ever. That does not mean we don't have still have racism and discrimination. We always will because it is still in the heart of some people. However, to meet quotas, people hire those who are not qualified. Being a minority, but not by skin color, I don't want to be hired if I am not the best person for the job. Do you really think Black Power and White Power are appropriate? Either it is not said or avoided, but most white people will not address Black Power or see it in a negative light. However, when you say White Power, people think of the KKK? What do you think about all this?
