I was listening to the Michael Basden Show (and african american radio station) and an ad played Webb's voice from the Debate about affirmative action. They played the parts up till when he defended affirmative action for black people. Anyone listening with out the full context would surely think that Webb is against Affirmative action completely.

Webb still has time to fight this and I hope that he does.

The Richmond times says this:

McEachin said he asked Webb about his views and Webb replied that affirmative-action programs should be applied only to blacks because only they have suffered from "deliberate, long-term government policies aimed at preventing their advancement."
