You might have noticed the inclusion of ‘you’re 99% likely’ in my post. That was relevant. People missing a college place or a job because of an affirmative action program, then yes it’s a form of racism and it sucks. You know what sucks more though? Having had 5 generations or more of your family treated like animals who never even had the opportunity to go to a decent high school let alone college. Affirmative actions were an unfortunate but necessary temporary tool to try and slightly rebalance a wildly unfair system. If you think it’s unfair, you’re right. But if you ignore the reasons why it was necessary, then you’re only seeing one small part of the bigger picture.
If affirmative action was ever 'necessary', the
time for it has long passed. The problems that
blacks face now are not because of racism, Jim
Crow or slavery. They are from failed social plans
created by progressives since the 1960's which
have only made the situation worse.
