Affirmative action barely exists anymore. It was put in place ONLY in certain areas where there were disparities and blacks were not well represented in comparison with the general population. If you personally know anyone who has recently been adversely affected by affirmative action or reparations, please tell your story here and I'll apologize. But don't just go spouting off that something is hypothetically bad when you can't even claim how or why or to what degree.
Help me out then....why is there a large number of college scholarships for those of African-American descent that are not open to causacians? Much larger number than those available only to whites...because that number is zero.
Then tell me why there is a Black Caucus in congress...many Black academic clubs at opublic colleges all over the United States, etc etc etc. If I tried to start a 'White Accounting Club' while I was in school, the first ophone call I would have received would have been from the ACLU, followed by Jesse Jackson.
Please tell me how the acceptance of this in our society today is
not racist?
