re: #254 Flyers1974

I think the need for affirmative action has passed, but I also think it was the best thing to do at the time and that the US is better off today as a result. It may not fit squarley with traditional capitalist theory, but neither did slavery, de facto slavery, government forced segregation, etc… .

What organization was it in the 60s and70s that ran a campaign “We’re not lookinig for a hand-out, just a hand”? Whatever happened to that mentality — give us a shot at the dream, not free [tax paid-for] everything?
