re: #336 sattv4u2

I’d have to disagree.
A) At the risk of sounding indelicate, as long as there is a seperate class of peoples in a minority that is benifitting by a gov’t program there is no way it could even be legisalted out without the majority being labeled as racists for CENTURIES to come.
B) As someone upthread mentioned, what should have been worked at was Dr. Kings dream, NOT mandated by a gov;t entity, (other than an employer could not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, nor sex) but rather by education. You will never legisalte out racism or bigiotry. In fact, it can be argueed that AA made those deeper by resentment.

For what my opinion is worth, I don’t think its indelicate, it sounds like a reasonable issue to bring up. I think some programs will go sooner than others depending on which authority controls, i.e., federal/state/or quasi, as in universities. I think the US congress will be the last to be in a position to do anything. It may come down to a SC decision. Also, I’m not sure the majority will be the majority for too long. AA has indeed caused resentment - no doubt in my mind whatsoever - and the Democrats paid a political price. For a long time, I think the benefit to the US as a whole was worth the resentment. Today, I don’t think that is still true.
