When things even then I think AA should be done away with. However until then it has its place. I mean you cant win a war with out losing a few lives. And that’s what AA is doing, fighting a war against poverty. I think if non-minorities could just understand what its trying to do and just deal with it for a time it would go by much faster. I mean if we could deal with slavery for all that time I think everyone else could deal with AA for like what 20 more years maybe. I mean think of the goal people. I think this is a case of the end justifying the means.
Problem is, it's been more than 20 years now already and when 'the time is up' in your eyes, the idea of 'minorities' getting government hand outs because of who they happened to be born to will be so entrenched into the minds of the public, that when someone argues against it being morally right they're called racist or 'prejudiced'....wait... that's already happening...
