How can AA be harmful to non-Blacks if it isn’t even effective in helping Blacks? That was my very simple question to you.

And I answered it. Whites are denied opportunities because Affirmative Action has become a quota program. If you can't admit that, you're obviously part of the problem.

You have a legion of straw men today, don’t you?

I’m not sure how anyone could read what I wrote and get out of it that I’m for AA. Here is the one setence, out of a few paragraphs, that you orginally took issue with. You seem to be trying to shift the focus with every post. Here are my original words you quoted...

“I believe that Democrats may use Blacks, when politically expedient, but Democrat programs have done far more to help them...”

Seems simple enough to me...Democrats use Blacks, when convenient, but AA is a NET GAIN for Blacks. What is your issue with this?

You said AA doesn’t HELP Blacks, unequivocally. I said that quite obviously it does, whether as intended or not, because if you have a job you’re unqualified for, you still benefit, while others suffer.

I think you’re reading my original words wrong, or perhaps I didn’t state them clearly enough, my intention isn’t that Democrats have been helping Blacks, and its all working out hunky dory. I said AA has been a huge benefit to Blacks, and arguing that Democrats are the ‘true racists’ because of the negative aspects of AA doesn’t change the fact that its a net win for Blacks...who doesn’t love free stuff, preferential treatment?

Democrats want Blacks to be their ‘victim class,’ to use as a weapon. Some ‘Conservatives’ seem to covet their ability to do so. The real truth is you both (All Dems, some misguided Conservatives) act like Black people have no self will, and are only blobs that are effected by outside events. Its almost like Dems have a great weapon that you really want for your own use.
