Wasn’t affirmative action supposed to be something of a type of reparations for slavery and Jim Crow discrimination?????

Or, I should say, if we really are going to have this debate,should reparations talk be taken seriously, since we have had laws and policies on affirmative action in place for decades now?

Yes it was billed as a “remedy“ for “past discrimination“

how many years have gone by before you heard That just now?

Of course the Archibald Cox white liberal elites were excluded from the effects

The answer will be that AA was a starting point to make amends for systemic racism that still exists everywhere. The next step in the AA program for continued deconstruction of racism is the generous payments.

Joe “you ain’t black” Biden will grab on to reparations now as a part of his own personal reparation candidacy to buy votes.
