Because it is right.

When there is an accounting done of why after 50 years of self-flagellation, 6 trillion bucks down the rat hole with blacks just as bad off as they were in 1948 then I may agree with you. There has to come a time when the mirror and responsibility is turned on those that have failed to take advantage of sincere attempts to right past wrongs.

The end of Jim Crow is the beginning of more equal opportunity; it does not promise equal ends, or at least shouldn't. To tout the abuse of the civil rights movement is a deflection. Are you making some slippery slope argument here? In any event, even if there were some merit in it, and I find little or none, some slippery slopes one must tread because it is a moral imperative to do so.

You're wasting your time. The appetite of the self righteous (especially those blue zoners who can't even get their own house in order) is insatiable.

They will probably get their way and we will gain zip. Are we also going to now start supporting affirmative action and all the other Dem black pet causes so we can reduce black support for the Dems from say 95% to maybe 90%.

Another 50 years of Mexican immigration and the black vote will be about as pivotal as the Chinese vote is now. We're wasting our time. Blacks who think right need to join us (and be capable of honest and candid and painful racial discourse). We don't need to join them.
