Blacks have been so coddled and given so much preferential treatment in the past decade-plus that any statement or policy that puts blacks above others MUST be retained, because sliding back to including everyone takes them off of that pedestal. They cannot allow that, and they cannot fathom it. It gets labeled as "racist", of course.
