Affirmative Action, the leftist term for racial discrimination, was wrong from the outset. It is never at any time justifyable to punish an entire group of people for the actions of some members of that group. Such a notion goes against any traditional concept of justice and is in fact much closer to a Marxist concept that Thomas Sowell refers to as "cosmic justice." True justice is bringing remedy for wrongs done to individuals by other individuals, and to a limited degree, voluntarily organized groups of individuals (like a corporation). AA's entire purpose is to punish whites as a race, though its supporters rarely have the courage to admit that purpose openly. It has put us on the poisonous path to "group rights," a concept that has now metastitized thoughout the nation's judiciary like a cancer.

I've read that when "Affirmative Action" was first introduced, its purpose was purely to ensure that blacks weren't discriminated against. Its purpose was later corrupted to discriminate "in favor" of blacks [I use the quotes because such discrimination in the long term benefits neither blacks nor whites].
