Your post was not exclusive to race, correct.
But if it was general, then it applied to race.
If it applied to race then it was entirely correct to assume it applied to race.
If you're going to post an article that defends AA in a thread on race-based AA, then you shouldn't be surprised that people interpret it as being supportive of race based AA.
And in fact everybody was correct in assuming that you are in favor of race-based AA.
So again: what are you so surprised about? Why are you making such a big deal about this?

So we can't answer good, questions about what AA means, in the most basic fundamental terms, until we have unanimous acceptance of AA? How can we know what we're accepting unless we first know what it is composed of? Isn't good social policy based on open, rational debate?

I'm done discussing this into nonsensical circles with you because my next sentence would probably get me banned.

I'm sorry that you think fundamental questions about what "race" is is not relevant to race-based AA. And you are incorrect in believing that my mind is made up on this. My mind is always open to argument. If you want to convince me of your position, then you are going to have to argue it well and convincingly.
If you choose not to, then your voice won't be heard.
